Avaya, Nokia partner on FMC for Eseries phones

Avaya and Nokia have unveiled an application to offer businesses fixed-mobile convergence on Nokia’s Eseries mobile phones. The Avaya one-X Mobile Dual Mode Edition creates a mobile device with SIP capabilities that can make and receive calls over both mobile networks and WLANs. Enterprise telephony features available with the dual-mode platform include conferencing, transfer, and extension dialing. Security benefits include the ability to authenticate the Nokia Eseries device to a PBX, allowing only authorised users to access the company’s systems. Avaya will sell the mobile application as part of its IP telephony portfolio through its enterprise channels; Nokia will sell the product through its operator and other channels. Avaya one-X Mobile is available now for download to the Nokia E60, Nokia E61 or Nokia E70. It requires Avaya Communication Manager software, Avaya SIP Enablement Services (SES) and an Avaya Extension to Cellular Dual Mode license.
