Telenor Norway launches mobile office service
Telenor Norway has launched ‘Mobilt Bedriftsnett,’ a mobile office service which is focused on both small as well as large businesses.
Gintel has developed some custom software for this project, including a special switchboard for inbound call management.
The service will be offered across Norway to enterprises and SME customers and leverages the Trusted Services Gateway, which Gintel also developed for Telenor. The service’s monthly cost per employee starts from US$7.
Telenor opens new interface to third parties (Norway)
www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Telenor’s Mobilt Bedriftsnett in Norway links mobile business users to a company’s internal network. This is the first time Telenor has allowed third parties to directly integrate with its mobile network.
Mobilt Bedriftsnett is Telenor’s biggest ever individual drive in the business market. The service allows companies to connect their employees – closer, simpler and more clearly. Mobilt Bedriftsnett will be a common service platform for mobile and fixed telephony.
Businesses using the product will have a virtual private exchange that can include main numbers, a switchboard, welcome messages and menus, group functions, internal telephone catalogues and presence indication. By making extensive use of web-technology we increase user friendliness, and the need for companies to invest in special equipment and adaptations is reduced.
Enormous potential
“Mobilt Bedriftsnett will be the dominant solution for business telephony in Norway,” says Bj¸rn Martin Wors¸e at Telenor. “We aim to have more than half of all mobile customers in the Norwegian market using this solution. Mobilt Bedriftsnett is a radical renewal of the current Proffnett product, both technically and in terms of functionality. The potential in the market is enormous as annual turnover for voice in the business telephony market is approximately NOK 6, 9 billion (source: Gartner). Mobilt Bedriftsnett is our first step towards Unified Communications and will be a key service in ensuring growth in the total market,” claims Wors¸e.
