Cisco, Nokia Integrate

BARCELONA -- Cisco® (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced enhancements to the Enterprise Mobility Solution from Cisco and Nokia with the addition of the latest Nokia Eseries smartphones, Nokia E61i and Nokia E65, to help businesses improve productivity and efficiency by extending the rich set of office communications features from the Cisco Unified Communications family of products to a greater range of mobile devices operating across multiple networks. The Enterprise Mobility Solution is a fixed-mobile converged (FMC) Internet Protocol (IP) communications solution featuring Nokia dual mode business-optimized devices and Cisco wireless IP communications infrastructure.

Volvo Trucks France, working with Cisco and Nokia, commenced beta field trials of the Enterprise Mobility Solution in January at its central marketing operation, with plans to roll out the solution to up to 300 users across 30 sales and customer service sites in France.

Yves Blanchet, infrastructure manager of the ISIT organisation at Volvo Trucks France, said: "The most important benefit for Volvo Trucks of the Cisco-Nokia solution is that it is possible for us to have one device for everything. It gives us a new approach to working when all business communications services, whether fixed or mobile, voice, messaging and e-mail, can be brought to the user simply and efficiently. At the same time, we can reduce costs by routing more calls over our privately owned network."
