Nokia launches its Total Mobility Office solution - making GSM the preferred phone in the workplace
February 23, 1999
Nokia today launched its Total Mobility Office solutions, a viable alternative to traditional office based PBX (Private Branch Exchange) systems. Nokia's Total Mobility Office incorporates two solutions: the Nokia GSM Office and the Nokia GSM Intranet Office.
The Nokia Total Mobility Office solutions bring flexibility, mobility and freedom to the office, enabling GSM to become the preferred phone in the workplace. This will be made possible with the launch of new products including Nokia Location Dependent Services (LDS) and the Nokia Service Positioning System, the Nokia Service Gateway and the new Nokia InSite Base Station.
"Companies that embrace total mobility will enjoy a simplified telephone service - one telephone system for the entire company's voice and data telephony needs, one bill, only one number for each employee, one voice-mail system, and the same familiar PBX-like services indoors, outdoors, and abroad," says Olli Oittinen, Vice President, System Marketing and Sales, Radio Access Systems, Nokia Telecommunications.
The barriers in delivering high quality mobile communications in the office have previously been the relatively high cost of implementing a dedicated indoor network with ideal coverage and capacity. As a part of both the Nokia GSM Office and Nokia GSM Intranet Office solutions, the Nokia InSite Base Station overcomes these restraints and can be deployed at only one tenth of the cost of conventional alternatives.
Both the Nokia GSM Office and the Nokia GSM Intranet Office include the means to ease a corporate customer's concerns over control. At the same time, they both provide the operator with a tool to easily manage service offerings - the Nokia Network Service gateway.
LDS can be used with the Nokia GSM Office solution, in conjunction with Intelligent Network (IN) services to create attractive, versatile, subscriber service packages. This approach uses GSM technology to determine where a subscriber is located in the network and IN to apply the subscriber-specific tariffing and other services.
The Nokia GSM Intranet Office brings Total Mobility to those corporate customers who choose to implement IP-based solutions. Its state-of-the-art technology merges GSM and IP telephony to route all internal calls over the company's intranet, via the corporate LAN (Local Area Network) - while switching outside calls normally through the GSM network.
Nokia is and continues to be a pioneer and established leader in GSM. As the number of subscribers to mobile services continues to increase, with networks carrying more information than ever before, Nokia is leading the way to provide innovative solutions to improve the mobile industry's overall efficiency.
Nokia is the world's leading mobile phone supplier and a leading supplier of mobile and fixed telecom networks including related customer services. Nokia also supplies solutions and products for fixed and wireless datacom, as well as multimedia terminals and computer monitors. In 1998, net sales totaled FIM 79.2 billion (USD 15.7 billion, EUR 13.3 billion). Headquartered in Finland, Nokia is listed on five European Stock Exchanges and on the New York Stock Exchange (NOK.A), has sales in over 130 countries and employs more than 44,000 people worldwide.
