New service for enterprises launched

* Enterprises get voice, mobility, collaboration and conferencing applications
    for smartphones, PCs and IP-based desktop phones
 
  * The service by Deutsche Telekom, DeutschlandLAN, runs on Ericsson Business
    Communication Suite
 
Deutsche Telekom yesterday announced their new converged service for enterprise
customers in Germany, called DeutschlandLAN, based on the Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC)
Business Communication Suite (BCS).
 
Ericsson's solution consists of IP telephony, mobility, collaboration and
multimedia conferencing applications for smart phones, PCs and IP-based desktop
phones.
 
The user is always part of the company network and has convenient access to all
the communication tools while on a business trip, using a smart phone or
notebook in the same way as when in the office. BCS allows instant team
communication in virtual meeting rooms for video conferencing, document sharing
or presentations creating dynamic collaboration within the company or
interaction with people outside the company boundaries.
 
Deutsche Telekom plans the commercial launch for April 2010.
 
"Users want to be able to work wherever they are and not be limited to a desk at
their office. Ericsson Business Communication Suite can do that for them and
Deutsche Telekom is one of the first operators worldwide to make use of it by
introducing DeutschlandLAN", said Jan Wäreby, Head of Business Unit Multimedia
at Ericsson.
 
The Ericsson Business Communication Suite is fully 3GPP IMS compliant. It can
serve 250,000 subscribers and can be extended if required. Based on open
standards, and bundled with other operator network capabilities, BCS provides
operators with a good baseline for a "one stop shop" offering towards the
Enterprise segment.
