Synchronica Mobile Gateway provides carrier-grade push email and synchronization services for virtually all mass-market feature phones and Smartphones on the market today. Based on the dominant open industry standards, Push IMAP for mobile email, and SyncML (OMA DS) for contact, calendar, notes, and task synchronization, it works with the built-in email and synchronization clients found in more than 1.5 billion phones worldwide.
Mobile Gateway was also the first solution to deliver Microsoft Exchange connectivity to the iPhone and continues to deliver push email and synchronization services to devices from all major handset manufacturers, including Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Palm, Samsung, and Motorola.
Mobile Gateway does not require any additional software installation on the users PC, on the mobile phone, or firewall modification in the corporate network. Instead, Mobile Gateway is operated in the data centre of the service provider and connects to the users mail server through a secure connection. The combination of this zero-footprint architecture with the built-in over-the-air provisioning module, eases service activation and improves adoption rates.
Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in mobile technology are helping shape better products and services, says Network Products Guide Chief Editor, Rake Narang. As workforces become increasingly mobile, consumers are demanding access to email, calendar, and contact information, no matter their location or type of phone. Synchronica Mobile Gateway solves this problem by delivering a superior mobile email solution to the global mass market, that is both cost-effective and offers a high-quality user experience.
