Synchronica adds Client Provisioning Module to Mobile Gateway
Automatic over-the-air device provisioning increases usability, take-up rate and
reduces customer care costs
3GSM Barcelona, Stand 2.1C17, Hall 2.1,- February, 2007 Synchronica plc, an
international provider of mobile synchronisation and device management
solutions, today announces the addition of a Client Provisioning module to its
award-winning Mobile Gateway 3.0 (formerly SyncML Gateway) push email and
synchronisation solution which will provide users with an intuitive web portal
for provisioning their phones for push email quickly and easily, increasing the
take-up rate and reducing support costs.
Mobile Gateway 3.0 is among the first mobile email solutions on the market to
provide provisioning capabilities as a standard feature. Using the widely
adopted industry standard OMA CP (Open Mobile Alliance Client Provisioning),
Synchronica's Client Provisioning module provides over-the-air configuration of
synchronisation (SyncML/OMA DS) and email clients (IMAP/SMTP), removing the need
for manual-device configuration. Users simply select their country, operator,
phone make and model from a menu in the Mobile Gateway portal and receive a
configuration message on their phone, automatically configuring the device for
push email and synchronisation.
"Studies have shown that about 40 percent of all support calls to operators'
call centres are related to configuration of services on mobile devices," said
Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica. "The Client Provisioning module of the
Mobile Gateway reduces the support costs associated with the introduction of
push email by providing an intuitive end-user portal for mobile device
provisioning of IMAP, SMTP and SyncML clients. Users can now configure their
devices over-the-air quickly and easily and mobile operators and ASPs can
benefit from increased revenues of correctly configured devices".
Synchronica's Mobile Gateway provides carrier-grade push email and
synchronisation services for the mass-market addressing both consumers and
business users. Mobile Gateway also includes back-end support for popular email
services such as MSN or Yahoo! and provides a unique "zero footprint"
architecture where users simply register their devices with the hosted Mobile
Gateway and instantly receive email on their devices - no connectors behind the
firewall required.
Addressing the widest possible market, Mobile Gateway 3.0 combines Push IMAP and
LEMONADE for mobile email with SyncML / OMA DS for synchronisation of calendar,
contacts and tasks without requiring additional client software on the device.
The combination of these standards allows Synchronica to deliver push email to
mass-market feature phones representing the vast majority of devices as well as
high-end Smartphones used in the business user segment.
Mobile Gateway provides carrier-grade scalability with load balancing and
fail-over and runs on any J2EE application server using Solaris, Linux or
Windows servers. It currently provides back-end support for Sun JES and
Microsoft Exchange and is scheduled to include support for Lotus Domino later in
the year.
