5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
"Now, BlackBerry users can benefit from the coverage and cost-savings benefits delivered by Agito Networks' enterprise mobility solution, which supports the broadest set of handsets, PBXs and WLANs, and delivers industry-leading WiFi/cellular network handover," Agito says. "The industry has been asking mobile UC vendors to deliver support for BlackBerry smartphones for years, including vendors who have been in business and trying longer than Agito Networks," said Pejman Roshan, Agito Networks' chief marketing officer. Agito's solution comprises the Agito RoamAnywhere Mobility Router - which integrates with various vendors' UC systems - and client software for a range of mobile devices (Agito claims to already support more than 40 mobile handsets globally, approximately three times as many devices as its closest competitor) With the BlackBerry now supported, Agito says that the RoamAnywhere Mobility Router "is the only solution to combine mid-call features for BlackBerry smartphones - such as hold, conferencing, transfer; a single enterprise number and voicemail; directory query; and call retrieve - with automatic sub-100 millisecond handover over both WiFi and cellular networks...[and] full-featured cost savings for BlackBerry users - such as international direct dialing and roaming, least-cost routing, reverse dialing, automatic SIM swap, and dynamic calling rules." Agito said that BlackBerry support would be available worldwide from early July through its channel partners.
