Offering a secure connection for
teleworkers and road warriors to access corporate data and - increasingly - enterprise
voice switches gets a whole lot easier for Mitel customers.
The company has announced enterprise
mobility solutions that embed the necessary VPN (Virtual Private Network)
functionality right into a plug and play teleworker solution.
The Mitel Teleworker Solution integrates
with Mitel's Managed Application Server, a multi-function network
server solution that brigns together wired and wireless access, extends voice mail, conferencing and speech
recognition to mobile devices regardless of service
provider.
The Managed Application Server scales to 500
users and is designed for small and medium business or large enterprise looking
to provide point solutions. Firewall security, centralised file management, virus
protected e-mail system, and the teleworker support, come together in a
remotely managed solution.
With teleworking a key to employee
productivity improvements as well as an increasingly important part of business
continuity planning, the Mitel Teleworker solution brings together unified
communications with a collaboration platform that plugs into any broadband
connection.
This eliminates the complications of setting
up a separate firewall as 128-bit AES encrypted voice and data traffic between
remote user and the Mitel Managed Applications Server is ready to go in the
plug and play solution.
With the Your Assistant Softphone supporting
presence and availability, secure Instant Messaging (IM) and file transfer,
video, data sharing and full collaboration over the Mitel ICP systems the Mitel
Mobility Solutions portfolio is designed to offer an integrated, end-to-end mobility
solution almost out of the box.
In addition to the teleworker product, Mitel's
mobility solutions include what Mitel calls its second generation Mobile
Extension solution which extends PBX features and functionality to any mobile,
home or wireless device.
This includes features like Calling Line ID
to the mobile or remote device, call transfer, hold and conference codes, and
the ability to establish a Quick Conference from any mobile device over the
corporate network.
To reduce roaming and long distance charges, Mobile Extension can also be used
in conjunction with enterprise hot-desking to seamlessly move phone calls from
cell to desk phone in any enterprise location. The user simply logs in to the
nearest Mitel IP Phone and takes control of the phone making it their extension
number complete with their user profile.
Gwilym Funnell, Mitel Australia Managing
Director commented, "Mitel's mobility solutions can help any business offer
more flexible working arrangements. You can work anywhere, anytime - it's your
choice.
"Keeping information secure has always been
a challenge when using laptops, so Mitel has developed easy to use, encryption
protected document sharing and communications solutions for employees working
away from the office."
