Siemens Focuses on Mobile UC

Siemens Enterprise Communications is taking unified communications to the handset with the launch of a mobile client that it packages with existing products.

The vendor announced OpenScape Mobility this week, which can be leveraged by carriers to deliver a hosted solution. It combines the Siemens HiPath MobileConnect product for enabling dual-mode services, the HiPath Wireless WLAN suite, and the new OpenScape Enterprise Mobile Client for handsets.

OpenScape Mobility is part of the Siemens OpenScape Unified Communications Suite launched earlier this year.

"The mobile UC market is now emerging ─ combining the user-centric benefits of mobility, with the features and manageability of enterprise UC," said Dean Bubley, founder of Disruptive Analysis. "Together, these should enable increased productivity, improved reachability and help drive down overall costs of business mobile communications. Vendors that can understand both the unique aspects of wireless and the realities of corporate UC will lead this new market."
