On-the-go users can access e-mail, calendars, contacts, and tasks over the air on their existing mobile devices without changing handsets or carriers

Mill Valley, CA - December 19, 2007 - CommuniGate Systems, the leader in carrier-class Internet Communications solutions, today announced the addition of mobile over-the-air data synchronization to its industry leading Unified Communications platform. CommuniGate Pro ver5.2 includes AirSync (ActiveSync OTA) to enable enterprises to arm their increasingly mobile workforce with the tools needed to improve productivity and accessibility in the office, at home, and on the road. Network operators will find additional revenue opportunities by providing this unique SaaS suite to SMB enterprises that need powerful mobile Unified Communications, while removing the complexities of premise-based messaging solutions.

CommuniGate Pro's Mobility Suite with AirSync uses a secure HTTPS connection to push new e-mail messages and Personal Information Management (PIM) data between a mobile device and the CommuniGate Pro server. Mobile users can access their e-mail, calendars, contacts, and tasks from anywhere, as well as keep all data updated across their laptops, desktops, and mobile devices. In the enterprise environment, organizations can use CommuniGate Pro's Mobility Suite over their existing mobile operator and WiFi networks, enabling them to take advantage of new mobility tools without changing their existing mobile network contracts.

"Enterprises are increasingly recognizing the value in freeing their employees from behind the desk, particularly given the higher mobility of the workforce and the advent of teleworking With the ability to access e-mail and other productivity tools from anywhere, workers can spend more time where they can make a bigger impact - in front of clients, talking to customers, patients, staff, and more," said Ronald Gruia, Principal Analyst for Emerging Telecom at Frost & Sullivan. "But for mobile e-mail to work in this environment, it needs to be an enterprise-grade solution in terms of performance, reliability, and security - and one that ideally fits into an organization's existing mobile contracts and hardware investments."
