Mobile Voice

None of us could run our business without mobile phones: they keep us going, keep us connected and keep business moving. Given the rapid development of mobile technology you will not only need to review your requirements regularly but consider a number of important factors:

Which network to connect to?
Which tariff to use?
When to switch?
What equipment do I need?
What billing options are available?
How can Mobile Data solutions help my business?

The time involved in making the right decision can be substantial, especially with the complexity and the number of tariffs now available. To help you we have a team of specially trained professionals who will work with you on every aspect of your buying decision and will then be on hand to help you during the life of your agreement

The Network

Cost is an important factor in changing mobile provider. However, changing networks, particularly if you are already happy with the resilience and coverage from your existing provider can be a difficult decision to make. That is why IDN will consider this to the relative strengths of the alternative providers.

It is not just the coverage that has to be considered and IDN undertake a number of reviews in respect of the network provider:

What features are available over that network?
What hardware can be used?
What additional services are available?
Is billing accurate and clear?

Mobile 3G Datacards

The Mobile Connect 3G/GPRS Datacard can be used with almost any laptop to provide high-speed internet services and e-mail access letting you work wherever you are. There is no need for a separate mobile phone and no complicated set-up process.

How does it work?
Mobile Connect uses one of the 3G networks, enabling connection speeds up to seven times faster than a 56k PSTN modem dial-up connection. If you find yourself in an area without 3G coverage, the card will switch automatically to the well-established GPRS data service. In both cases, you'll be able to:
  • Access internet-based e-mail accounts
  • Browse any web page
  • Send and receive text messages
  • Chat using instant messages
  • Monitor your usage

By setting up a link between your corporate network and the mobile network, you can even access your company local area network (LAN).

BlackBerry is a unique handheld device for sending and receiving emails on the move; it can also be used as a mobile phone and it's the world's most popular remote email solution, with over 2 million users worldwide. BlackBerry is a wireless email solution that simplifies remote email access and PIM functionality wherever mobile professionals may be, while addressing crucial requirements regarding security, integration and cost.

Application Development

The success of the BlackBerry solution for wireless email has demonstrated the important productivity benefits of continuous access to information, when and where it is needed. But BlackBerry is capable of much more. Version 3.5 (and later) of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server incorporates the Mobile Data Service. This allows you to use custom java applications as well as web browsing on the move.

For example:

  • Law firms are accessing time-billing applications to capture billable hours whilst on the move.
  • Service engineers are calling on their next job whilst closing off the one they have just finished.
  • Mobile sales professionals are checking dynamic stock and price information to capture orders.

And everyone is browsing the internet and their corporate intranet for information whilst on the move.
