The Synchronica Mobile Gateway brings mobile email and synchronization to many mass market devices, generating additional revenues from valuable business users and expanding mobile email to the consumer market.
As a key advantage unmatched by other products, Mobile Gateway does not require any software installation on the device or firewall modification in the corporate IT. Instead, Mobile Gateway is operated in the data center of the service provider and connects to the user's mail server through a secure connection.
The unique zero footprint architecture leads to easy setup for users and a fast take-up rate, enabling service providers to offer mobile email and synchronization of calendar, contacts, notes, and tasks directly to end-users without having to convince the IT department to install software for external access to corporate data. Users simply register their devices with the Mobile Gateway and instantly synchronize their email and PIM data over the air.
Synchronica is among the first to combine SyncML (OMA DS) for synchronization of calendar and contacts with Push IMAP (LEMONADE) for mobile email supporting OMA EMN and email-to-SMS functionality. While SyncML is supported by more than 1.5 billion devices in the market, it is limited in delivering email.
Adding IMAP functionality allows Mobile Gateway to deliver push email to millions of mobile devices without requiring additional client software. Email-to-SMS functionality completes the picture by allowing email to be offered even on the most basic phones. This unique combination allows Mobile Gateway to provide support for the widest range of mobile device in the market of today and tomorrow.
To make a mobile product offering successful, a simple setup user experience is critical for rapid adoption of a service. Mobile Gateway supports the OMA Client Provisioning (OMA CP) standard for device configuration which, with a simple click of a button, will send all the required service settings to the mobile device.
