BERLIN, Germany and ESPOO, Finland, May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Fujitsu Services Oy has chosen Nokia Local Business Connectivity Solution to
Fujitsu's mobility solutions portfolio. Nokia Local Business Connectivity
Solution connects company's Nokia Series 60 and Series 80 smartphones with IT
services through local radio network, utilizing WLAN (Wireless Local Area
Network) and Bluetooth. This unique local connectivity solution enables the
enterprise mobile device management and transaction automation in a cost
efficient way.
    The Nokia Local Business Connectivity Solution offers a new way to
recognize, authenticate and authorize employees' mobile devices when they
arrive in the Nokia Local Business Connectivity Solution coverage area. The
mobile services available for the employees are centrally managed by Fujitsu,
and the services assigned to the employee are then delivered to the mobile
device in a secure, automated way.
    "The Nokia Local Business Connectivity solution has made it possible to
implement high volume mobile applications, that may not be feasible to
implement in another way today. The Nokia Local Business Connectivity
Solution is used by Fujitsu, included in the Fujitsu mobile office product
offering, and deliveries to first key international customers have already
started," says Juha Korsimaa, Development Manager, Fujitsu Services Oy.
    "Work goes mobile, and not only personal information management, but
existing and tailored corporate applications as well. Furthermore, new
context aware services -based on time, location, device status, and user
preference- can also be created," says Jouni Malinen, Venture Manager, Nokia
Ventures Organization. "To ease this evolution, Nokia Local Business
Connectivity Solution provides a fast, secure and seamless way to mobilize
the business processes in an economical manner."
    Mobilizing any new or existing corporate application is made possible via
the Application Programming Interface open for integrator partners. Bringing
the transaction automation and context awareness to these applications can
increase efficiency and end user satisfaction even more than just by making
the application accessible via mobile. The Nokia Local Business Connectivity
Solution not only complements the cellular solutions but also expands the
potential user segments.
