Deutsche Telekom has unveiled new converged service for enterprise customers in Germany, called DeutschlandLAN, based on the Ericsson Business Communication Suite (BCS). The company plans to launch the new service in April 2010.
According to Ericsson, BCS consists of IP telephony, mobility, collaboration and multimedia conferencing applications for smart phones, PCs and IP-based desktop phones.
In addition, BCS enables instant team communication in virtual meeting rooms for video conferencing, document sharing or presentations creating dynamic collaboration within the company or interaction with people outside the company boundaries.
Ericsson said that the BCS is 3GPP IMS compliant and it serves 250,000 subscribers and can be extended if required. Based on open standards, and bundled with other operator network capabilities, BCS provides operators with a baseline for ‘one stop shop’ offering towards the enterprise segment.
Jan Wareby, head of business unit multimedia at Ericsson, said: Users want to be able to work wherever they are and not be limited to a desk at their office. Ericsson Business Communication Suite can do that for them and Deutsche Telekom is one of the first operators worldwide to make use of it by introducing DeutschlandLAN.”
