Alice Systems helps Orange users access 3G data services

September 16, 2004

Alice Systems has worked with Orange UK to develop the software for the Orange 3G Mobile Office Card. The 3G Mobile Office Card will make it easy for Orange UK subscribers to access data services such as the Internet, company intranets and e-mail across the 3G and GPRS mobile networks provided by Orange. The easy to use software interface will provide customers with one click access to wireless working.

The Mobile Office Card software is based on the Alice Systems' Client Manager solution. The Mobile Office Card solution enables the user to establish a data connection to the Internet, company intranet, and e-mail the simplest possible way, i.e. with one single click. The solution can automatically select the highest speed data transmission service available in the area providing customers with an easy way to mobile work without having to worry about finding the fastest network. The software also allows sending and receiving SMS, maintaining a telephone address book, and viewing data traffic statistics.

"The 3G Mobile Office Card from Orange provides customers with a simple, efficient solution for mobile working. The 'one-click' functionality provides customers with access to the fastest network available in their area, meaning they can get on with work without having to worry about the data network" says Clive Richardson, head of product development, Business Solutions Orange.

"As the solution provider and implementation partner of the Orange Mobile Office project we see an increasing market need for client manager solutions like the Mobile Office Card. Until now, the challenge for the user has been to succeed in actually connecting to the Internet or company intranet. With the growing number of devices, bearers, and connection methods the user experience becomes increasingly complex. For the mobile operator this complex environment has historically been a constraint preventing users from connecting to their data services," says Anders Gymnander, CEO, Alice Systems AB.
