Apple’s ultimate gadget will fit
for any kind of users, as Synchronica PLC will now make sure of their safely
accessing corporate emails through the company’s Mobile Gateway 3.0, which
supports over-the-air synchronization between Microsoft Exchange and iPhone
mobile.
Mobile Gateway seamlessly integrates with the corporate IT
infrastructure and does not require the enterprise to expose IMAP and SMTP in
their Exchange servers or install additional connectors - issues that often
raise security concerns with IT administrator.
In order to retrieve e-mails form the corporate Exchange server,
Synchronica’s Mobile Gateway uses Microsoft's secure Outlook Web Access (OWA),
a service used by the companies to provide users with access from home or while
traveling.
Afterwards Mobile Gateway 3.0 delivers emails directly to
the built-in email client of the Apple iPhone. Beside iPhone, Mobile Gateway 3.0
enables synchronization with a wide range of smartphones from Nokia, Sony
Ericsson and other phone makers.
"The iPhone is a very attractive smartphone, appealing
to both the consumer and prosumer market. However, IT Managers are not going to
permit their executives to synchronize a device that requires them to punch
holes in the corporate firewall. Mobile Gateway already supports
synchronization with Microsoft Exchange, but does not require firewall
modification or any software to be installed in the corporate network, so this
won't be an issue. From a carrier's perspective, we are significantly expanding
the reach of the iPhone into the business user and prosumer segments." explained
Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica.
iPhone was launched on June 29th and, according to some
estimates, Apple sold close to 500.00 units in the first three days, though the
company didn’t released any official data. Apple’s boss Steve Jobs said he
hopes to sell 10 million iPhones until 2008.
