Avaya Unveils New Wireless IP Telephony Products For Converged
Mobility Throughout - and Beyond - an Enterprise

* New Voice-over-Wireless Gateway and Access Points Are Key Components
of
Converged Mobility Solution Delivering Seamless Communications Across
Private
WLANs and Public Cellular Networks
* New Avaya Converged Mobility Products Drive Increased Security,
Reliability
and Voice Quality in Enterprise Wireless Communications
BASKING RIDGE, N.J., July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Avaya
(NYSE:AV), a
leading global provider of business communications software, systems
and
services, today unveiled new converged mobility products that help
extend the
key advantages of office communications to employees traveling
throughout -
and beyond - an enterprise. These products play a critical role in the
converged Wi-Fi and cellular solution architecture Avaya is developing
with
Motorola and Proxim. Avaya's new products seamlessly extend IP
telephony - a
software-based technology that uses voice over Internet protocol
(VoIP) to
transmit voice over a data network - to wireless networks. The new
products
are designed to improve the delivery of IP applications and voice
communications for a mobile workforce, driving enhanced productivity,
new cost
efficiencies and greater security in enterprise wireless
communications.
The new products -- the Avaya W310 WLAN Gateway and Avaya W110 WLAN
Access
Points -- incorporate co-developed technologies from Avaya and Proxim.
The
gateway and access points, along with Avaya's award-winning IP
telephony
software, Communication Manager, deliver a voice over wireless LAN
(VoWLAN)
solution that will support the Motorola CN620, a new dual-network
Mobile
Office Device announced today by Motorola. Avaya has been
collaborating with
Motorola and Proxim on the creation of an enterprise seamless mobility
solution, which supports continuous communications to users across
business
wireless networks and public cellular networks.
This enterprise seamless mobility solution helps organizations boost
productivity by enabling employees to use the Motorola dual-network
device to
conduct wireless conversations that will not fade or drop as they move
to
various locations throughout a work campus, as well as away from their
office
building. Users of the enterprise mobility solution will also have
seamless
access to advanced IP capabilities, such as listening to e-mail,
accessing
corporate directories and overseeing multi-party teleconferences, as
they move
across a WLAN and onto public cellular networks.
Seamless mobility can also drive greater cost-efficiency for
enterprises
through device consolidation and centralized management of an
organization's
WLAN infrastructure. For example, highly mobile employees who switch
between
office phones, cell phones or other devices for communications can now
use one
Motorola dual-network device to make VoIP-based calls as they travel
within an
enterprise or to an outside destination. The Avaya W310 Wireless LAN
Gateway
and W110 Access Points also let information technology (IT)
administrators
centrally manage and monitor an enterprise's wireless networking
capabilities
from one location, resulting in lower labor and administration costs.
