At the 3GSM World Congress 2006, Barcelona, Spain, Nokia announces Avaya Communication Manager application for its series 80 smartphones – 9300/9300i and 9500 Communicator. This lets workers use a single mobile device that contains key functions usually found on a desktop business phone, and that keeps users easily accessible wherever they go. The capability provides businesses with a greater choice of business communication applications for mobile workers regardless of their location, access technology or communication device, enabling them to collaborate and respond rapidly to customers and colleagues. The Communication Manager application for the Series 80 complements Avaya’s existing support for the Nokia Series 60 smart phones.
Avaya was the first vendor to build and deploy enterprise fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) systems and applications which enable businesses to achieve more effective mobile communication.
