- As broadband wireless access technologies such as the Universal
Mobile Telephony System (UMTS) - better known as 3G, WiMAX and
Orthogonal Frequency Multiplex Division (OFDM) help drive the ICT
industry closer to true convergence, Siemens Communications has
demonstrated a clear vision for the future progression of communication
systems with the development of its LifeWorks@Com strategy.
Dr Jan Mrosik,
CEO of Siemens Communications, says this concept helps demonstrate how
organisations of any size can apply next-generation technologies to
enhance business processes, better integrate mobile workers and improve
productivity.
"The LifeWorks@Com concept seamlessly
integrates wireline, wireless and enterprise as well as public domain
to offer an unmatched, unified communications experience," says Mrosik,
adding that this concept includes premise-based enterprise
communications systems, managed services and subscription services from
network operators, as well as fixed and mobile networks.
"In
a converged world, companies with a limited portfolio have a restricted
vision and a reduced value proposition," he says. "However, the broad
portfolio and all inclusive vision embodied in the LifeWorks@Com
concept harmonises our portfolio and guides our strategy, bringing
Siemens Communications' full value to users, carriers and enterprises.
"He
says there is a three-pronged strategy aimed at improving and
simplifying such converged communications. Firstly, Siemens makes life
easier for the user, with easy-to-use, multifunctional devices that
provide universal access to services and applications. |
