 Wireless Data Solutions, the global leader in competitive edge messaging and transaction solutions, announced the world's first true Unified Communications The real time redirection of a voice, text or e-mail message to the device closest to the intended recipient at any given time. For example, voice calls to desk phones could be routed to the user's cellphone when required.  solution, completing the integration of the uOne software platform that was acquired from Cisco Systems “Cisco” redirects here. For other uses, see Cisco (disambiguation).
Cisco System,Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO, HKSE: 4333 ) is an American multinational corporation with 54,000 employees and annual revenue of US $28.48 billion as of 2006.
 in July 2001. The complete uOne functionality has been integrated in CMG's Unified Communications solution, marrying the IP-based voice capabilities of uOne with the proven notification, wireless messaging and high throughput delivery strengths of CMG's IP-based Unified Messaging Having access to e-mail, voice mail and faxes via a common computer application or by telephone. For example, unified messaging may send faxes and digitized voice mail to a mail server that turns them into e-mail attachments. . The result is the world's first true, completely IP-based, Unified Communications (UC) solution that consolidates fixed and mobile voice, voicemail, e-mail and fax in a single environment, independent of location, time or device. The first customer to sign up for CMG's complete Unified Communications solution is Hutchison 3G where implementation is already underway.

CMG's main added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added. Used as a measure of shareholder value, calculated using the formula:

Added Value = Sales - Purchases - Labour Costs - Capital Costs
 is that it combines Voice and Data, which will result in an increased ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) A calculation often used to determine the overall value of an application. It is also used to rate particular customers, especially in the wireless space, by comparing someone's account to the overall average. . Operators will be able to offer premium services to the mass market using CMG's Unified Communications. CMG's UC solutions provides advanced unified multimedia messaging and communications, including voice, fax and e-mail across multiple types of networks and devices layered with real-time call management capabilities. The technology delivers capabilities such as text-to-speech conversion, voice recognition and XML based voice portals, which will be essential in the new 3G/UMTS networks being planned and built, but which also have application in current 2G and 2.5G networks. They can therefore contribute to a network operator's revenues and profits throughout the migration from 2G to 3G.

"Unified Communication takes an important position within our product portfolio and offers strong synergies in Mobile Internet Refers to gaining access to the Internet using a lightweight, handheld device. See Mobile IP, PDA, smartphone and mobile TV. . The solution offers a single unified mailbox in which messages, such as MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) An enhanced transmission service that enables graphics, video clips and sound files to be transmitted via cellphones. Developed as part of the 3GPP project, MMS phones are generally backward compatible with SMS and EMS. , voicemail and e-mail are stored for later retrieval. This offers new service opportunities for wireless service providers next to the existing store-and-forward model of SMS (1) (Storage Management System) Software used to routinely back up and archive files.

 and MMS and the closed character of current voicemail services. Our Unified Communications system offers real time communication capabilities such as call screening and find me. This puts the user in the drivers seat controlling where, how and when he receives information and enabling him to access it anyway he chooses", says Peter Broekroelofs, Director Product Marketing Mobile Internet, CMG Wireless Data Solutions.

Keep connected with your customers

Ovum's report on next generation messaging (December 2001) advises operators "to use UC to retain your most valuable customers..." Ovum also predicted that by the year 2006, there will be 201 million active UC subscribers world-wide, generating $22 billion in UC service revenue. CMG will help mobile carriers take advantage of this market opportunity through their end-to-end UC solution that provides true mobility to end-users.

"Convergence of voice and data services is a clear trend. In the mobile environment, it is driven by the evolution of 2.5/3G, whereas in the fixed environment bundled services, such as DSL DSL

It gives complete control of the communication to the receiving user and offers compelling value to fixed and mobile users.
