Oki Electric and KDDI Team-Up to Deploy Mobile Solutions for Enterprises; Collaboration Based on KDDI's Wireless LAN Business Handset, E02SA.TOKYO -- Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd. (TOKYO:6703) and KDDI Corporation (TOKYO:9433) today announced an agreement to collaborate in providing mobile solutions for the enterprise market using E02SA, KDDI's "au" mobile phone equipped with wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area functionality. Based on this agreement, Oki will provide mobile solutions for enterprises in Japan, starting October 2006. Private IP Centrex A telephone service in which an IP-based PBX is located in the telephone company's facilities. It connects to the customer via the LAN rather than by telephone wires. IP CENTREX offers voice over IP and other IP-based services as well as connectivity to the regular telephone system (PSTN). (1) systems are becoming popular among Japanese enterprises, with a high interest in wireless LAN-based mobile Centrex(2) systems. Oki has been providing its IP telephony The two-way transmission of voice over a packet-switched IP network, which is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. The terms "IP telephony" and "voice over IP" (VoIP) are synonymous. server, the IP CONVERGENCE Using the Internet Protocol (IP) as the standard transport for transmitting all information (voice, data, music, video, TV, teleconferencing, etc.). See IP, IP on Everything and IP Multimedia Subsystem. (R) Server SS9100 to enterprise customers for their IP Centrex and mobile Centrex systems. By including KDDI's E02SA into its lineup A criminal investigation technique in which the police arrange a number of individuals in a row before a witness to a crime and ask the witness to identify which, if any, of the individuals committed the crime. , enterprise users will now be able to seamlessly connect to PSTNs (mobile phone networks) and private networks (LANs) using a single handset The part of the telephone that contains the speaker and the microphone. On a desktop phone, the part you hold in your hand is the handset. On a cellphone, the entire phone is the handset. See multihandset cordless and headset. , which will flexibly provide various enterprise needs. KDDI's E02SA, planned for launch in July 2006, enables enterprise users to build an efficient network with a single handset, as it functions as a VoIP extension phone equipped with wireless LAN in the office, as well as an "au" mobile phone outside the office. E02SA is compliant with IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.1b, the wireless LAN standard, as well as with IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11e for the quality of service (QoS) control function in the wireless area, thus enabling high-speed and high voice quality. In addition to its SS9100, Oki also provides MWINS(R) BR2100 Series, a wireless LAN access point for VoIP, which is compliant with E02SA's wireless LAN standards. By connecting MWINS with E02SA, users can achieve a high voice quality and an affordable communication environment. Going forward, KDDI and Oki will jointly provide mobile solutions using E02SA handsets, which will give enterprises a cost-effective means of achieving various IT strategies. The two companies will work to create value-added services A value-added service (VAS) is a telecommunications industry term for non-core services or, in short, all services beyond standard voice calls and fax transmissions. that enable innovation in many business environments, which will help enhance their customers' competitive edge and improve their business efficiency. (1) Private IP Centrex : This is a form of IP telephony that integrates voice communication onto IP networks and centralizes PBXs that were conventionally installed at each location into one location for easier management and operation. This enables customers to significantly reduce operating costs, maximize the usage of existing equipment, and connect with internal business applications. (2) Mobile Centrex: This is a private IP Centrex using mobile IP handsets. By using mobile terminals, users will not be limited to their seats or locations, providing a new type of work style.
