TCS launches BlackBerry 7250.

TeleCommunication Systems, a leader in mission critical wireless data has announced an agreement with Research In Motion to bring the BlackBerry 7250 Wireless Handheld to TCS customers in the United States.

With BlackBerry, mobile professionals maintain wireless connectivity to a full suite of applications including email, phone, enterprise data, Internet, text messaging and organizer applications while on the go.

The BlackBerry 7250 features Bluetooth support for hands-free use with headset or car kit, a bright full color screen, 32MB of flash memory and full HTML Web browsing. The ergonomic and lightweight handheld allows users to manage their information and stay connected via a single, integrated device.

With the addition of the BlackBerry 7250, TCS furthers its position as a one-stop-shop for decision makers to provision their internal customers with wireless voice and data network access, wireless devices, ancillary applications, and professional services to create a comprehensive, "wireless desktop" experience for mobile professionals.

Gregg Smith, Senior Vice President of the Enterprise Division for TCS said, "We value our long-standing business relationship with RIM. By adding the ability to offer voice service in addition to data service, TCS is positioned to rapidly expand our mobile office portfolio, and RIM's products and services are key components for TCS' continued growth."

"TCS is an experienced and trusted BlackBerry provider and we are pleased that TCS is expanding its offering to include the BlackBerry 7250," said Mark Guibert, Vice President, Corporate Marketing at Research In Motion. "The BlackBerry 7250 combines phone, email and data applications in a single device and provides an optimized mobile experience."

BlackBerry from TCS keeps workforces connected to voice transmission, e-mail, contact information, and other enterprise data. Dedicated customer service and 24/7 technical support is also available from TCS, as well as add-on applications for easy access to information such as paging, Internet browsing, and document management. TCS also offers customized solutions for specific major markets including healthcare, financial services, transportation/logistics, and government.

For corporate customers, BlackBerry Enterprise Server software tightly integrates with Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and Novell GroupWise and works with existing enterprise systems to enable secure, push-based, wireless access to email and other corporate data.

For individuals and smaller businesses, BlackBerry Internet Service allows users to access up to ten corporate and/or personal email accounts (including Microsoft Exchange, IBM Lotus Domino and many popular ISP email accounts) from a single device.
