Vivek Khuller, DiVitas Networks, with Bob Emmerson
Vivek Khuller is the President, CEO and founder of DiVitas Networks. Vivek starts with an explanation of the term “mobile to mobile”, which is used to describe the company’s innovative FMC convergence solution. It is used to underline the importance of wireless ways of working and the multiplicity of networks that are available to mobile professionals. The solution is access agnostic, i.e. it works with existing WLAN infrastructures as well as GSM and CDMA cellular networks. In fact, when dual-mode phones are used it will even enable wireless VoIP over WLANs that have not been engineered for voice.
Key features, which Vivek says are not found in regular FMC solutions, include easy, secure access to business applications as well as the ability to interface with both TDM and IP PBXs. In addition the convergence appliance can be used as an independent softswitch, so the solution is idea for SMBs and the branch offices of large enterprises. And while dual-mode devices are required in order to employ the full feature set, the solution also works well on 2.5G mobiles. The client software is available for Linux, Windows Mobile and Symbian operating systems.
In a nutshell, the DiVitas mobile to mobile solution gives companies and end users maximum flexibility: a wide range of mobile devices that can access business apps over any Wi-Fi or cellular network and interoperate with any PBX.
