DiVitas, Samsung to advance SDK for mobile unified communications

MOUNTAIN VIEW, USA: DiVitas Networks, a leader in Mobile Unified Communications (Mobile UC), and Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., a leading mobile phone provider, announced today that they, with support from Microsoft, have successfully worked to enable Enterprise-class fixed mobile convergence and unified communication on Samsung phones based on the Microsoft Windows Mobile platform.

With the July 27 release of Samsung Mobile Innovator’s Software Developer Kit (SDK) version 1.2.0, Samsung and DiVitas have collaborated to enhance the mobile unified communications experience on the Samsung phones with Windows Mobile.

Samsung is a leader among Windows Mobile device manufacturers in bringing solutions to market to address customer needs for fixed mobile convergence and unified communications. Together, DiVitas and Samsung defined the requirements for the API that Samsung developed for current beta testing.

The API will enable the DiVitas Mobile UC solution on the latest Samsung Windows Mobile smartphones available globally for both GSM and CDMA networks. These devices include the Samsung Epix, Samsung Saga, Samsung Jack and the Samsung Omnia (CDMA) in the US and the Samsung Omnia (GSM) globally.

"We asked DiVitas to join as a core member of the Samsung Mobile Innovator program because of their expertise in the field of Mobile Unified Communications," said Martin Tannerfors, Director for Samsung Mobile Innovator. "Collaborating with core members like DiVitas to meet the precise needs of our ecosystem is a key component of the Samsung Mobile Innovator Program."

“We are committed to working with our partners to create richer experiences for Windows Mobile customers,” said Stephanie Ferguson, general manager of product management, Microsoft. “The Samsung Mobile Innovator’s Software Developer Kit is a great example of how partners can innovate and add value to customers when working with a powerful, enterprise-ready platform like Windows Mobile.”

“DiVitas is very excited to be working with Samsung and Microsoft on this project,” said ATG Srinivas, VP of engineering for DiVitas Networks. “We have the knowledge and time tested deployment experience to assist Samsung in the requirements definition. This is a significant step towards enabling commercial Mobile UC products on Samsung Windows Mobile devices for both GSM and CDMA networks.”
