Telkomsel launches office solution

JAKARTA: Mobile telecommunications operator PT Telkomsel,
together with mobile phone producer Motorola and software company
Microsoft, launched on Wednesday an integrated mobile office
solution for its corporate customers.

Called "Windows on Telkomsel", the mobile office solution will
enable customers to access their companies' intranets for data
synchronization and email and internet services through their
mobile phones, just like they would through their office desktop
computers.

"We plan to virtually move the desktop to the road and create
a convenient mobile office environment for our customers," said
Telkomsel's vice president of sales, Yuen Kuan Moon.

The solution uses Motorola's latest MPx200 mobile phone, which
runs on Microsoft's Mobile Windows, a streamlined version of
Microsoft's popular Windows operating system especially built for
embedded devices, including mobile phones.

Data communication for the solution itself will use
Telkomsel's General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) technology, which
is already implemented in 80 percent of the company's Global
System for Mobile (GSM) communications network, and which is
currently rated at Rp 25 (0.3 US cents) per kilobyte. -- JP
