With the recent popularity in the smartphone market – and with companies like Dell releasing new smartphone devices – mobile device manufacturers and software companies need to stay on top of the competition if they want to make it in this aggressive market. 

Samsung (News - Alert) Telecommunications America, a mobile phone provider, and Agito Networks, Inc., an innovative systems provider in enterprise mobility, announced the first commercially available server-based enterprise fixed mobile convergence, or “eFMC,” and mobile unified communications, or “UC,” system with functionality on Samsung smartphones. 

With Samsung’s powerful portfolio of smartphone devices, the new eFMC and UC systems are a complimentary asset to the popular mobile devices in the smart market. 

Agito Networks’ (News - Alert) RoamAnywhere Mobility Router system is a mobile UC product, built for businesses to mobilize enterprise voice and UC applications to increase mobile worker productivity while reducing costs. 

“Agito Networks has a proven enterprise FMC and Mobile UC solution, and we are pleased that Agito is making this mobile UC functionality available to Samsung’s growing enterprise user base,” Gavin Kim, vice president, content and data services and enterprise enablement for Samsung Mobile, said.

Having the only shipping mobile UC system for both GSM- and CDMA-based smartphones, Agito Networks’ enabled support is available for a variety of Samsung smartphones including the Samsung Propel Pro, Jack, Epix, Saga, Omnia and the Intrepid. 

 “We can see how Agito’s technology can help Samsung Mobile customers save money by reducing their mobile costs, while improving productivity with mobile UC and PBX (News - Alert) capabilities available at their fingertips on their Samsung device, wherever they are,” Kim said. 

With Samsung’s broad community of users, the new Agito Networks mobile UC system will be exposed to a large customer base, which is beneficial for the company looking to expand their operations. 

According to Pejman Roshan (News - Alert), Agito Networks chief marketing officer, Samsung’s Windows Mobile phones are exceptional tools for enterprises with a mobile workforce, both inside and outside the office. 

In turn, Agito Network’s ability to add to the number of CDMA devices it has supported since April advanced their portfolio and, with the collaboration with Samsung, adds to their consumer market.
