Mitel releases Unified Communicator Advanced 3.1

High adoption spurs further solution enhancements.

Johannesburg, 29 Apr 2010

Mitel has released version 3.1 of its Unified Communicator (UC) Advanced solution. This will allow users single-portal access to all collaboration tools, including desk phone, soft phone, mobile devices, visual voice mail, secure instant messaging, presence, audio and Web conferencing, desktop video conferencing, document sharing, and e-mail. Mitel is a provider of unified communications software solutions.

Mitel is offering three key enhancements to UC Advanced: Web and mobile portal improvements, a new dynamic location client application available for BlackBerry smartphones, and the offering of UC Advanced as a server appliance.

“With the continued demand for road and corridor warrior applications, UC Advanced Web and Mobile Portals have been enhanced to allow the user to work independently of the PC client,” said Andy Bull, director for Mitel South Africa.

He said UC Advanced Web and Mobile Portals continue to allow the user to view corporate contacts and user and device presence information, view call history and voice mail message details, and download and play voice mail messages from the Web browser.

UC Advanced Dynamic Location, available for BlackBerry smartphones, allows the user to define the GPS locations to associate with each Dynamic Status, and changes Dynamic Status based on GPS location or by manual selection. Mitel's innovative development allows for GPS location capabilities with minimal drain on device batteries.

Additionally, by making UC Advanced available as a server appliance pre-installed with Mitel Standard Linux, Mitel provides a low overhead, easily deployed solution for businesses of all sizes.

With a single interface and capabilities that enable mobility, integration, and efficiency from a single launching point, the solution plays a critical role for businesses seeking to collaborate with employees, partners, and customers.

"Collaboration is a growing business challenge in today's global environment. As device sophistication and functionality grow, so does the need to manage them through a single interface. These enhancements to Unified Communicator Advanced meet the growing need for innovative collaboration solutions, and the consistent sales prove once again that Mitel has solved the problem of what enterprises need and continues to show how Mitel leads the way in innovation and feature richness,” said Bull.
