Service providers need to offer value-added services as they evolve from today's wireless network to tomorrow's converged network. Realising this, Sun Microsystems has announced two new wireless consulting practices, as part of its new comprehensive wireless service portfolio for service providers.
The new consulting practices, customer training and support services are designed to help service providers, network equipment providers (NEPs), and wireless consumer device manufacturers accelerate revenue, facilitate faster deployment and ensure an integrated solution for Sun's wireless products and technologies.
"Sun leads the industry in assessing, designing, implementing and deploying wireless infrastructure platforms," says Willem Coetsee, sales manager telecomms at Sun Microsystems in South Africa.
"While the wireless market in South Africa has not matured to the same extent as Europe or the US, we expect to deliver this in increasing numbers as more and more corporations deploy the technology. Sun is being implemented as the platform of choice for wireless connectivity and we believe this strategy bodes well for the future.
"Our new consulting practices, support services and expanded wireless learning suite enable service providers and wireless application developers to better utilise wireless technologies to create and manage their wireless Internet services. We're helping our wireless customers deliver Sun's vision of anyone, anytime, anywhere, on any device," says Coetsee.
Investing in wireless solutions enables Sun to offer technology consulting services for service providers and portals targeting the wireless services market.
Services now available on a custom quote basis include: Wireless SP Inception; Multi-Channel Delivery Strategy; Wireless SP Architecture Design; Wireless SP Implementation and Deployment; and Wireless SP Technical Strategy.
Sun's consulting practice solutions also include the new Java Pervasive Technologies practice that offers services around multi-channel applications using Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) and Java Card technologies for wireless, limited connection and LAN-based solution access.
