(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MILL VALLEY, CA, August 19 / MARKET WIRE/ --

CommuniGate Systems, the leader in
carrier-class Mobile Unified
Communications, transforms the new iPhone 3G into
a mega ARPU machine for broadband and mobile network operators with a
simple and efficient turnkey package. Network Operators looking for
solutions that attract the lucrative business subscribers will be pleased
to learn about the simple yet powerful technology that enables Unified
Communications (UC) to be rapidly deployed without requiring equipment on
the premises.

CommuniGate
Systems' Mobility Suite delivers native AirSync with
full over-the-Air push e-mail, calendar and contact information with
advanced security features. Business Subscribers can always stay in contact
with the office no matter where they are. AirSync can simply be snapped on
by the admin without the need to install any software on the iPhone.
Network Operators can leverage the CommuniGate Pro UC platform for a unique
Software as a
Service (SaaS) solution for the Small to Medium Enterprise (SME)
market.

There are two functions enabling the new iPhone 3G to synchronize localized
data for a wide range of services: firstly, the third generation of
wireless communication UMTS (3GSM) and
secondly, the built in standard of data synchronization called AirSync.
Business clients are now able to receive e-mails, contact and calendar
updates onto their iPhone over the Air via CommuniGate Pro's platform.
Further, users can access this same information simultaneously, regardless
if they are running on a Mac, a PC or on Linux with the CommuniGate Pronto!
Flash-based UC client.

"The iPhone has changed the mobile paradigm in a short amount of time from
being a 'phone' to becoming a 'mobile internet device.' We saw the demands
from business subscribers seeking out faster access speeds to broadband
services, especially in Europe where 3G is well entrenched. We also saw
that the support of Business Class Messaging was something to be desired in
the first generation iPhone. Now, Apple has delivered a solid platform that
Network Operators can leverage for new business subscriber revenue
potential. Providers are now able to offer a complete SaaS Unified
Communications service, bridging the iPhone to the desktop experience,"
said Jon R. Doyle, Vice President Business Development at CommuniGate
Systems.

"The one feature that all business subscribers demand is mobile
connectivity to Unified Communications. The mobile device is to become an
extension of the desktop with access to all business related information
services anytime and anywhere. Empowering 'over-the-Air' synchronization is
sine-qua-non for operators who want to win in the SaaS business," says
Ronald Gruia, Principal Telecom Analyst at Frost & Sullivan.

"SMEs are starting to become aware of the productivity wins that UC can
bring, like the ability to get 'stuff' done faster, get people more engaged
in real business scenarios and add genuine customer experience value.
That's what people want to do for their customers. So far they are
struggling with premise based installations of UC. Due to complex
technology and resources, SaaS will be the way to go," said Dr Simon
Edwards, Project Director, BT.

CommuniGate Pro is based upon a Multi-Tenant and a Dynamic Clustering
architecture providing a high density solution with live change management
features for SaaS providers. CommuniGate Pro makes it easy for service
providers to offer business class services with costs that decline as
virtualized client volume increases. CommuniGate Pro's Mobility Suite with

AirSync offers push services as well as a secure synchronization between
PIM (Personal Information Management) data, a mobile device and the
CommuniGate Pro Unified Communications platform. Access to the mobility
features can be established via mobile operator networks including 3G and
EDGE, and of course at the office or home on WiFi networks.

CommuniGate Pro's Mobility Suite works compatible with all Windows Mobile
based and ActiveSync capable devices including Apple's iPhone 3G, Symbian
OS capable mobile phones, DataViz devices that uses RoadSync, Sony Ericsson
P900, M600 and W950, Nokia E series, Motorola devices that use MOTOSYNC,
Palm 700 smart phone series, Treo 680, Treo 650, LifeDrive and Helio Ocean.
