JP Mobile and Cincinnati Bell Partner

Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE:CBB) announced the introduction of an array of wireless devices that allow on-the-go business professionals to seamlessly connect wirelessly. Cincinnati Bell's Mobile Office with JP Mobile SureWave Enterprise Server (SES) brings a suite of services to the mobile professional that encompasses voice tools, Internet/Intranet access, personal information management, email and other customized solutions to the latest devices. Business customers can select the Treo 600 smartphone from palmOne, Blackberry 7210 or Nokia 3600 devices based on the needs of their employees to efficiently access email and corporate data, receive on-demand information and make voice calls.



"Our business customers have some common needs for their mobile workers that include affordable and consistent access to email, and their corporate intranet - but they enjoy choice when it comes to operating system, functionality, and device form factor," said Dave Korb, vice president and general manager for business markets at Cincinnati Bell. "We're working with a number of trusted manufacturers and Enterprise Mobility Software vendors to help the mobile professional get increased utility and efficiency from full-featured device options that further duplicate the office environment."

"JP Mobile's SureWave Enterprise Server is the only, wireless, push email and PIM solution that supports Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and Novell Group Wise as well as a wide variety of mobile devices," said Dayakar Puskoor, CEO of JP Mobile. "What this means is that Cincinnati Bell can now provide its business customers with a 100 percent behind-the-firewall solution with an additional benefit of not having to train their support teams for each of the messaging platforms."


"The acceptance and demand for the Treo(TM) 600 has been tremendous because it provides customers true business mobility with a device that fits as easily in their pockets as it does in their lives," said Joe Fabris, director of wireless marketing for palmOne. "It's great to see a quality carrier like Cincinnati Bell deliver a complete mobile solution to its business customers to enable them to access critical information while on the road."
