Fg's client is presently active in Nokia's E series smartphones. "The availability of a VCC client for market leading enterprise phones is an exciting new addition to the NewStep convergence solution, and helps drive enterprises to deploy fixed-mobile convergence solutions," said Craig Gosselin, NewStep's chief marketing officer. NewStep currently offers its patented, carrier-class CSN server-based software platform in two versions--the CSN30 for enterprises and small carriers, and the CSN1000 for large carriers. Both platforms converge services across diverse networks to enable subscribers to have a single number, single voicemail, simultaneous ringing across multiple phones and other features like corporate extension dialing, from a single handset. "fg microtec compliments NewStep's innovative technology with a client solution that puts the power of convergence in the hands of the enterprise user," said Robert Mirbaha, CEO of fg microtec. "With the NewStep-fg microtec solution, enterprises can reduce costs and increase productivity for their users and fully leverage the value of service convergence." NewStep Networks, a provider of fixed-mobile convergence solutions based on its patented CSN platform, will be at NXTcomm07 in Chicago.
