Businesses Cut Carbon Footprints through Tango Networks

Environmental researchers are reporting that mobile phones have the largest carbon footprint among all categories of information technology devices, surpassing desktop and laptop computers and displays. Carbon footprint auditing is an increasingly common focus of corporate facilities and operations management and sustainability practices.

Companies worldwide have pledged to reduce their carbon footprints and Tango Networks is enabling companies do it by consolidating business communications on smartphones and eliminating redundant phones through its Mobile-X Extend service.

Tango Extend is a service that embeds a full-featured business line in a mobile phone that requires no apps or training to use. The mobile native solution enables employees to carry the equivalent of a desk phone with them anywhere.

The service turns a SIM in a multi-SIM phone into a business line. This allows employees to use personal bring-your-own-device phones for business with full integration into their company’s unified communications.

“Today’s hybrid work environments and work-from-anywhere world call for simplifying and converging business communications,” said Andrew Bale, Tango Networks executive vice president. “Tango Extend turns personal mobile phones into business extensions so companies can cut the cord and go ‘mobile only.’ Not only does this bring huge productivity and efficiency gains, it allows companies to eliminate unneeded phones.”

Adding a business-controlled extension to an existing phone in minutes, creating dual user personas for business and personal use, the solution is bringing fully integrated business communications to mobile employees, deskless workers and frontline workers such as delivery and in-home service personnel.
