Gaithersburg, MD-based VoIP application software provider BroadSoft today launched the BroadWorks Assistant - Mobile, a new mobile application that hands the control of VoIP features with smartphones, standard mobile handsets and IP deskphones over to enterprise managers, all integrated into one system. The application is for everyday users of Nokia (News - Alert) Eseries handsets.

The offering features Simultaneous Ring, Call Forward All, Call Forward No Answer, Do Not Disturb and Remote Office. The application will enable users to place calls from mobile handsets, appearing as if the calls originate from the office; access corporate and personal directories; view call logs, including calls missed when the handset is off (not usually available with regular cell phones); receive enterprise voicemail notifications on mobile phones; and create international profiles.

“With BroadWorks Assistant - Mobile, service providers get an FMC application that complements their other BroadSoft (News - Alert) offerings, such as Hosted PBX (News - Alert) and Business Trunking,” said BroadSoft’s vice president of products David Bukovsky in a statement. “For wireless service providers, Assistant - Mobile enhances their BroadWorks Mobile PBX offering by giving enterprise users the ability to manage their VoIP features, view call logs and access directories from their handsets. With the Nokia Eseries integration, this new solution addresses a real telecommunications need identified by enterprises.”

BroadWorks Assistant - Mobile supports the Symbian-based S60 software platform and the following Nokia mobile devices: E50, E60, E61, E62 and E70. The application will be available next month.

Today’s news follows BroadSoft’s announcement about it opening a European operations center in Belfast, Ireland with support from Invest Northern Ireland earlier this month.

The company currently operates sales offices in London, Bonn and Paris, and has representatives in Stockholm and Madrid. The new BroadSoft European Operations Center is located at the Northern Ireland Science Park in Belfast, and will expand the company's capabilities to provide technical support, service and training to its European customers.
