Under this collaboration, Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite for Mirapoint can deliver email and calendar data to compatible mobile devices from a Mirapoint messaging solution.  Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite with Mirapoint’s messaging appliances is scalable to tens of thousands of users and provides business-grade wireless security.  With features such as remote device locking and remote data wipe, enterprises maintain control of their mobile devices in the event they are lost or stolen.  Because Mirapoint’s solution is appliance-based businesses benefit from best-of-breed security, reliability, and scalability.  In addition to mobile messaging, Mirapoint customers will also be able to turn on file and application synchronization features and full device management capabilities.  
 
According to Jaspal Kohli, CTO, Mirapoint, “As the workforce becomes more mobile, and mobile devices become smarter, it is logical that customers will want to extend their full enterprise messaging needs to that workforce.  This collaboration with Nokia enables Mirapoint customers to have a secure mobile solution.  Since Nokia Intellisync Mobile Suite supports many mobile devices, it gives our customers more choices at a lower cost.”
