SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the No.1 mobile phone
provider in the U.S.1, and DiVitas Networks, a leader in Mobile Unified
Communications (Mobile UC), have announced the availability of the DiVitas
Mobile UC solution on Samsung smartphones based on the Microsoft Windows Mobile
platform. 

This is the first commercially available Mobile UC solution on Samsung
smartphones for both CPE-based and hosted deployments. This announcement comes
two months after Samsung and DiVitas announced that they had collaborated to
Advance Samsung`s Software Developer Kit for Mobile UC. 

A key feature of the DiVitas Mobile UC Client on the Samsung smartphones is the
ability to mobilize and combine Business Voice and IM with social networking
(Mobile Presence and Status). The business benefit to this collaborative-rich
environment is enabling colleagues to connect on first try, stay connected and
stay engaged. 

Available today, the DiVitas Mobile UC solution has been seamlessly integrated
with Samsung Mobile`s broad portfolio of smartphones operating on both CDMA and
GSM wireless networks, including the Samsung Omnia, Samsung Epix and Samsung
Saga. 

"The DiVitas Mobile UC solution is a prime example of how Samsung Mobile is
collaborating with other proven innovators to strengthen our efficient and
flexible offerings to enterprise businesses and users," said Gavin Kim, vice
president, Content, Data Services and Enterprise Mobility, Samsung Mobile.
"Businesses and their workforces look to smartphones to stay connected and
productive while out of the office. The DiVitas solution, integrated with
Samsung Mobile devices, raises the bar even higher by merging the landline desk
phone connection with the mobile smartphone user and mobilizing UC capabilities
to ensure user productivity and collaboration." 

"Providing our customers with a best of breed Mobile UC solution requires
cooperation from closely related technology providers that are far bigger than
DiVitas," said Vivek Khuller, President and CEO of DiVitas Networks. "I have
been personally impressed by how aggressively the Samsung team has executed on
this alliance. It is clear to me that this is a company that is 100% committed
to becoming a leading voice in the enterprise mobility space, and I am pleased
to be standing beside them." 

Samsung Mobile is a leader among Windows Mobile device providers in bringing
solutions to market to address customer needs for fixed mobile convergence and
unified communications. 

During CTIA WIRELESS IT & Entertainment 2009, Samsung Mobile will unveil a
public demonstration of the DiVitas Mobile UC solution on Samsung Mobile
smartphones at the Samsung Mobile booth -- No. 635.
