Nokia, Siemens in enterprise FMC deal
Not to confuse matters, but Nokia and Siemens have another, unrelated deal in the works. Siemens Communications–the enterprise part of Siemens that’s staying (for now) with the parent company–is working with Nokia’s enterprise business on a fixed-mobile convergence agreement. The idea is that Nokia’s dual-mode E series phones will be able to work with Siemens Hi-Path Mobile Connect Solution to hand off calls as necessary between WiFi networks and the cellular network. The companies were hinting about this broadly at last week’s VoiceCon; this week came the official announcement.
