As the Mitel (News - Alert) Mobile Service can be seamlessly integrated with its communications software or the SIP trunk service, a single number solution will be available for all business communications.


 Organizations will have the option to choose between BlackBerry Curve8530 or BlackBerry Bold 9650 smartphones and can also avail of the Enterprise server licenses and allow its mobile users access to Mitel Unified communications apps.
