AT&T Carries MS Mobile Suite

REDMOND, Wash. -- Delivering on the strategic alliance formed between AT&T Wireless (NYSE: AWE) and Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) this past July, AT&T Wireless today launched a new MicrosoftR Mobile Workplace solution called AT&T Wireless WorkwareSM -- a suite of business solutions designed to provide seamless, wireless access to company e-mail, information and other applications behind corporate firewalls. In addition, the companies announced that HP Services will serve as the preferred systems integrator for this solution and they introduced the new Siemens SX56, a WindowsR Powered Pocket PC with integrated GSMT (Global System for Mobile Communications)/GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) voice and data calling capabilities, that is customized to support applications on AT&T Wireless' high-speed data network.

Designed to simplify and minimize the implementation efforts of corporate IT departments, AT&T Wireless WorkWare can be deployed across various devices - from laptops and Pocket PC phones today to additional Windows Powered mobile devices in the future. Both companies also said that mobile professionals could immediately begin using the new wireless features without having to learn new software protocols since they are fully integrated with familiar Microsoft applications. Furthermore, since these solutions are designed on the global standard of wireless technology, business customers can use these new wireless capabilities whether they are in Chicago or London.

"In today's business environment, mobile professionals must stay connected to their corporate information while away from the office," said Andre Dahan, president of AT&T Wireless Mobile Multimedia Services. "Together with Microsoft, we are offering a solution that dramatically simplifies the role of the IT department by delivering an easy to deploy, out-of-box solution. AT&T Wireless WorkWare, with its one button sync for laptops and over-the-air provisioning system for Pocket PC's, is designed to enhance the productivity of the business user while providing the control and cost benefits demanded by the IT department. AT&T Wireless WorkWare gives companies a simple, secure, and scalable solution to meet the growing needs of the enterprise market in today's mobile economy."

AT&T Wireless also introduced the Siemens SX56, a Windows Powered Pocket PC, which doubles as a phone. The Siemens SX56 is equipped with integrated GSMT (Global System for Mobile Communications)/GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) voice and data calling capabilities, along with a bright color screen, stylish form factor, a host of Microsoft applications, Web browser and digital media support.
