NWT and Nokia Team Up to Offer
Biz@nywhere Wireless Solutions to Executives
and Mobile Workers

New World Telecommunications Limited ("NWT") announced that it is the first telecommunications service provider in Asia Pacific to deploy the Nokia One Business Server for the launch of a new-class of Biz@nywhere wireless solutions to business executives and mobile workers in Hong Kong. Biz@nywhere is offered under the banner of NWT's services, a brand unifying the company's entire voice and data service portfolio for corporate customers.

Riding on NWT's sophisticated MPLS-based IP Virtual Private Network (VPN), Biz@nywhere provides busy executives with secure wireless access to various business applications from virtually any browser-enabled device, over any GPRS or 802.11 WLAN network. The first of the many applications introduced under Biz@nywhere is collaborative services including corporate emails, attachments, calendars, contacts, tasks, intranet and web-enabled enterprise applications. Biz@nywhere users benefit from using Nokia technology which automatically reformats and reprioritizes webpage content to fit in screen size of any mobile devices, and makes it user-friendly to access enterprise applications as well as intranet portals and Internet sites.

Biz@nywhere revolutionizes how executives use similar services, which are often device-dependent and do not offer any enterprise applications. Devices supported by Biz@nywhere include Internet-enabled PDAs such as HP iPAQ and Palm Treo, mobile phones and other special purpose devices such as Tablet PCs. With Biz@nywhere, users do not need to be locked into a specific mobile device, with its inherent limitations and associated high costs. Biz@nywhere is device-independent, works over GPRS and Wi-Fi network anywhere in Hong Kong and the world with global roaming, and offers access to value-added applications such as CRM, ERP, and even e-commerce, in addition to emails, calendars and contacts.

In contrast with other similar corporate services, Biz@nywhere only requires a connection with NWT's IP network. NWT's unrivaled services team will deliver total solutions ranging from connectivity, consultation, IT and telecom equipment, system design to installation. Once installed, any handheld device with Internet access will be able to access the corporate network immediately, without hardware investments at the customer's premises. In addition, Biz@nywhere is equipped with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Wireless Transport Layer Security (WTLS) connectivity to ensure maximum security and reliability for any business-critical applications.

"With Biz@nywhere, we continue to fulfill our vision of connecting businesses, and in the process we help to elevate Hong Kong's reputation as a connected, modern city," said Peter Hung, Vice President, Marketing of NWT. “Biz@nywhere reinforces NWT's '' concept aimed at delivering a host of end-to-end telecommunications and IT solutions. Biz@nywhere will banner our broad portfolio of business wireless connectivity and our partnership with Nokia, a worldwide leader in connecting people, further reaffirming this vision of connecting businesses in Hong Kong and around the world."

"Nokia believes that business mobility will fundamentally change the way people work. Our approach is to increase enterprise efficiency and productivity through enhanced mobility," said Daniel Lee, General Manager of Greater China Region, Nokia Enterprise Solutions. "The Nokia One Business Server provides a secure, simple and low cost solution to support Biz@nywhere's value proposition and NWT's initiative to create a workable mobile environment to maximize the benefits of mobility."
