Nokia Intellisync to complement du's mobility strategy
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that du, the new telecom operator in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is set to offer Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email to its consumer and business customers in summer 2007.

du is the UAE's second national telecommunications provider and started its mobile service in February 2007. To distinguish itself in a well-saturated mobile market like the UAE, du has committed to deliver highly innovative and user-friendly services to its customers.
"Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email perfectly fits into our strategy and underlines the ambition to be an integrated service provider offering voice, data and content services over fixed and mobile networks," Andrew Grenville, Executive Vice President, Enterprise Division, du, said.
According to the Telecommunications Authority (TRA), the mobile penetration rate in UAE is approximately eight times higher than the Internet subscriber rate*.

"Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email provides du with a flexible and scalable solution that allows the company to bring mobile email to the mass market."
"We selected Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email platform not only for the extensive range of device support but also for its advanced functionality," Grenville continued. "With Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email, we are able to provide a solution for every market sector, from a consumer offering through to SME and large corporations' behind-the-firewall requirements. This solution complements du's mobility strategy and gives us the flexibility needed to meet the needs of our full range of customers."
