November 2007:

For the first time in the UK, UK businesses will be able to extensively benefit from technology from evaris. “evaris IPv” is a fully managed, instant voice communications service for users of mobile telephones, handheld computers, RFID devices, PC’s and laptops that enables more efficient communication for business by fully unifying an organisations fixed and mobile workforces.

evaris IPv has been specifically designed to provide UK businesses with cost savings by enabling, for the first time, the unification of a companies fixed and mobile workforces using the mobile telephony networks and the Internet.

Similar technologies have been available to businesses in the USA, parts of Europe and other countries for some time. Many mobile handsets supplied in the UK, particularly those manufactured by Nokia, already have the capability to utilise evaris IPv by using  pre installed “Push to Talk” (PTT) software.

"evaris IPv is the first managed service available to UK businesses that fully integrates a companies mobile and office based workforce that uses Internet and IP protocol technologies and mobile networks to deliver savings in voice communication costs and more efficient communications whilst also helping minimise and reduce business “disturbance", commented Michael Pennington, Technical Director of evaris.

"The deployment of evaris IPv now solves a number of communication and operational issues for many companies operating in key vertical markets and business sectors such as parcel delivery, haulage, contract logistics, transport networks, public transportation, retail, local authorities, security, event management, healthcare and the emergency services to name but a few since evaris IPv helps shorten the business supply chain and extract’s cost, helping the business gain competitive advantage". 

Many mobile handsets, handheld computers and RFID devices already have the capability to accept the evaris IPv software and more devices are becoming IPv compliant on a monthly basis. The IPv software can be deployed on any PC or laptop computer provided the device conforms to the minimum required specification and has access to the Internet.  

evaris IPv is also being developed for the delivery of instant messaging, video conferencing and the capability for “push to send” such as the capability to scan and send information from one IPv user to another.
