Orlando, FL Wireless Enterprise Symposium 2006, Booth 110 - Ascendent Systems, a subsidiary of Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and a leading provider of enterprise voice mobility solutions, today announced the first phase in a series of technology integrations that will bring comprehensive enterprise voice mobility to the BlackBerry® solution. The first phase will deliver a new client application for BlackBerry handsets and integration with BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ that gives users the ability to easily and securely acquire enterprise dial tone and desk phone identity through the Ascendent® Voice Mobility client for BlackBerry.Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite is a standards-based software solution that can “push� voice calls and extend corporate desk phone functionality (four digit dialing, call transfer, conference calling, etc.) to mobile users on their wireless handset or wire line phone. The Ascendent Voice Mobility client for BlackBerry extends that capability directly to BlackBerry handsets, making it easy and seamless to initiate and receive calls through the enterprise PBX (Private Branch Exchange) or IP-PBX (Internet Protocol PBX) system. The new client software will also authenticate a user through an encrypted key via BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which in turn authenticates the BlackBerry handset to the phone system. The integration delivers enhanced security and privacy for the enterprise by enabling only authorized handsets to access the voice network. The client application will be available with the upcoming release of Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite 4.2.

"The technology integration of Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite with the BlackBerry platform delivers a user friendly, cost-effective, and secure solution for enterprises and enables an integrated mobile voice and data strategy," said Deborah Miller, Vice President, Ascendent. “Enabling the Ascendent client on BlackBerry will dramatically enhance the mobile experience for users. And enterprises will value the control and improved functionality that can translate into increased productivity and accessibility for their workforce.�

Ascendent remains committed to supporting a broad range of phones on the market and offers a CallBack feature in Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite that authenticates virtually any device to the PBX. When a user initiates CallBack, Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite will automatically call the user back on their designated CallBack device (a cell phone, home phone, etc. that is identified in the user's configuration profile) to grant full access to enterprise dial tone and PBX functionality. This enables only approved devices to access the enterprise phone system and provides the advantages of centralizing corporate telecommunications.

Ascendent Voice Mobility Suite is a feature rich solution that provides single number reach, consolidation and access to a single voice mail box, and extends desk phone functionality such as PBX dial tone, call transfer and hold, 4 or 5 digit dialing and conference calling capabilities to mobile users. It provides a consistent experience across a mix of telephony systems and simplifies the migration to newer IP-PBX systems. The solution is ideal for organizations with large numbers of mobile workers—such as executives, telecommuters, traders, military officers, healthcare professionals and plant managers—who need to be reachable, while away from their desks.
