Avalanche Site Edition™

You spoke. We listened.

Avalanche Site Edition™ (SE) is ideal for small to medium sized businesses that want a proven enterprise-strength device management solution but do not need infrastructure management (access points and wireless switches) or complex network architecture. Avalanche SE is an easy to use management solution that provides complete visibility and control of your mobile devices from a central console. As a unique vendor-agnostic solution, it is the only product on the market to offer such an extensive range of depth and functionality with reduced complexity across such a large number of devices.

By managing all of your mobile devices, Avalanche SE offers unified visibility into your wireless network conditions, allowing for quick and efficient responses to problematic conditions. Key features include:

• Advanced Security Features – Avalanche SE supports a full range of wireless encryption and authentication.
• Profile-based Configuration – Easily create global templates that define network and configuration settings, and apply them to groups of devices based on specified criteria.
• Comprehensive Troubleshooting Tools - Avalanche SE constantly monitors your wireless enterprise and proactively remedies many common problems without administrator intervention.
• Automatic Alert Notification – Instant critical event alerts notify you about failures, security threats or other important events.
• Advanced Statistics and Reporting – Generate pre-configured, customizable network and mobile device activity reports to help optimize network performance. These reports can also be used for audit purposes. Individual device reports show visibility on installed software, asset / inventory information and the currently active configuration.

Wavelink’s flexibility allows you to add infrastructure management, and/or the ability to extend the Avalanche management architecture to multiple distributed servers. If your organizational needs change, you can seamlessly upgrade at no additional charge to Avalanche Mobility Center™.

Now available, please contact your Wavelink sales representative for more information on Avalanche SE.

Introducing Wavelink Communicator – Just Push-to-Talk

Wavelink is pleased to announce that in Q1 we will be releasing Communicator, a 100% client-side push-to-talk software solution aimed at enhancing on-the-floor and enterprise wide communication. With Communicator, organizations can extend push-to-talk, walkie-talkie functionality to their existing ruggedized and voice enabled Windows Mobile® and Windows CE® devices. From mobile device workers to fixed workstation workers, this feature allows all workers to communicate, regardless of the Windows® platform running.

Communicator features one-to-one (unicast), one-to-many (multicast) and global push-to-talk broadcasting. With any of these broadcast options, users can have push-to-talk conversations between voice-enabled devices. Wavelink Communicator also adds the ability to designate a global talk key that triggers the talk function, or beep-on-talk when a call is established. Paging is available via a page key that initiates the paging process.

For more information on Communicator contact your sales representative today.
