RIM develops Blackberry Business Cloud Services for Microsoft Office 365

Research in Motion (RIM) has developed the Blackberry Business Cloud Services for Microsoft Office 365. Blackberry Business Cloud Services for Microsoft Office 365 is aimed at giving SMEs access to Microsoft Exchange Online from Blackberry smartphones.

The cloud-based service is available for no additional charge to Microsoft Office 365 mid-sized businesses and enterprises plan subscribers. It works with Blackberry smartphones on business or consumer data plans. "Blackberry Business Cloud Services will help accelerate how Blackberry customers can realise the full benefits of the best productivity experience across the PC, browser and phone with Microsoft Office 365," said Julia White, senior director of Microsoft's Exchange product management group.

Blackberry Business Cloud Services allows organizations to self-manage their Blackberry deployments in the cloud. Rim says users can reset a device password or remotely lock or wipe a device in the event of loss or theft.

In other news, RIM has delayed an update on its Blackberry Playbook operating system until next year.

The Playbook has been criticized for its lack of e-mail client. RIM had said earlier this year it would include an e-mail client on the Blackberry Playbook by November in its next operating system.  RIM now says it expects to deliver the Blackberry Playbook OS 2.0 upgrade to customers in February 2012.

O2 brings superfast 4G to London

UK’s largest LTE trial network launches to explore the technology before national introduction

On 16th November 2011, O2 will switch on the first 4G (or LTE - Long Term Evolution) network in the capital, offering a unique glimpse into the future of superfast mobile broadband. The trial, which will run for the next nine months, will see O2 equip hundreds of consumers, businesses and venue owners with the latest 4G technology and give exclusive access to the first and largest urban 4G network in the UK.

Over 25 4G sites will go live across London this month, covering a combined area of 40 square kilometres, between now and summer 2012.The network will stretch from Hyde Park to The O2 in Greenwich and has been carefully designed to cover key areas of the capital, including Canary Wharf, Soho, Westminster, South Bank and Kings Cross.

The network will enable O2 to provide a mobile internet experience comparable to the fastest landline fibre home broadband connections, unlocking a wealth of services including high speed corporate LAN access, high-definition film and music streaming, mobile online gaming and high-speed access to social networks. At these speeds, the time to download a 500MB file could be as fast as under one minute, compared to over 5 minutes on 3G.

Ronan Dunne, Chief Executive Officer of Telefónica UK (O2), said: “Today’s launch of the UK’s first 4G London trial network demonstrates our commitment to delivering 4G to our customers at the earliest opportunity. The work we are doing now will lay the foundations for our commercial 4G network when it launches in the UK.”

O2 will provide trialists with Samsung B3730 mobile broadband dongles, supporting speeds of up to 100Mbps, and well as 4G personal wireless hotspots and handsets from a number of other vendors. Over 1000 individuals are expected to take part. Among those involved in the trial are a number of exclusive partners, including:
 

John Lewis – the leading retailer, John Lewis, is one of O2’s largest corporate customers to be signed to the trial to pilot the benefits of 4G internally and explore the impact it will have on its operations.
