Ericsson hosts Automatic Device Configuration for DNA Finland
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) has been selected by the operator DNA in Finland
to host a faster and simpler activation and configuration of its
customers' handsets through Ericsson Automatic Device Configuration
(ADC).
The automatic device-identification and configuration service is based
on the Ericsson ADC solution. Through the managed services hosting
contract, Ericsson takes overall responsibility for the service.
With the Ericsson ADC solution, new DNA customers and users
automatically receive settings when their phone is switched on. Services
such as MMS, WAP and the adoption of internet access become simpler and
faster, both for the customer and the operator.
Tommy Olenius, CTO of DNA, says: "DNA aims to offer its customers
versatile and easy-to-use services. Ericsson ADC service makes it
substantially easier for DNA subscribers to adapt their new mobile
phones. At the same time, DNA service development is enhanced as the
ever-expanding end-user device base is efficiently managed. Hosting
from Ericsson is a fast, simple and cost-efficient way for us to get
this solution up and running."
ADC can automatically detect the make and model of wireless devices on
the network so that correct configuration information is sent to the
particular phone for new services and updates. DNA customer service
automatically receives the technical details and information about
the phone. This enables customer service to become more focused and
effective.
Janne Laitala, President of Ericsson Finland, says: "How easy new
handsets are to adopt is a key factor when launching new-generation
mobile services. When configurations do not have to be performed
manually, more and more DNA customers will become enthusiastic
about the new opportunities mobile communications have to offer."
The ADC solution has successfully been available for DNA
customers since the end of June 2006.
Ericsson is shaping the future of Mobile and Broadband Internet
communications through its continuous technology leadership. Providing
innovative solutions in more than 140 countries, Ericsson is helping to
create the most powerful communication companies in the world.
