How BlackBerry® works

Email

BlackBerry automatically delivers your email to your BlackBerry 8700g, enabling you to manage your inbox wherever you are, and respond quickly. BlackBerry uses GPRS or EDGE technology to deliver email to your BlackBerry 8700g.

What is GPRS?

GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is an efficient way of passing data over a mobile phone network. Until GPRS, the standard method of getting data to a mobile device was to use the circuit-switched method - dialling up, staying online, then logging off. GPRS enables charging by data usage, not time online.

What are the benefits of EDGE?

EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution) allows data transfer only, voice still transits via the GSM network. As downloads and data transfers are faster, higher transfer rates give the mobile user a more enjoyable experience with their device.

Compelling reasons to choose BlackBerry

For IT Managers

BlackBerry Enterprise Solution™ is the ideal mobile wireless solution for businesses that:

Have a large number of mobile workers who rely on their email and/or calendar.

Want to leverage existing investments by allowing mobile employees to access corporate applications whilst on the move.

Have a mobility project for corporate applications i.e. SFA, CRM, IT management, maintenance, shipping delivery etc.

Are looking for a single device to manage calls, emails and corporate data access.

Consider data security a major issue for the development of their wireless usage.

Benefits

BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ is the critical part of the BlackBerry end-to-end wireless Enterprise solution. It sits behind the corporate firewall and manages all data flow between the corporate network and individual BlackBerry enabled devices. Tightly integrated with the Microsoft® Exchange, IBM® Lotus® Domino® and Novell® GroupWise® email platforms and located behind the corporate firewall, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server® compresses, encrypts and sends data wirelessly and securely to BlackBerry devices. It also enables lost/stolen devices to be quickly disabled and the data on them rendered inaccessible.

Encryption/Security

BlackBerry Enterprise Server meets strict enterprise security requirements using advanced end-to-end Triple DES and/or AES encryption. Data sent between the BlackBerry devices and BlackBerry Enterprise Server is encrypted from end-to-end. An encryption key is generated for each device in a secure authentication environment. The identity of this unique encryption key is only known by the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and the BlackBerry device.

Beyond email

As well as wireless email, your BlackBerry 8700g offers web/intranet access, organiser, task pad and addressbook functions as standard. When used with BlackBerry Enterprise Server it can also offer wireless calendar functionality

and enable access to corporate data. BlackBerry is built on an accessible and open Java platform which enables customisation and innovation by third party developers and BlackBerry Alliance members. These developments capitalise on the power of BlackBerry and adapt it to deliver customised business data and applications to your BlackBerry 8700g, providing solutions for a range of industry-specific and cross-industry issues.
