Here is an example of corporate e-mail access using Infinite InterChange. The Infinite InterChange solution is flexible in that it scales from small business environments supporting less than 50 users, to larger corporate environments with thousands of users, all the way to carrier-class and portal systems supporting hundreds of thousands or even millions of users in environments with fault tolerant requirements. In addition to supporting WAP clients, InterChange can also be configured as an IMAP4 and POP3 server to support conventional Internet e-mail clients. Infinite InterChange can be installed on site in a corporate environment to provide corporate users with wireless access to their existing mailbox. Depending on customer security requirements and preferences, InterChange can be installed inside or outside of the corporate firewall.
Corporate users can continue to use the e-mail system that they are most comfortable with.
Return to Table of Contents Forwarding solutions also present other dilemmas which do not exist in the Infinite InterChange solution. For example, users may be sometimes working in the office, and other times working outside of the office and requiring mobile access via a WAP device. If a user forgets to turn on forwarding, their mail will not be accessible from a WAP device. If a user forgets to turn off forwarding, they are often left with worse problems, such as the WAP specific mailbox filling up and having to be cleaned up, and possibly mysterious error messages being returned to the people sending them messages. Interestingly enough, network operators are often the first customers to encounter this requirement.
