Find - location and presence services for online, multi-user 'chat sessions,' supported by Nortel Networks Univity Mobile Location Centre (MLC) and Interactive Multimedia Server (IMS) platforms
Work - technology-agnostic solutions for doing business wirelessly, including unified public Wi-Fi, 2.5G and 3G services with single sign-on, authentication and billing; and secure, mobile professional applications
