Funambol for Service Providers

Mobile cloud sync and push email will grow rapidly in the next few years.

Funambol Carrier Edition is the ultimate open source white label mobile cloud sync and push email solution for billions of mobile phones. It enables mobile operators, device manufacturers, portals and service providers to deliver mobile services that keep the data and content on billions of mobile phones in sync with email systems, personal computers and social networks via the Internet cloud.

At the heart of Carrier Edition is the Funambol Server, a J2EE server application that syncs devices with backend data sources such as email servers, databases and social networks. The Funambol Server is the de facto open source implementation of SyncML, the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) platform-independent standard for data synchronization (DS). SyncML is endorsed by mobile operators, device manufacturers and software companies worldwide. It is built into more than one billion mobile phones, enabling them to work out-of-the-box with the Funambol Server to sync contacts, calendar, tasks and notes. Any mobile device with the ability to access the Internet can synchronize with Funambol.

In addition, for phones without SyncML, Funambol provides mobile sync and push email clients, for example, for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, BREW and Java handsets.

When it comes to deployment, one size does not fit all. Carrier Edition offers maximum adaptability to accommodate varying branding needs and deployment architectures. It combines the benefits of the Funambol Server with the proven performance of an RDBMS and the high reliability and manageability of app servers to deliver a clustered, highly dynamic, scalable and fault-tolerant solution.
