Italian operator, Wind Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. (Wind), has ordered an integrated and customized remote mobile email platform from Nokia; which will also host the commercial service.

The hosting model allows Wind to focus on marketing and developing its customer relationship while Nokia takes care of mobile email operations and service availability.

The service, branded as Leonardo Mail and Leonardo WEB Mail, is based on Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email solution and provides mobile email, attachment handling, calendar, contacts and tasks to Wind enterprise customers.

“We will provide Leonardo services to our enterprise customers and are confident that this cooperation with a reliable supplier like Nokia will further strengthen Wind’s competitive position in the Italian market,” says Wind’s marketing mobile director Maximo Ibarra. Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email provides operators with a range of email solutions that spans virtually all market segments, from basic consumer email to a sophisticated, enterprise-class mobile email server for large groupware environments.

In Italy, Wind is the third mobile operator with a market share of over 19 percent and 14.5 million subscribers, and the first alternative fixed operator with 1 million unbundled local loop customers.
