Nokia and Italian operator, Wind Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. (Wind), have signed a contract that will see Nokia integrate a customized remote mobile email platform into the operator's network and host the commercial service.

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.

"Our strategy is to provide innovative services to our customers and Nokia's hosted mobile email solution allows us to do exactly that," says Maximo Ibarra, Marketing Mobile Director, Wind Telecomunicazioni S.p.A. "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."

"We are pleased to support Wind in bringing new services to the market," says Roberto Bagnoli, Account Director, Networks, Nokia. "Nokia's common platforms and integration services allow us to help the operator to bring new services to the market faster, while Nokia Mobility Hosting ensures that the operator benefits from lower up-front CAPEX and risk exposure."
