How BlackBerry®works
Email
BlackBerry automatically delivers your email to your BlackBerry
8700g, enabling you to manage your inbox wherever you are,
and respond quickly. BlackBerry uses GPRS or EDGE technology
to deliver email to your BlackBerry 8700g.
What is GPRS?
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is an efficient way of
passing data over a mobile phone network. Until GPRS, the
standard method of getting data to a mobile device was to
use the circuit-switched method - dialling up, staying online,
then logging off. GPRS enables charging by data usage, not
time online.
What are the benefits of EDGE?
EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution) allows data transfer
only, voice still transits via the GSM network. As downloads
and data transfers are faster, higher transfer rates give the
mobile user a more enjoyable experience with their device.
What is BlackBerry Enterprise Server?
BlackBerry Enterprise Server™ is the critical part of the
BlackBerry end-to-end wireless Enterprise solution. It sits behind
the corporate firewall and manages all data flow between the
corporate network and individual BlackBerry enabled devices.
Tightly integrated with the Microsoft® Exchange, IBM® Lotus®
Domino® and Novell® GroupWise® email platforms and located
behind the corporate firewall, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server®
compresses, encrypts and sends data wirelessly and securely to
BlackBerrydevices. It also enables lost/stolen devices to be
quickly disabled and the data on them rendered inaccessible.
Encryption/Security
BlackBerry Enterprise Server meets strict enterprise security
requirements using advanced end-to-end Triple DES and/or AES
encryption. Data sent between the BlackBerry devices and
BlackBerryEnterprise Server is encrypted from end-to-end.
An encryption key is generated for each device in a secure
authentication environment. The identity of this unique
encryption key is only known by the BlackBerry Enterprise
Server and the BlackBerry device.
Beyond email
As well as wireless email, your BlackBerry 8700g offers
web/intranet access, organiser, task pad and addressbook
functions as standard. When used with BlackBerry Enterprise
Server it can also offer wireless calendar functionality
and enable access to corporate data. BlackBerry is built
on an accessible and open Javaplatform whichenables
customisation and innovation by third party developers and
BlackBerry Alliance members. These developments capitalise
on the power of BlackBerry and adapt it to deliver customised
business data and applications to your BlackBerry 8700g,
providing solutions for a range of industry-specific and
cross-industry issues.
