Geek Terminal, a concept café in Singapore, will be using Cisco Unified Communications (News - Alert) and wireless solutions for its technology upgrading efforts. This is expected to offer mobile business executives with a highly secure access to integrated voice, video and wireless networking for providing continuous connectivity and for enhancing business productivity.

 

SuperInternet, a managed services provider and a Cisco (News - Alert) Premier Certified Partner, will be implementing the technology at Geek Terminal. The upgrade will be anchored by the Cisco Smart Business Communications System (SBCS), and will include Cisco Unified IP phones for providing access to voice and video call as well as to the café menus and customer bills.

 

Cisco will also offer integrated firewall functionality and VPN connectivity. Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Access Points will provide wireless connectivity, WiFi (News - Alert) certified to the 802.11n draft 2.0 standards.

 

Geek Terminal employees and visitors will benefit from applications developed by NexLabs, which are made available on Cisco Unified IP phones. SMARTEssentials provide users instant information by news services and information feeds. SMARTDisplay allows for dynamic images that will be displayed on phones, offering advertising facilities for Geek.

 

In addition, the SMARTArchitect, a visual content management system, allows uploading of images and creation of phone menus, which is convenient and does not require the writing of any code.

 

“Our clientele of mobile business executives require instant connectivity regardless of location, and without compromises on security,” said Christopher Lee, CEO of Geek Terminal. “The Cisco Unified Communications and wireless solutions provided us with the perfect combination of convenience and security, allowing us to realize our vision of making Geek Terminal the preferred business meeting venue.”

 

Geek Terminal is an executive lounge and business office suitable for corporate executives. It enables business travelers and mobile business executives to work with comfort with all business center facilities helping them to work and communicate while away from office.

 

Tom Cheong, managing director for Cisco Singapore, remarked that employees today are getting increasingly mobile and are expected to be productive even while on the go, extending the traditional corporate workspace to nearly anywhere, and everywhere. Cisco’s solutions for unified communications allow businesses to adapt to the changes, liberating employees from their desktops to focus on achieving results for the business.

 

The Cisco Smart Business Communications System offers voice, data, video and wireless networking suitable for small and medium sized businesses. It makes access to information easy to customers anytime and anywhere offering effective and efficient ways of communication between employees and customers.
