Sipera Secure Live Communications (SLiC) enables an enterprise to safely and securely extend its VoIP to any supporting smartphone or mobile device – cutting cellular usage and voice roaming charges.

The smartphone is an essential tool in today’s enterprise environment.  Employees rely on their mobiles to be constantly in touch and responsive.  But cellular usage can quickly become very expensive, especially for traveling employees who incur roaming charges.   In addition, use of the mobile has become so commonplace that employees make cellular calls even when sitting next to their desk phones.

Sipera Systems, the worldwide leader in UC security solutions, enables your employees to use VoIP over data connections to their mobiles – meaning that they do not consume voice minutes or incur voice roaming charges when they use their mobile devices.  In addition, the Sipera UC security solution enables employees to use internal extension dialing and similar “desk phone” types of features on their mobiles.

Sipera’s customers are offloading millions of minutes in cellular traffic today – reaping dramatic savings while increasing employee responsiveness and workplace flexibility.

Sipera SLiC Tames the Smartphone

• Smartphones using VoIP via WiFi, 3G, 2G, GPRS or other data networks are automatically authenticated into the enterprise telephony infrastructure, enabling all security policies and rules to be applied to the smartphone.
• All communications to the smartphone are fully encrypted and private, using the same strong encryption used for all of the enterprise’s other services accessed over non-secure public networks.
• The enterprise communication security posture is extended seamlessly and simply to the smartphone. 
• IT managers now have one single management console and point of control for the security posture across the entire enterprise for all end-points … desk phone, soft-clients … UC devices … and now the smartphone.
• Employees can conduct 4-digit extension dialing and use other helpful features, just as if they were carrying their desk phones in their pockets.

Sipera SLiC makes VoIP and UC on the smartphone “ready for business.”  Unlike untrusted, uncontrolled third-party VoIP or IM applications that are out of the enterprise IT or telecom group’s control, Sipera SLiC integrates the smartphone into the enterprise’s UC infrastructure. 

Sipera SLiC consists of:

• A security appliance that sits in the enterprise DMZ, providing access control, authentication, encryption, policy enforcement, and threat detection and mitigation.
• Interoperable smartphones with native SIP clients, or the downloadable Sipera SLiC client, which provides a secure SIP stack, VoIP capabilities and integration with enterprise security.
