Cable&Wireless Worldwide and Research In Motion (RIM) have announced the availability of the BlackBerry solution to Cable&Wireless customers in the UK.

The BlackBerry solution brings together smartphones, software and services to allow Cable&Wireless customers in the UK wireless access to e-mail, phone, messaging, social networking, calendar, web, multimedia and other business and lifestyle applications.

RIM informed that customers can take advantage of Cable&Wireless’ FMC proposition when using a BlackBerry smartphone. This allows mobile services to be delivered over a fixed IP network – converging fixed and mobile services onto a single wireless device.

At launch Cable&Wireless will offer the BlackBerry Bold 9000, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the BlackBerry Pearl 8110 smartphones.

As part of the FMC offering, Cable&Wireless customers will need to deploy the BlackBerry Enterprise Server, which integrates with IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise and provides encryption and IT policy controls.
