FRISCO, Texas & LEEDS, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Tango Networks today announced that its Mobile-X™ Extend service enables businesses to reduce their carbon footprint by consolidating business communications on smartphones and eliminating redundant phones.
Tango Extend™ is an award-winning service that integrates a complete business line into a mobile phone, allowing employees to carry the equivalent of a desk phone wherever they go. The solution is fully mobile native and requires no apps or training to use.
The service can turn a SIM card in a multi-SIM phone into a business line, allowing employees to use Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) personal phones for businesses with full integration into their company’s unified communications.
“Today’s hybrid work environments and the world of work from anywhere require simplification and convergence of business communications,” said Andrew Bale, executive vice president of Tango Networks. “Tango Extend turns personal cell phones into business extensions so businesses can cut the cord and go ‘Mobile Only’. Not only does this bring huge productivity and efficiency gains, it allows businesses to eliminate useless phones.
Environmental researchers report that cell phones have the largest carbon footprint of any category of information technology device, surpassing desktop and laptop computers and monitors. Companies around the world have made commitments to reduce their carbon footprint and carbon footprint auditing is an increasingly common goal in the management and sustainability practices of corporate facilities and operations.
Companies that deploy Tango Extend are now consolidating business communications on mobile phones and eliminating unnecessary landline desk phones or redundant company-provided mobiles.
The service is the first in the industry to use eSIMs to add a company-controlled extension to an existing phone in minutes, creating dual-user personas for business and personal use. Business voice and text communications use the company-controlled SIM card and company identity and phone number. Meanwhile, personal communications use the personal SIM card and remain private and separate and use the personal identity and number.
Tango Extend also makes it possible to capture and record business communications on personal mobile phones for retention and compliance purposes, such as in financial services or customer service operations.
Winner of more than 12 best new product awards and channel vendor citations, Tango Extend uses Tango Networks fixed-mobile convergence technologies covered by more than 90 patents.
Companies use Tango Extend solutions for mobile unified communications (Mobile UC), Mobile First and Mobile Only. The solution enables businesses to operate work-from-home, hybrid, and work-from-anywhere programs while maintaining communications control and compliance. The solution delivers fully integrated business communications to mobile employees, office-less workers, and front-line workers such as delivery and home service personnel, many for the first time.
Tango Extend is sold only through Tango Networks Value Added Resellers and Communication Service Provider partners.
