Microsoft has introduced new Lync mobile clients for Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, Android and Nokia Symbian mobile devices. With Lync mobile clients you can stay connected, communicate and conference on the go – extending the capabilities of Lync beyond your desktop.
Lync mobile clients are provided at no additional costs to subscribers of Lync Online and Office365. They are enabled by an update to Lync Server 2010 which is now available to Lync Online and Office365 subscribers.
Lync 2010 for Windows Phone is now available to download via Windows Marketplace and Lync 2010 clients for other platforms have been submitted to their respective mobile application marketplace and should be available soon.
- View colleagues’ availability in real-time and select the best way to communicate – initiating an instant message, email or phone call
- Connect to Lync conference calls with a single touch without requiring long numeric passcodes or conference numbers
- Make and receive calls using your Enterprise Voice (Lync ID) number only, so you can connect with others using a single, consistent identity
- Lync 2010 for Windows Phone provides transport layer security (TLS) and permiter/internal network protection without requiring a VPN, so your communications experience is safer no matter where you are or what network you use.
