Supporting a wide range
of mobile devices on the network,
British Airways selected Extended Systems' solution for its device
agnostic, remote management capabilities that enable senior staff to
access real-time information
without imposing additional burdens on IT
departments. Despite the fact that fewer staff have been
provided with laptops and other wireless devices, British Airways
wanted to continue to offer
staff the opportunity to integrate their
own mobile devices and smartphones onto the network. Its
two main operating bases are London's two
main airports, Heathrow and Gatwick. With the company provided
match of $847,000, the
total contribution to the American Cancer Society will be $1.

found that OneBridge
had evolved to the point that it does all the
things we want it to do now and in the future," said
Tim LeBlond,
manager technology services at British Airways. "For us, the ability

OneBridge Mobile Platform as the foundation for future mobile
initiatives with an initial purchase
