REDMOND, Wash.-AT&T Wireless introduced a trio of business solutions designed for customers using the carrier’s GSM/GPRS network.
The solutions includes Office Online, a ViAir Inc.-provided product that allows customers to remotely access corporate and personal e-mail accounts and manage personal information from any Web-enabled device. The service is compatible with both Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes and works by redirecting a user’s e-mail account from a connected corporate computer to the user’s wireless device of choice. AT&T Wireless said the service could be added to any of its data plans for $3 per month.

Rate plans begin at $40 per month per device with optional calling plans starting at $20 per month per device.
The final piece of the solution is Mobile Connection, which the carrier said provides a high-speed connection to corporate e-mail, the Internet, intranet and other Web-based applications and data using either a cable connection to an Internet-ready phone or a PC Card.
