BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES)
BlackBerry Enterprise Solution (BES) from Airtel Nigeria is the ideal mobile enterprise product that keeps you connected to your office, while you’re on the go!
Why BlackBerry Enterprise Solution from Airtel Nigeria?
· Simplicity Unlike other wireless solutions that require users to "log in" to check their email, Blackberry is "Always On, Always Connected". If you send an email it is automatically sent to the Blackberry enabled handheld device.
· Security Blackberry Enterprise Server 4.1 supports End-to-End encryption. All communications between the wireless handheld and the BlackBerry server are encrypted using Triple DES (3DES). Because the BlackBerry server is installed behind your enterprise firewall, your information is never sent in plain text. BlackBerry has achieved FIPS-140-2 certification making it deployable in environments where security is a priority.
· Manageability Tight integration with the mail Server means you can take advantage of your existing infrastructure. BlackBerry runs as a Windows Service. This lets you manage all of your user's settings through a familiar interface giving them full control over the mobile environment through the use of custom "IT Policies".
· Extensibility BlackBerry Enterprise Server 4.1 features BlackBerry's Mobile Data Service (MDS), the easiest way to access enterprise data on your BlackBerry wireless Handheld. Using MDS you can wirelessly enable intranet applications quickly and easily.

SPAM and BlackBerry Internet Service
BlackBerry Internet Services features basic anti-SPAM filtering to help reduce, but not eliminate, unwanted junk email for the optional @Airtelng.blackberry.com email account. BlackBerry Internet Service will not filter any SPAM email from your integrated POP3/IMAP email accounts such as Rogers Yahoo!, Yahoo! Mail, Google Gmail, MSN, and Hotmail. You will need to configure your anti-SPAM settings for these services. For details about anti-spam features on these and other email services, please contact your email provider. They may be able to assist you in configuring your email accounts to reduce unwanted SPAM email which will not be delivered to your BlackBerry.
Note: If your company is currently using Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino or Novell GroupWise with the BlackBerry Enterprise Server and you would like to use your BlackBerry Internet Service with your corporate e-mail please contact your company I.T. Help desk.
* You may need to contact your email provider to determine if they support POP3 access and Mail Forwarding.
