A new development collaboration between the corporate portal specialist LINQ and the Belgian company Mobistar will make it possible for employees at user companies to communicate with the company's Microsoft Exchange Server via mobile telephones and other handheld units (PDAs), using GSM modems and the Pocket Office service based on LinqMobilizer.

The system is also GPRS-ready.
