Introduction
Mobile communication and information services are becoming increasingly important. High-speed data
connections, whether for business or private purposes, are already taken for granted in today’s world. Mobile
data access with notebooks or mobile telephones via hotspots (WLAN) or UMTS are already every day realities.
An up-to-date and synchronised data inventory is indispensable in this area.
This fact makes the Webland Xchange servers the centre of attention as central data storage for e-mails and
PIM data (Personal Information Management- calendars, contacts, tasks).
So that these data are available and up to date everywhere and at all times, they must be constantly
synchronised with the central server and mobile end-devices and stationary computers (PC’s).
These data can be subject to shared use and exchange in a team, company or even a family. To this end, the
individual data categories (calendars, contacts, tasks, etc.) and/or the individual folders (sub-folders) are
assigned specific access rights by the user so that only authorised persons have access.
The solutions SmartSync® and Hosted-Xchange are optimally adapted for these needs so that your data are
always up-to-date both on the mobile phone/smart phone, local PC’s/notebooks and on the internet and so that
you can use them together with other persons.
You can find more information about the services of Webland AG on the website:
www.webland.ch.

SmartSync® Basics
What is SmartSync® ?
SmartSync® by Webland enables "over-the-air" (OTA) synchronisation of your mobile telephone with the
central server.
This provides you with constant access to your e-mails, calendar, contacts and tasks everywhere you go, even
when you work "offline".
Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync Protocol
Webland SmartSync® is based on the Exchange Active Sync (EAS) data synchronisation protocol by Microsoft.
This protocol was developed by Microsoft in order to synchronise mobile devices (e.g. mobile telephones) with a
central server.
The EAS protocol that we developed now allows real "over-the-air" synchronisation of iPhones and Windowsdriven mobile devices without needing to install any additional software.
The EAS protocol has been used in the Microsoft environment thousands of times over for years now and is
considered extremely reliable.
Microsoft DirectPush
SmartSync® by Webland includes the so-called DirectPush function by Microsoft.
The DirectPush function allows automatic presentation of incoming e-mails on your mobile telephone. The
mobile telephone maintains a connection with the Webland Xchange Server and it sends new incoming e-mails
to your mobile in real time over the mobile network. The data traffic generated with active DirectPush can be
kept very low so that marginal fees accumulate due to this function.
Along with e-mail synchronisation, SmartSync® also has the ability to synchronise your events, tasks and
contacts. If an employee has access to your event calendar, he can enter a new meeting and you will be
informed in real time.
Our solution Hosted-Xchange offers many additional options for joint use of event calendars, central
administration of contacts, etc.
You can find more information about this under Hosted-Xchange.
Encrypted Data Transfer via SSL
With SmartSync® you are always up-to-date wherever you may be.
So that no unwanted third parties can surreptitiously intercept your data during data transfer, SmartSync®
uses a secured connection via SSL (Secure Socket Layer).
You can learn more about this in the chapter "Configuring Mobile Telephones".

SmartSync®
Data Synchronisation with SmartSync®
SmartSync® allows you to synchronise the following elements "over-the-air" automatically using your mobile
telephone:
✔
E-Mails
✔
Event calendar
✔
Contacts
✔
Tasks
✔
Journals
✔
Notes
Note that it is possible that your end-device does not support all synchronisation elements.
Important Notice:
Please keep in mind that additional costs can be incurred for data transfer, depending on the contract you
concluded with your telecommunications provider. For additional information, contact your telecommunications
provider.

Mobile Telephones
Supported Mobile Telephones/Operating Systems
SmartSync® by Webland can be used with many of the mobile telephones on the market. Basically, you need to
make sure the device supports the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol. Many devices can also be retrofitted

your device supports ActiveSync, contact your mobile phone’s manufacturer.
A (non-exhaustive) list of compatible end-devices appears below.
