LG Electronics Honored for First 4G LTE Dual-Persona Smartphone
The Revolution(TM) by LG with VMware Horizon Mobile(TM) is a virtualized LTE Android smartphone - the first of its kind selected as an Honoree for the 2012 CES Innovations Award.
NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics, Inc. (LG) announced today that it has been named as an International 2012 CES Innovations 2011 Design and Engineering Awards Honoree. The Revolution(TM) by LG with VMware Horizon Mobile(TM) represents the successful collaboration between one of the world's largest handset manufacturers, LG and virtualization and cloud infrastructure leader, VMware.
Available for preview at CES UNVEILED@NY event in New York City, the Revolution by LG with VMware Horizon Mobile is the world's first virtualized LTE smartphone enabling dual personas on a single mobile device. Aptly termed "Privacy & Business" (P&B) by LG, the user is able to switch between two profiles - the private profile for personal use and the business profile for work. This device also facilitates enterprise IT organizations in enforcing IT governance policies, particularly around data security and device manageability.
"Being selected as an Honoree by the 2012 Innovations Design and Engineering Awards is a continuation of LG's prowess in mobile device manufacturing as well as integration of mobility solutions from our ecosystem of partners," said Ki S. Kim, corporate vice president and head of Global Enterprise Mobility Solutions (B2B) at LG Electronics. "Clearly, LG's intense efforts channeled into mobile virtualization development with VMware have paid off. We are proud to be recognized as the innovation leader for enterprise mobility solutions."
The distinction extended to the electronics giant demonstrates LG's thought leadership in B2B, and it being on the forefront of creating innovative, advanced mobile devices acknowledged by industry experts. With LG's P&B devices, enterprises can transform business processes and unveil the competitive advantages brought about with higher employee productivity, operational effectiveness and efficiency.
"We are excited that the Revolution by LG with VMware Horizon Mobile has been selected as an honoree for the 2012 CES Innovations Award," said Steve Herrod, senior vice president and chief technology officer, VMware. "VMware Horizon Mobile will enable enterprises to securely adopt bring your own device policies and provide employees the freedom to have one device for work and personal use. Couple that with the Revolution by LG and you will have an innovative device that will change the way we stay connected."
This news follows closely the recent announcement by VMware and Verizon Wireless who have established a strategic partnership to bring dual-persona Android devices to market. LG plays a critical role in complementing this effort by ensuring that mobile virtualization technology is successfully integrated and optimized with world-class Android smartphones to create enterprise-ready mobile devices.
"LG's P&B devices will support enterprises looking to respond to increasing requests for Bring Your Own Device capabilities. The value proposition is that enterprise customers will benefit from reduced expenses and increased employee satisfaction, all in a secure environment - when they are on our reliable 3G and 4G networks," said Jennifer Rosales, executive director, Verizon Wireless, Business Solutions Group. "Our partnership with VMWare ensures we deliver partitioned access for business use on a personal device down to the operating system level, as demonstrated by the Revolution by LG with VMware Horizon Mobile."
