How does Synkia work?

Data is stored on an internet server and transferred to phones wirelessly during synchronization initiated by a phone .
To access the data on the server all you need to do is to open a web browser and log into our application. Here you can manage company data like the shared contact list or tasks and add end users/employees that will be using the service.

Synkia is based on the SyncML protocol for transferring data between mobile phones and a server on the Internet. Synchronization is performed by a push of a button using applications that are already embedded in the phone from the factory. The phone and the server are communicating over-the-air (GPRS, UMTS or WLAN).

There are currently more than 300 phones that supports SyncML, including handsets from Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and newer handsets from Siemens and BenQ Siemens. Note that Synkia works with mainstream phones and that it is no need for advanced and expensive smartphones.
Our servers and gateways comply with common industry security standards and the communication between the phone and server is encrypted. We assure users that your information is secure at Synkia
