More than likely, it won't connect directly to your exchange server. Most companies have mobile devices connect throgh a webmail portal.
So instead of the mail server being input as:
exchange.company.co
It's:
webmail.company.com
This is usually done for security reasons.

There is no need for an ActiveSync app. The native Android and IOS mail clients have ActiveSync support built in. Basically, on the device you set up a new mail connection, point it at your Exchange webmail address, fill in our Active Directory username and password let fly. Once te connection has been established, Exchange manager will show the device and give you remote wipe, etc.

And to build on MasterRacker's comments...
On the Exchange server side, there is an Exchange ActiveSync service that will need to be enabled. Approved users will need to be given access. You can configure an external address such as owa.company.com, though "owa" in the address is really an arbitrary choice.
On the mobile device, ActiveSync will be built-in, meaning you won't have to install any additional apps. The one exception with Android devices is that Android 2.0 or later is required (essentially every Android phone released since 2009 will have that). You just have to configure the device with your exchange server address, your email address, and active directorty login.
