Wireless Users Protected Against Connection Losses on Wireless Devices
ATLANTA, Dec. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Cingular Wireless today introduced
NetMotion Wireless' Mobility XE(TM), which ensures that handheld and
laptop- based mobile applications remain available for data input and
activity even if the user travels outside a wireless coverage area or
across diverse networks. The innovative solution then resumes the wireless
session automatically once the mobile device regains contact with the
wireless network.
The solution, which is available through Cingular's direct sales
organization, is a mobile virtual private network (VPN) that is easily
installed on the mobile user's Windows-based device. It provides an
encrypted tunnel for wireless data, and allows applications to remain in
operation even if the connection to the wireless network is interrupted.
When connectivity is regained, the mobile user can resume their work
without the need re-start the application, or their VPN. This enhances the
productivity of mobile workers needing access to critical data on
wirelessly-enabled notebooks and handhelds, such as law enforcement and
fire personnel, paramedics and home healthcare nurses.
NetMotion Wireless' Mobility XE(TM) also features data compression and
optimization capabilities that give customers the ability to extend even
more internal processes and legacy applications into a wireless
environment. The solution allows customers to mobilize applications that
otherwise would not function well in a wireless environment by reducing
protocol overhead and chattiness, and compressing data and Web images.
Customers can do so without modifying their applications or upgrading them
to special, wirelessly enabled versions, or performing expensive
development work.
"Cingular's new Mobility XE(TM) solution from NetMotion Wireless
eliminates the risk of having applications interrupted and data lost,
particularly when responding to emergency situations," said Laura Johnson,
senior director, enterprise solutions, for Cingular Wireless. "Mobile
workers are able to pick up where they left off even if they temporarily
travel out of coverage. This ability to maintain continuous and secure
application access will provide our government customers with an even
higher level of comfort and confidence when working in a mobile
environment. And the same benefits apply to the enterprise."
"Reliable and continuous mobile access to mission-critical information
is imperative for our customers who depend on accurate data and
applications without fail," said Tom Johnston, senior vice president,
products and marketing for NetMotion Wireless. Mobility XE(TM) is
invaluable to any government agency or business where mobile communication
plays a role in the organization's success."
NetMotion Wireless' Mobility XE(TM) scales from a pilot program with a
few mobile workers to a production installation supporting thousands with
ease, making it a viable solution for organizations of varied sizes and
demands.
Cingular Wireless counts some 1,800 federal, state and local government
agencies as customers, and provides wireless services to 95 of the Fortune
100 companies and more than 80 percent of the Fortune 500.
