Productivity
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Columbitech, a mobile VPN security software provider, announced new
features for mobile devices and smartphones, including support for
Microsoft's Windows Mobile 6 operating system, up to 50 percent
improved battery life and device management support for Network Access
Control (NAC).
The new features enable retailers and enterprise customers to reap the
benefits of wireless capabilities without sacrificing security or
performance.
As a Microsoft certified partner, Columbitech has added support for
Windows Mobile 6 to increase interoperability and allow mobile workers
easy and secure access to corporate networks. By supporting Windows
Mobile 6-enabled smartphones and PDAs, Columbitech is adding security
without affecting usability. Mobile workers can now experience
increased productivity, knowing that the information being transmitted
is fully secure.
"Wireless is becoming ubiquitous in the retail stores. Wireless devices
provide an enhanced consumer experience, better customer service, and
rapid transmission of transactions and inventory data," said Steve
Rowen, a Partner and PCI Compliance Specialist at Retail Systems
Research. "It is heartening to see more vendors- like Columbitech-
offering products that help retailers realize these productivity gains
while maintaining a high level of security."
New capabilities for Columbitech mobile VPN enable users to experience
up to 50 percent improved battery life on smartphones and other
devices, improving productivity significantly. Columbitech has also
improved its support for Network Access Control (NAC), which better
manages the status of each device before allowing access to the
corporate network. Other features like Bluetooth-enabled capabilities
and virus definition checks ensure that mobile workers will experience
enhanced security when accessing the network.
With this announcement, Columbitech further demonstrates its ability to
provide the latest mobile VPN technology. Columbitech provides the most
extensive operating system support for legacy-based mobile devices and
the newest smartphones supporting DOS, Pocket PC, Windows CE, Windows
XP and Vista. It is the only FIPS 140-2 certified solution which can
completely secure both WLAN and WWAN environments. The extensive mobile
VPN capabilities are also critical retail requirements for PCI
compliance.
"With the combination of existing legacy devices and increased demand
for smartphones, it's important for customers to know they can approach
one vendor that will secure all their devices and needs," said Lars
Resenius, CEO of Columbitech. "Columbitech's extensive support for the
newest mobile operating system coupled with new productivity and
security features delivers the most secure, future-proof solution in
the marketplace."
