Wireless VPN supports Windows Mobile 5.0
Mar. 03, 2006

NetMotion Wireless has released a new version of its wireless VPN (virtual private network) software with support for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices. Mobility XE enables wireless VPN deployments that meet the requirements of mission-critical environments such as field service, utilities, healthcare, and public safety, according to the company.

The Mobility XE architecture consists of a Mobility server behind the corporate firewall or in the DMZ, along with a lightweight client software component that resides on each mobile device, the company explains. According to NetMotion, the combination creates a seamless "user experience," even in weak coverage areas or if users suspend and then resume activity. This allows any combination of IP-based networks, both wired and wireless, to act as a unified, seamless, easily managed system. If a user encounters coverage gaps, applications simply pause, then resume sending data when a connection becomes available again.

NetMotion claims that Mobility XE greatly improves throughput, application responsiveness, and productivity on bandwidth-constrained wireless networks. Additionally, the technology "significantly" increases the throughput of cellular-based data networks by reducing protocol overhead and "chattiness." The package also compresses data and web images.

NetMotion says Mobility XE v6.63 currently supports the Palm Treo 700W, Verizon XV6700, Sprint PPC 6700, Cingular 8125, Dell Axim X51v, HP iPAQ hx2790, and Symbol MC70.

"We've seen significant demand for Windows Mobile 5.0 support, particularly among our largest customers in field service, financial and biomedical markets" said NetMotion product marketing vice president Tom Johnston. "This release sets the stage for broad adoption of Windows Mobile 5.0 powered devices among our current and future customers."
