With Lotus Mobile
Connect, users can move with portable devices from location to
location unaware of network issues across Wi-Fi, cellular, satellite
data telecommunications or even wirelines without interruptions to
Web or other application connections, while secured in a high speed
access to information. The software creates a mobile VPN (Virtual
Private Network), for both Internet Protocol (IP) and non-IP
networks, which protects sensitive enterprise data by encrypting
data, optimising performances and reducing transmission costs.
Without the secure,
seamless, cross networking roaming capability of this software, an
end user would experience disconnections from their sessions and be
forced to repeatedly re-authenticate to the firewall, obtain a new
IP address, and renew the VPN connection to finally restart each
application from scratch.
Customers who use
mobile devices such as Eurotech's Zypad, a wearable PDA, can now
benefit from a new customised network roaming feature, which enables
enterprises to prioritise the network they prefer to use based on
important business priorities -- for example, the most
cost-effective network, which network offers the highest-speed
access to data, or a network that provides better security.
IBM Lotus Mobile
Connect is used by the Eurotech Group to realise solutions for their
customers wishing to get the maximum from their networks. Lotus
Mobile Connect complements the current Eurotech's offering with an
easy to integrate component that can optimise network usage, enhance
effective throughput, enable networks roaming while keeping a VPN
certified to FIPS 140-2 standard.
“This agreement
extends the collaboration with Eurotech already in action between
Arcom, a Eurotech Company, and IBM Sensor and Actuators group to
implement IBM Middleware in Eurotech devices”, said Monica Tassinari,
Manager of Lotus Italy, IBM Software Group.
Roberto Siagri,
President and CEO of the Eurotech Group, says “I believe that this
agreement could be considered as an important step in the
development of pervasive computing, Eurotech and IBM are truly
looking toward the future, this marks the migration of the
information technology domain to a totally ubiquitous era where a
single device has multiple capabilities.“
