TORONTO, July 5 /CNW/ - Route1 (TSX-V:ROI), an innovator in wireless remote computing, today announced early sales of its groundbreaking Mobi Solution to a number of Canadian firms in financial services. The customers have been pilot testing Route1's solution since May 2005. "We are pleased with our pilot program progress and our ability to convert testing efforts into sales," said Andrew White, CEO Route1. "Clearly, our Mobi Solution is delivering the results that businesses are looking for in today's mobile computing systems. Our goal is to continue focus on financial services, among other sectors, as prime targets for our solution." "The Mobi Solution meets all our requirements for secure mobile computing," said Richard Stone, President and CEO, Stone & Co. Limited, a national mutual fund company. "Route1's design allows our sales managers to be productive in the field without having to carry any applications and data with them. More importantly, our IT staff doesn't need to manage remote configurations or worry about sensitive data residing on the remote devices." Route1's Mobi Solution automatically utilizes all of the existing wireless and mobile network infrastructures available today -- data cellular, WiFi, and LAN -- to give users seamless and secure control of their desktop and corporate data. The solution comes pre-configured with all the functionality and essential security requirements that allow users to remotely operate their office applications, but unlike existing remote access solutions, all applications and data with the Mobi Solution remain safely behind the corporate firewall. "The core of the Mobi Solution is our MobiNET(TM) service developed around our proprietary workSecure(TM) technology and Seamless Workspace(TM) design," said White. "MobiNET ensures users remain connected, safely switching between networks while managing secure sessions even in the middle of document edits. The remote computing experience is just like being at your office." The Mobi Solution consists of the MobiBook PRO device that is based on hardware from Psion Teklogix, a 2.4 lbs. full-featured, solid-state handheld computer with an Intel XScale processor running Microsoft Windows CE.NET 4.2. The unit includes a resistive touch screen for pen navigation and 58-key touch-type keyboard. It comes with an AC adapter and can run for up to 10 hours on battery. Internet connectivity is provided via wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi (802.11b), GSM/GPRS/EDGE or CDMA 1xRTT (an optional serial modem is also available) and is easily upgradeable to new high-speed wireless networks, such as WiMAX, as they become available. The system comes configured with MobiRemote(TM) and MobiHost(TM) software that manage and integrate all the necessary connections and session security, which is based on RSA KEON and RSA BSAFE technologies, through the MobiNET service. The Mobi Solution is available directly from Route1 at 1-866-286-7330 or route1.com. The MobiBook PRO device carries a suggested retail price of Cdn $1995 and the MobiNET service is available as an annual subscription at $240. Customers can also lease a bundle including the MobiBook PRO with extended 3-year warranty, the MobiNET service, a wireless data card and all-you-can-use cellular data service, at $199.95 monthly.
