Route1 Announces MobiAlliance Channel Program to Address Growing Demand for Secure Wireless Computing

NEW YORK and TORONTO, July 26 /CNW/ - Route1 (TSX-V:ROI), an innovator in
wireless remote computing, today announced a new channel partnering effort to
address the growing demand for secure wireless computing solutions, a market
representing more than 80 million mobile workers in North America today. The
MobiAlliance program provides multiple levels of participation featuring
partner development, management, support and growth.
"Channel partnering is an integral part of Route1's go-to-market
strategy," said Steve Skinner, Vice President Sales, Route1. "Through our Mobi
Pilot Program we are establishing a solid reference base for our innovative
Mobi Solution. Our goal now is to extend our reach beyond pilots with customer
leads through a broad group of channel partners specializing in security,
networking and wireless applications in Canada and the US."
MobiAlliance offers four levels of participation ranging from consultant
referral and participation on sales calls with Route1 to direct Mobi Solution
purchase, sale and support. MobiBlue level partners do not resell but are in a
position to recommend and consult on projects. MobiSilver and MobiGold level
partners are technically trained and certified Mobi Solution resellers, while
MobiPlatinum partners are positioned to sell to other MobiAlliance members and
engage them for after sales support.
"Route1's MobiAlliance provides a unique opportunity to capitalize on the
growing popularity of secure IP-enabled services," said Paul Reynolds,
President of CNG Solutions (www.cngsolutions.com), a networking solutions
specialist in Toronto. "The Mobi Solution delivers the capabilities of remote
control, remote access, VPN, PKI, authentication and thin client computing in
a simple, yet powerful, integrated hardware and managed service offering that
is well-suited for enterprises, government and small businesses that depend on
IP communications."
Comprising of the MobiBook PRO device and the managed MobiNET service,
the 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 office PC and corporate
data. The Mobi 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
firewall. Route1's MobiNET service also supports advanced security
applications in corporate, government and military installations using a
separate "hardened" infrastructure operating over IP for sensitive and
classified situations.
"After extensive search, we found Route1's Mobi Solution to be ideal for
mobile applications where data must remain locked down in a Windows
environment," said Jacque Richardson President of Six X Telecom
(www.6tel.com), a telecommunications network hardware supplier, based in
Lakeland, Florida, which serves Federal, State, Local Governments and
Utilities in the US. "With the Government mandate to increase the number of
teleworkers, there is a growing need for a secure, easy-to-use-and-manage
remote computing environment. MobiAlliance potentially provides a rewarding
platform to increase revenues with the Mobi Solution."
Route1 is providing a comprehensive marketing and promotional program to
create product awareness, stimulate demand, and drive incremental sales for
the Mobi Solution. Interested parties should contact Jeff Cohen, Director
