Route1 Debuts Mobi Solution to Public Sector IT Pros at GTEC Week 2005

OTTAWA, Oct. 4 /CNW/ - GTEC Week, Booth  No. 211 -- Route1(TM)       
(TSX-V:ROI), an innovator in wireless remote computing, today will show off
its groundbreaking Mobi Solution at GTEC Week 2005, an event which is expected
to attract more than 7,000 public sector IT professionals from Canada and
delegates from at least 34 countries. The event will feature speakers and up
to 600 exhibits and demos of solutions for e-government.
The Mobi Solution is a mobile thin-client that utilizes all of the
existing wireless and mobile network infrastructures available today: data
cellular, WiFi, and LAN -- to give government employees seamless and secure
control of their desktop. 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 IT firewall.
At a time when it seems work is no longer a place, but simply what we do,
Route1's solution squarely addresses the needs of government staff and
departmental requirements driven by: privacy, data security, operational
continuity, and network and application integrity.
"The solution from Route1 directly addresses the risk, cost and
compliance concerns that many large enterprises have today," said Paul Wing,
former VP Risk Management & CISO, Great West Life. "Route1 manages and takes
away a lot of the risk by providing a secure platform that allows the end-user
computing workforce and customers to link directly to centralized, consistent
data processing resources knowing that only authorized persons are connected
and that the devices are able to talk to each other."
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,      
semi-rugged handheld computer with an Intel XScale processor running Microsoft
Windows CE.NET 4.2. The system 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 the MobiRemote(TM) and MobiHost(TM) applications that manage and
integrate all the necessary connections and session security using 256-bit AES
encryption, which is based on RSA KEON and RSA BSAFE technologies, through
Route1's MobiNET service.
"The key component of the Mobi Solution is MobiNET, which is a new
paradigm for delivering remoting services as systems inside the firewall are
allowed to follow users," said Andrew White, CEO, Route1. "The service is
developed around our unique workSecure(TM) technology and Seamless
Workspace(TM) architecture, which keeps users persistently connected, safely
switching between networks while managing secure sessions even in the middle
of a document edit."
The MobiBook PRO is available directly from Route1 or through
MobiAlliance channel partners. It carries an SRP of $1995 CDN along with an
annual subscription of $240 to the MobiNET service.
