TORONTO, June 15 /CNW/ - Route1, Inc.(TM) (TSX-V:ROI), a trusted provider of secure, identity-managed computing solutions, today announced that Bell Canada has agreed to launch a massive pilot to resell the Route1 MobiKEY(TM). This ultra-portable computing device that securely connects users to desktop and network resources from any Internet-enabled Windows-based PC will be sold through Bell Canada's Small & Medium Business Solutions group. This agreement follows on the recent announcement between Route1 and Bell Canada's Security Solutions subsidiary, BSSI, whose focus is the large enterprise market, including health care, government and financial services. With a customer base over 300,000, the Bell Canada Small & Medium Business Solutions group serves customers with up to 500 employees. The pilot phase of this initiative will involve all field sales reps in the province of Ontario with a focus on the mid-market accounts. "Achieving secure, remote connectivity to desktop resources has always presented a challenge for smaller enterprises, given the logistical and security issues which characterize traditional remote access solutions," said Peter Kerr, Vice President Marketing for Small/Medium Business at Bell Canada. "The Route1 approach is simple, and provides the next generation in easy to install, fully-managed, secure remote access." MobiKEY is currently being used by business professionals around the world for secure remote connectivity to simple word processing applications as well as complex CAD/CAM and medical imaging technology. Governments of several countries have already embraced MobiKEY, and Route1's customer list has grown to include businesses from every conceivable industry segment. "Bell Canada is one of the world's leading communications companies and has a long tradition of introducing innovative technology into the Canadian market," said Andrew White, CEO of Route1. "MobiKEY's appeal is universal, and it's a natural fit with Bell's Small & Medium Business Solutions group." Peter Kerr added, "The first time I used my MobiKEY, I was hooked. I immediately saw the fit in our market and am confident our customers will join the list of many satisfied MobiKEY users worldwide." Embedded on a smart card-enabled, cryptographic USB device, Route1 MobiKEY securely connects users to their desktop and network resources which look, act and behave exactly as they do when they are at their desk in the office. Users simply plug the ultra-portable MobiKEY into the USB port of any Internet-enabled, Windows-based PC and within seconds are running applications on their office desktop. This unique secure access solution is powered by MobiNET, a service delivery platform for secure identity management which enables the secure operation of office desktops over cellular data, WiFi, or LAN connections from any location worldwide.
