TORONTO, Dec. 7 /CNW/ - Route1 Inc.(TM) (TSX-V:ROI) today announced that its secure, identity-managed computing device, the Route1 MobiKEY has been honoured with an Editor's Choice award from VAR Business. The MobiKEY was also added to the publication's 'Best of Tech Watch' roundup of new products and technologies offered by leading and emerging vendors.
The MobiKEY is an ultra-portable, smart-card enabled computing device that securely connects users to their desktop and network resources from any Internet-enabled Windows-based PC. It works in conjunction with MobiNET, a subscription-based communications and service delivery platform focused on identity management and entitlement-based access to resources.
In its review of MobiKEY, the VAR Business editor states "while remote PC access is nothing new, the MobiKEY device and its complementary MobiNET service, establish secure communications via two-factor authentication (a password and private key encryption)". MobiKEY is also touted in the review as a solution for "routine remote access to desktop applications as well as disaster recovery."
"The VAR Business Editor's Choice Award reinforces the value that MobiKEY provides to corporate users around the globe, and the tremendous potential it offers to the solution providers and channel partners that are dedicated to selling this unique solution," said Andrew White, CEO of Route1. "With its innovative approach to secure identity management, MobiKEY is unrivalled in today's market. It is a comprehensive solution that provides ironclad security and powerful, easy-to-use connectivity between users and their desktop applications for remote access, business continuity, desktop consolidation and a myriad of other enterprise applications."

No matter what the vertical market segment - government, financial services, or healthcare - there's a place for MobiKEY. It is a truly unique product that bridges the gap between the organization's need to provide secure remote access and today's stringent requirements to keep data secure behind the corporate firewall."
