Vordel Announces World First for Secure Wireless XML Transactions Using Windows CE on PDA Device
URL(s): www.vordel.com
DUBLIN, Ireland, April 30, 2001--Vordel, the leading provider of solutions for secure business
communications, today announced a technical world first for the wireless transmission of secure XML data. By integrating
e-security from Baltimore Technologies, Vordel has successfully developed a secure Windows CE version of its TalkXML
product suite, which allows for the transmission of secured XML information over the GSM network from a hand-held PDA
device.
Vordel is a world leader in the development of software products enabling companies to exploit the commercial opportunities
presented by XML and digital signature technologies. A company can now send and report data of a sensitive nature, signed
and encrypted over a GSM network using a standard PDA device.
"This development removes the dependence on proprietary software solutions for hand-held devices by allowing companies
to use any device running the Windows CE wireless operating system," David Ryan, CEO of Vordel, explained.
"Organizations that have a requirement for mobile reporting of sensitive data will enjoy significant cost savings using this
solution. The reporting of mission critical data securely from a mobile workforce in different locations is of particular relevance in
industries such as aerospace, military, health and utilities."
"The ability to securely exchange data is critical in wireless commerce, and with the growth in the mobile workforce it is
imperative that next-generation smart devices support this," said Keith White, senior director of marketing for the Embedded
and Appliance Platforms Group at Microsoft Corp. "Vordel's Talk XML in combination with Windows CE-based smart
devices will enable embedded developers to develop rich, secure handheld solutions for these mobile workers."
"Digital certificates deliver the high level of trust required in mobile e-business", said John Fallon Director of Wireless at
Baltimore Technologies. "This announcement from Vordel is an innovative application of Baltimore KeyTools which extends out
the benefits of end-to-end security based on XML to the wireless world."
Mark O'Neill, CTO at Vordel, spoke about this latest development: "This Windows CE version of TalkXML permits a
company's field-representatives to complete and encrypt an XML form accessible via a web-browser on the PDA device. The
data formats will correspond to the standard guidelines or Schemas and Document Type Definitions (DTDs) as recommended
by different industries."
"Because the information is transmitted using XML, Vordel's wireless solution is easily integrated with a corporation's legacy
back-end systems," O'Neill concluded.
Vordel develops products that increase business efficiency and security, and reduce communication costs. The TalkXML
suite from Vordel easily facilitates secure data transmission using digital certificates over public or private networks, and
between new and existing systems.
TalkXML immediately raises the bottom line of any business by allowing existing systems and people to communicate
securely using XML. TalkXML secures business communications, and extracts additional value from existing IT infrastructures
by allowing inter-enterprise integration.
Vordel is headquartered in Dublin, with sales offices in the USA and UK, and has partners in Ireland, UK, Switzerland and
the USA.
