NetMotion Wireless Announces Support for Windows Mobile(TM) 5.0 Devices
SEATTLE, Feb. 27 -- NetMotion Wireless, the industry-leading
provider of mobile VPN solutions, announced today the immediate availability
of Mobility XE(TM) for Windows Mobile(TM) 5.0, Pocket PC and Pocket PC Phone
Edition devices. Supported devices include the Palm Treo 700W, Verizon XV6700,
Sprint PPC 6700, Cingular 8125, Dell Axim X51v, HP iPAQ hx2790 and Symbol
MC70. The Mobility XE mobile VPN secures enterprise data communications and
makes mobile workers more productive when using wireless data networks to
access corporate information and applications.
Enterprises are quickly adopting Windows Mobile 5.0 powered devices that
converge cellular voice with high-speed data access for mobile workers.
According to a recent report by Gartner Dataquest, "Shipments of PDAs based on
Microsoft Windows CE increased 23 percent year over year in 3Q05, to reach
1.7 million units, accounting for nearly half of all shipments."
Windows Mobile 5.0 provides more platform flexibility to customize devices
and solutions, productivity enhancements that include updated Microsoft Office
software and persistent memory storage for more efficient data management, and
a powerful multimedia experience.
"Devices running the Windows Mobile operating system are designed for
workers who are constantly on the go and require technology they can easily
take with them," said Chris Hill, group product manager of Microsoft.
"Mobility XE from NetMotion Wireless is a great solution for these people as
it helps them be more productive by allowing them to easily connect to their
corporate network and applications."
Jacksonville Sheriff's Office, a NetMotion Wireless customer for more than
two years, participated in the beta test of Mobility XE on Windows Mobile 5.0.
According to Emory Mills-Conrad, network engineer at Jacksonville Sheriff's
Office, "Many of our managerial and administrative staff are running Mobility
XE on Dell Axim PDAs running Windows Mobile 5.0. This combination allows them
to securely access information and maintain real-time connectivity with their
corporate email and calendars as well as access the Internet and our web-based
applications from anywhere in our wireless canopy."
"As the market leader in the mobile VPN space, we're highly attuned to the
needs of mobile enterprise customers," said Tom Johnston, SVP of product
management and marketing at NetMotion Wireless. "We've seen significant demand
for Windows Mobile 5.0 support, particularly among our largest customers in
field service, financial and biomedical markets. This release sets the stage
for broad adoption of Windows Mobile 5.0 powered devices among our current and
future customers."
