The Challenge Of Secure Mobile Network Access Anywhere

• Simple, secure access to many types of networks
• Securing systems & information in a mobile environment
• Centralized corporate control & visiblity of network service
• Centralized corporate control & enforcement of user policies
• Unified management & billing of multiple communications transports
• Enabling application performance in a wireless environment

As a group, wireless networks vary in speed and other communications attributes. This makes it difficult to provide acceptable and consistent communications quality for the enterprise applications used by mobile workers. Dropouts, disconnects, fades, latencies, transitions, coverage gaps and other wireless anomalies can make the use of common enterprise applications unfeasible due to repeated session failures or extremely slow performance.

The addition of advanced software technologies which process the traffic to handle RF anomalies and reduce overhead or data volumes can significantly improve the performance of key enterprise applications. With the help of this processing, applications often perform as well in a mobile environment as they do on the office LAN.
