Mobile virtual private network (Mobile VPN)
delivers improved communications for mission critical data
SCHAUMBURG., Ill. 15 August 2006 – Motorola (NYSE:MOT) today announced new
enhancements to Multi-Net MobilityTM, a mobile VPN solution that
delivers secure, seamless connectivity to public safety and government workers.
A new network switching feature and support for additional wireless network
interoperability have been developed for Multi-Net Mobility to meet the rapidly
changing needs of users as they roam between wireless networks.
Optimised network switching is added to Multi-Net Mobility’s Intelligent
Routing suite of features. When the user is in an area of overlapping wireless
network coverage, and the active network experiences weaker signal strength, optimised
network switching detects the drop in signal quality and automatically switches
to the next available network. Data packets are sent over both networks
simultaneously during the switchover to minimize lost data.
Multi-Net Mobility now interoperates with Motorola Astro Integrated Voice and
Data and Motorola High Performance Data (HPD) systems, giving customers the
ability to roam between Astro Integrated Voice and Data, High Performance Data,
MOTOMESHTM, wireless carriers and Wi-Fi networks. This enhancement
enables virtual private networks composed of wide area and broadband coverage.
"We are excited to add these important new features to our Multi-Net
Mobility offering,” comments Nick Rendone, vice president of Motorola’s Data
Solutions Organization, Networks & Enterprise. “Optimised network switching
improves performance in a way that is consistent with our emphasis on
mission-critical data, and the addition of Astro Integrated Voice and Data and
High Performance Data interoperability will enable our customers to move
seamlessly between wide area and broadband data networks”.
Multi-Net Mobility adds security and extends connectivity for MOTOMESH and the
family of MOTOwi4TM wireless broadband network solutions and
supports the Motorola Seamless Mobility strategy for public safety and
government customers. Multi-Net Mobility offers secure, interoperable, mobile
broadband to meet the needs of users on the move.
Motorola’s MOTOwi4 is a portfolio of innovative wireless broadband solutions
and services that creates, complements and completes IP networks. Delivering IP
coverage to virtually all spaces, the MOTOwi4 portfolio includes Fixed
Broadband, Mesh, Broadband over Powerline, and WiMAX solutions for private and
public networks.
