Mobile Office includes sophisticated capabilities—available through an online console—that simplify mobile device management, keeping laptops, smartphones and handhelds operational, up-to-date and safe over the Internet. It reduces the total cost of ownership for mobile devices while providing unprecedented visibility and control.
Over-the-Internet software distribution: Remotely deploy new mobile applications, distribute software updates and install new software drivers.
Easy Deployment for Mobility Software and Increased IT Productivity: New mobility software templates for deploying or upgrading iPassConnect, Mobile Broadband device drivers, VPN software from Cisco, Nortel and CheckPoint, and anti-virus software from McAfee, Symantec and Trend Micro.
Flexible, customizable scripting: Use Mobile Office's smart scripting engine to define and automatically distribute updates—and automate common mobility management tasks—based on your company's specific needs.
Active Directory integration: Target dynamic groups to send mobile applications and new drivers only to those mobile devices that actually require them.
Provisioning: Grant or deny service to individual users or groups of users based on username, domain, and class of service or country of use. Control access to specific services, such as Wi-Fi, based on nested groups within Active Directory.
Mobile device tracking: Identify and track configuration status of remote and mobile devices—even when they are not connected to the network.
Intelligent updates: Keep users productive while devices are managed, thanks to dynamic bandwidth throttling, checkpoint restart and intelligent reboot.
Mobile device discovery and inventory: Automatically gather detailed hardware and software information from laptops, smartphones and handheld devices.
Security validation: Validate the security of remote and mobile devices and deploy patches and security updates as soon as devices touch the Internet—without requiring a VPN connection.
Mobile Device Management Leader Analyst firm IDC placed iPass in the "Leadership" section of its Worldwide Mobile Device Management Enterprise 2007-2011 Forecast.
Additional Management Options
Device Protection: This optional on-demand service mitigates the risks related to use of the Internet, USB ports and rogue applications, without requiring investment in new enterprise infrastructure.
Device Lockdown: Optional integration with personal firewalls enables IT to apply rules for locking and unlocking the firewall at different points in the connection process, based on the remediation status of the device.
Cisco Network Admission Control (NAC) integration: Protect your network from vulnerable devices that have not undergone remediation through integration with NAC.
