Columbitech announced the first secure WiMAX-ready VPN solution today.
Acceptance testing of the new version of WiMAX-ready Columbitech Wireless VPN will be done in cooperation with leading WiMAX equipment suppliers. Columbitech partners are expected to provide a variety of devices.
The WiMAX-ready Columbitech Wireless VPN (WVPN), a session-based security solution, provides users with a seamless and secure connection, allowing the use of a combination of different and emerging network technologies. For example, a user can log on to a corporate network from home using Wi-Fi or any broadband connection available such as ADSL. The user can then travel to the airport, where the secure WVPN session to the corporate network can be resumed over the airport Wi-Fi network as soon as the laptop session has been resumed from hibernation.
There is no need for the user to log in again, as the mutual authentication of the secure session is performed in the background and requires no user intervention.
Columbitech’s Wireless VPN provides secure connections and seamless roaming across networks like GSM, 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi/WiMax. Amongst all these networks, Columbitech Wireless VPN both encrypts the transmitted data and offers various methods of user authentication to eliminate unauthorized access.
