IBM Lotus Mobile Connect provides easier, more secure and more cost-efficient accessto key information through the optimized usage of wireless technology. This allowsmobile workers to improve productivity, protect the privacy of important data andmaximize companies' return on their wireless IT investments.
With Lotus Mobile Connect, users can move with portable devices from location tolocation unaware of network issues across Wi-Fi, cellular, satellite datatelecommunications or even wirelines without interruptions to Web or otherapplication connections, while secured in a high speed access to information. Thesoftware creates a mobile VPN (Virtual Private Network), for both Internet Protocol(IP) and non-IP networks, that protects sensitive enterprise data by encryptingdata, optimizing performances and reducing transmission costs.
Without the secure, seamless, cross networking roaming capability of this software,an end user would experience disconnections from their sessions and be forced torepeatedly re-authenticate to the firewall, obtain a new IP address, and renew theVPN connection to finally restart each application from scratch.
EurotechÂ's mobile device users like Zypad, a wearable PDA, can now benefit from anew customized network roaming feature, which enables enterprises to prioritize thenetwork they prefer to use based on important business priorities -- for example,the most cost-effective network, which network offers the highest-speed access todata, or provides the better security.IBM Lotus Mobile Connect is used by the Eurotech Group to realize solutions fortheir customers wishing to get the maximum from their networks.Lotus Mobile Connect complements the current Eurotech's offering with an easy tointegrate component that can optimize network usage, enhance effective throughput,enable networks roaming while keeping a VPN certified to FIPS 140-2 standard.
 This agreement extends the collaboration with Eurotech already in action with ArcomInc (USA), an Eurotech Company with IBM Sensor and Actuators group to implement IBMMiddleware in Eurotech devices , said Monica Tassinari, Manager of Lotus Italy, IBMSoftware Group.
Roberto Siagri, President and CEO of the Eurotech Group, says  I believe that thisagreement could be considered as an important step in the development of pervasivecomputing, Eurotech and IBM are truly looking toward the future, this marks themigration of the information technology domain to a totally ubiquitous era where asingle device has multiple capabilities.Â
