Your Office On The Move
Computer Times April 04, 2001

With more professionals on the move, Cisco has launched its Internet Mobile Office initiative that will offer an end-to-end solution to provide mobile business professionals secure, high-speed network access to the Internet and their corporate resources anytime, anywhere.

This mobile office initiative effectively extends the enterprise beyond the physical office.

By providing mobile business professionals with convenient, easy access to their corporate network from locations including airports and airline lounges, convention centers, hotels, restaurants and other hospitality venues, enterprises will be able to increase productivity for their employees and control costs for staff who can access the corporate network while on the move.

Key to Cisco Internet Mobile Office are wired and wireless products and technologies from Cisco including an end-to-end security solution based on the Cisco Virtual Private Networking technology, which supports secure remote access computing.

Through alliances with broadband service providers such as Davnet and solutions integrators such as Bluengine, the Cisco Internet Mobile Office initiative will be extended to even more public access facilities.

Davnet will deliver the Cisco Internet Mobile Office through their comprehensive range of services to the premises of business clients over a single network socket.

Bluengine is creating an island-wide high-speed, connected environment in all A&W fast-food restaurants locations, cybercafes, game centers, coffee outlets and other public locations using Cisco's wired and wireless network technology.

Cisco is also working with other service providers and solutions integrators throughout Asia-Pacific as well as with major airlines, airports, hotel chains and convention centers to build the Cisco Internet Mobile Office architecture in the region.
