iPass Mobile Data Service:
Go and the Network Will Follow

It's a big world out there. And there are still lots of places without phone jacks, Ethernet ports or Wi-Fi hotspots—like taxis, trains, customer lobbies and small towns. Until now, mobile users have often had to go it alone, without connectivity to the Internet or corporate network resources as they traveled from one place to the next. And when they go it alone, they expose their company to security risks, cost control issues and IT management difficulties. Thankfully, those days are no more.

Mobile Data Catches the Eye of Enterprise Users

With the introduction of the iPass Mobile Data – CDMA service, your mobile workers can now get connected virtually anywhere, anytime. They can work from remote locations, like insurance adjusters and real estate agents often do, and have on-demand connectivity. They can meet with clients, and gain immediate access. Or they can even make connections while in transit—from cars, trains and buses. With coverage that extends to virtually everywhere in the U.S., mobile users never again have to be out of touch with the office. All this since iPass added mobile data service to its portfolio of trusted mobility solutions.

There's Strength in Unity

The iPass Mobile Data – CDMA service is great news for IT managers as well. As mobile data connectivity has increased in popularity, many mobile employees have started adopting the technology on their own. This has left IT out of the loop, with many of these mobile users bypassing corporate security procedures to gain mobile data access and increase their productivity. What's more, many of these early adopters are your executives, top salespersons and VIP customers—those who can place high demands on your help desk even for unsanctioned services. Thanks to integration of mobile data into the iPass global virtual network, IT no longer has to be out of control of this access type.

The Start of Something Good

With this new service option to iPass Corporate Access™, iPass now offers 1xRTT (CDMA2000) connectivity nationwide in the U.S. and EVDO access in 30 U.S. cities (growing to 50 cities by the end of 2005) as a part of its global virtual network. These third-generation (3G) services provide between 40 and 300 kbps wireless data connections.
