Mobile security solutions provider Columbitech recently announced that its Wireless VPN solution includes support for Symbian OS 9.1. Adding support for Symbian to Columbitech’s existing portfolio of mobile VPN solutions presents Columbitech Wireless VPN as the world’s first and only mobile VPN to support laptops as well as both Windows and Symbian-based smartphones and PDAs.
The use of smartphones for remote access to corporate resources and business applications puts a new challenge on security solutions. The same security applied in the wired world is required for secure communications via mobile devices. As a result, Columbitech has developed a mobile VPN solution to support all mobile devices targeted at the enterprise market.
Columbitech Wireless VPN is a software-only solution offering significant advantages in terms of guaranteed security and convenient “always-on” connectivity. By using standards and protocols especially adopted for wireless communication, Columbitech has been able to create a VPN with exceptional reliability. The architecture not only provides a very high level of security, but also high performance through efficient adaptive compression and various protocol optimization techniques. Furthermore, the complexities of wireless data communication are made transparent by providing the end user with a robust, convenient and hassle-free, single sign-on environment.
Support for Symbian 9.1 will be available in December 2006.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
