SOMERSET, NJ and HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, UK--(Marketwire - April 28, 2009) -
AEP Networks today announced the
launch of AEP SecComm Personal, a unique communications platform that
delivers enhanced grade encryption to remote work forces. This is the
first in a series of SecComm products that enables organisations to furnish
their remote work forces with the same functionality in the field as their
colleagues enjoy in the office with no compromise on data security. The
technology is eminently portable, coming as it does in a small yet robust
computer bag. And it is "plug and play" so users do not need any degree of
technical skill or expertise to get the product up and running and then
connect to the available networks. It is a unique product in the market
today that supports the needs of users and organisations across all
sectors. It combines the technologies of AEP Networks and Vados Systems in
their first integrated solution product since the acquisition in Q4 of last
year.
Peter van de Geest, Managing Director Europe & Asia for AEP Networks,
comments, "This is an exciting development that clearly demonstrates how
AEP and Vados technologies work well together. The SecComm Personal gives
organisations the peace of mind they need when deploying staff in remote
locations. The security within the product is suitable for all types of
application and organisations. In fact, it will enable regional and
remotely located teams to exploit existing, normally insecure public mobile
and wireless networks to send and receive IP traffic up to and including UK
Confidential. It is ideal for use in emergency or disaster recovery
situations where access to communications can be the difference between
success and failure. This is quick to implement and doesn't need users to
have technical knowledge. It will be followed by two other variations for
larger remote office implementations and in-vehicle use."
Government policy requires Public Sector organisations to offer home and
mobile working to their workforce wherever possible. These bodies can now
extend remote access to classified data over a range of network access
technologies including remote office LAN, broadband (over DSL or Cable), 3G
and WiFi, without the normal restrictions and cost overheads. SecComm
Personal delivers the throughput to satisfy a wide range of demanding
applications.
