ATLANTA -- Cingular Wireless today introduced NetMotion Wireless' Mobility XE(tm), which ensures that handheld and laptop-based mobile applications remain available for data input and activity even if the user travels outside a wireless coverage area or across diverse networks.The innovative solution then resumes the wireless session automatically oncethe mobile device regains contact with the wireless network.

The solution, which is available through Cingular's direct sales organization, is a mobile virtual private network (VPN) that is easily installed on the mobile user's Windows-based device. It provides an encrypted tunnel for wireless data, and allows applications to remain in operation even if the connection to the wireless network is interrupted.When connectivity is regained, the mobile user can resume their work without the need re-start the application, or their VPN. This enhances the productivity of mobile workers needing access to critical data on wirelessly-enabled notebooks and handhelds, such as law enforcement and fire personnel, paramedics and home healthcare nurses.
