TOKYO, Aug. 11, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ)
(Nasdaq:IIJI) (TSE1:3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and
comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced the release of IIJ
Mobile Secure Link, a free network connection tool for 3.5G mobile data
communications services.
IIJ has leveraged its years of experience in providing security services for
corporate customers and its experience with the IIJ Mobile Access Service to
develop IIJ Mobile Secure Link. Users of data communications services, including
IIJ Mobile and other carriers, can use IIJ Mobile Secure Link and enjoy
increased convenience and security while reducing their system administration
overhead.
IIJ Mobile Secure Link provides the following features.
* Compatible with data communications terminals and providers of
3.5G mobile services
IIJ Mobile Secure Link can be used to make network connections with
IIJ Mobile Access Service, NTT DOCOMO, and EMOBILE data
communications terminals. In the past, each different data
communications terminal required its own network connection
software, which meant that system administrators had to support
the different client environments that drove the data
communications terminal. IIJ Mobile Secure Link provides a single
client environment, which reduces this system administration
overhead.
* Compatible with both wireless and wired LAN environments
On entry into the corporate wireless LAN or wired LAN environment,
IIJ Mobile Secure Link makes it easy to switch the network
connection from 3.5G mobile data communications services to the
local network. It automatically displays the ideal connection
method for the current environment based on factors such as
user-specified connection priority and wireless signal strength,
to make switching connections easy.
* Compatible with VPN connections
IIJ Mobile Secure Link has a single sign-on feature that enables
simultaneous connection to the Internet and VPN, which enables
anyone to easily and safely connect to a remote access environment.
There is also a feature that restricts access to the Internet
without using VPN, and this reduces exposure to security risks
such as viruses and information leaks.
IIJ plans to release a commercial version of IIJ Mobile Secure Link that is
customizable with the customer's company logo and customer-provided user manual,
and includes many more features to support use of mobile systems for businesses,
such as system administrator features that restrict user access to certain
settings.
Through IIJ Mobile Secure Link and IIJ Mobile Access Services, IIJ will
contribute to the creation of a more secure and convenient mobile environment.
