Working from home today, back to the office tomorrow? No problem!

If your executives alternate between a home and corporate office, secure remote access to the organisation’s, or branch office network via public dial-in connections, WLAN and the Internet is of critical importance. Solutions are available for either a mobile PC (laptop and docking station) or two end devices (desktop and laptop).
Since teleworkers are usually permanently online, matching transfer media need to be selected. Dial-in can be direct via the company telephone number or indirect, via Internet (provider telephone number + IP address of target system).  

  • Alternative end devices: Desktop and/or notebook/laptop (with docking station where necessary)
  • Operating systems: Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Vista (32-/64-Bit), Linux, Symbian OS S60 3rd Edition
  • Transfer media: Modem, ISDN, WLAN, DSL, Internet
  • VPN technology: IPSec
