Alcatel-Lucent announces HSDPA version of OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian
March 2008 by Marc Jacob
Alcatel-Lucent announced its plans to support high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA)-based 3G networks on its OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian, a revolutionary ”always on” laptop security and management system for the mobile workforce. The OA3500 NLG is currently available for CDMA networks.
European service providers with HSDPA networks can combine the OA3500 NLG with their 3G services to provide a turnkey laptop security solution for enterprises and government agencies. UK-based managed service providers n3k and Magdalene are the first to explore offering a fully managed turnkey solution to European enterprises.
The OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian is a security system on an HSDPA 3G card that remotely secures, monitors, manages and locates a mobile computer and protects its data if lost or stolen. The NLG has its own processor, power supply and operating system, and it leverages broadband networks to let enterprises manage laptops anywhere, anytime, even when the computer is turned off.
With this solution, IT departments have 24/7 access to laptops and are able to enforce policies for compliance, protect and recover stolen devices, and deliver patches and upgrades to an increasingly mobile workforce, thereby increasing productivity and efficiency.
– Availability:
The OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian for HSDPA networks will be commercially available later this year through Alcatel-Lucent channels in Europe, primarily through service providers that will bundle the solution with their 3G wireless WAN offerings.
