VPN cavalry coming to Windows smartphones

InfoWorld | at | by Mike

Enterprises adopting Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone Edition for road warriors can now integrate a VPN system, certified by Microsoft, for secure and stable access to their applications.

Microsoft has certified NetMotion Wireless Inc.'s Mobility XE for use with its OS for advanced mobile phones such as the Cingular Wireless Inc. 2125 model. The VPN product, a combination of client and server software, encrypts data exchanged during enterprise application sessions and keeps the server sessions alive when the phone leaves a coverage area or roams to another network.
