Motorola Enhances Multi-Net Mobility(TM) with Optimized Network Switching Feature and Network Interoperability Support
Mobile Virtual Private Network (Mobile VPN) Delivers Improved Communications for Mission Critical Data
SCHAUMBURG, Ill., Aug. 15 -- Motorola (NYSE: MOT)today announced new enhancements to Multi-Net Mobility(TM), a mobile VPN solution that delivers secure, seamless connectivity to public safety and government workers. A new network switching feature and support for additional wireless network interoperability have been developed for Multi-Net Mobility to meet the rapidly changing needs of users as they roam between
wireless networks.
Optimized network switching is added to Multi-Net Mobility's Intelligent
Routing suite of features. When the user is in an area of overlapping
wireless network coverage, and the active network experiences weaker signal
strength, optimized network switching detects the drop in signal quality and
automatically switches to the next available network. Data packets are sent
over both networks simultaneously during the switchover to minimize lost data.
Multi-Net Mobility now interoperates with Motorola Astro Integrated Voice
and Data and Motorola High Performance Data (HPD) systems, giving customers
the ability to roam between Astro Integrated Voice and Data, High Performance
Data, MOTOMESH(TM), wireless carriers and Wi-Fi networks. This enhancement
enables virtual private networks composed of wide area and broadband coverage.
"We are excited to add these important new features to our Multi-Net
Mobility offering," comments Nick Rendone, vice president of Motorola's Data
Solutions Organization, Networks & Enterprise. "Optimized network switching
improves performance in a way that is consistent with our emphasis on
mission-critical data, and the addition of Astro Integrated Voice and Data and
High Performance Data interoperability will enable our customers to move
seamlessly between wide area and broadband data networks."
Multi-Net Mobility adds security and extends connectivity for MOTOMESH and
the family of MOTOwi4(TM) wireless broadband network solutions and supports
the Motorola Seamless Mobility strategy for public safety and government
customers. Multi-Net Mobility offers secure, interoperable, mobile broadband
to meet the needs of users on the move.
Motorola's MOTOwi4 is a portfolio of innovative wireless broadband
solutions and services that creates, complements and completes IP networks.
Delivering IP coverage to virtually all spaces, the MOTOwi4 portfolio includes
Fixed Broadband, Mesh, Broadband over Powerline, and WiMAX solutions for
