UK Based, Mobile Data and Remote Access Specialists, Brand Communications Limited, today announced a new software addition to it's award winning range of mobile data connectivity solutions. Brand's Apollo 'Pocket PC' transparently extends the LAN environment to any Pocket PC device, providing real-time, secure and reliable wireless connectivity for the Pocket PC mobile user.

Pocket PC's are transforming how the mobile user accesses data, interacts with customers and colleagues, and collaborates with business partners and suppliers. The Brand Apollo 'Pocket PC' connectivity solution provides real-time accessibility to business critical data giving the enterprise a competitive edge by reaching new levels of efficiency and productivity.

Brand's Apollo 'Pocket PC' solution makes mobile data a reality for business-critical data applications using Session Management. It removes the uncertainty of using the wireless network to transfer vital information and ensures compatibility with almost all data devices and networks resulting in a future-proofed investment, allowing access to all IP-based applications from the office, home or in the field.

Martin Kendrick, Brand Communications Managing Director, commented, "Mobile Devices are becoming more sophisticated and widespread. This is presenting many new possibilities for innovative organisations to capitalise on the benefits that mobile working and wireless communications have to offer. The Brand Apollo 'Pocket PC' solution now makes mobile data a reality, turning the simple pocket organiser into a very powerful business tool".

Brand gives the business user real-time access to all their critical data. The solution provides the mobile user with high-speed network access for applications such as email, internet access and LAN specific applications on the corporate network.

Brand's Apollo 'Pocket PC' solution delivers superior performance to the mobile user, by using compression techniques. Brand compresses the data being sent and received, which substantially increases connection speeds and reduces the amount of data being sent. This also results in significant cost savings. Brand can improve speeds up to tenfold, significantly improving internet access and file downloads. The performance and usability are also dramatically improved by the unique recovery protocol, which intelligently re-connects the session if the call is lost or broken.

Flexibility is one of Brand's Apollo solutions key strengths. Brand offers the mobile user all the benefits of business access computing on multiple wireless network standards - with the added benefit of high compression levels, fast packet loss recovery and dynamic switching between GPRS, GSM or other bearer networks, depending on availability during the same transaction.

Another key factor for consideration for the mobile user is Security. With Brand's enhanced security techniques, the highest level of security is offered, ensuring that only valid users can establish sessions and access applications throughout the day.

The Apollo 'Pocket PC' client seamlessly and effortlessly integrates onto the handheld device, with easy install, management and upgrades. Creating and retrieving information has never been made so simple.
