Taking You Beyond Windows 7 Connectivity

Windows 7 will become the flagship laptop operating system for most enterprises over the next year or two, with many organizations planning or even starting their migrations.  iPass has built its Open Mobile Client on the foundation of Windows 7 native capabilities to help enterprises create their own universal mobility solutions.

Microsoft Windows 7 introduces new productivity, security and connectivity features that many organisations may look to take advantage of.  Open Mobile augments the connectivity improvements in Windows 7 in order to offer the user an unparalleled connection experience while providing full visibility into and control over that experience to enterprise IT team. 

Specifically, while Windows 7 continues to simplify the basic act of associating to a wireless network, the Open Mobile Client can be centrally configured to automatically connect the user to the best available network, whether Wi-Fi, 3G, or Ethernet, through its Smart Network Selection functionality, combined with policy enforcement and automatic VPN launch.  It thus takes the complexity of technology and network choices away from the user, reducing to the time-to-benefit and increasing productivity.   
 
While it performs Smart Network Selection across all network connections, when the  Open Mobile Client is used specifically with the iPass Mobile Network, it also provides a seamless and secure authentication using common credentials across  more than 140,000 commercial Wi-Fi hotspot and hotel Ethernet broadband venues, ensuring users need not get involved with payment transactions, credentials management and walled garden navigation when connecting on the go.
