Smith Micro Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMSI) a developer and marketer of a wide range of software products and services for the wireless market, announced its newest release of QuickLink(R) Mobile Enterprise mobility connection manager for PCs.

As wireless use increases within leading domestic and international companies, corporations are faced with the nearly impossible task of overseeing employee wireless access from many different points. Today many enterprise companies use multiple wireless carriers, multiple network connections, and across multiple wireless devices to provide remote access connectivity for their mobile workforce. In response to this increasing administrative demand and the need for wireless security compliance within large enterprise companies, Smith Micro has released QuickLink Mobile Enterprise version 5.3 with support for WPA, WPA 2, a broad range of 802.1x security protocols, and now most recently 802.1x FAST.
QuickLink Mobile Enterprise supports advanced industry security protocols including 802.1x wireless LAN authentication compliant methods EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS and MS-PEAP, WPA, WPA2, and now FAST. This release provides IT with a single-point access to control the company-wide secure wireless LAN.
QuickLink Mobile Enterprise supports today's multiple broadband wireless networks to connect via 1xRTT/EV-DO or GPRS/EDGE/UMTS or HSDPA to a carrier's wireless network. In addition, the application can be set to connect to a company's virtual private network (VPN). QuickLink Mobile Enterprise supports a wide variety of the leading VPNs from Microsoft, Cisco, Lucent, Checkpoint, AT&T and Nortel.
"We first introduced QuickLink Mobile Enterprise during the CTIA conference last year and the response from customers and our rapidly growing prospect list indicates a growing need for this solution in the enterprise space," said William W. Smith, Jr., President and CEO of Smith Micro Software. "Today's mobility users can rely on secure, wireless connections just as if they were connected behind their corporate firewalls."
Advanced administration and security features of QuickLink Mobile Enterprise provide today's large organizations with true configuration control. The IT manager concerned with security can designate to select or automatically launch a connection to the company's VPN. Other Configuration Tools are available to lock and hide rights to the application's features, to set defaults for user preferences, to track network usage with IntelliTracker(TM), to track application serial numbers, to create custom reports such as employee usage and track their wireless connection traffic.
