Columbitech Mobile VPN for Android 4.0

Columbitech Mobile VPN is the first complete mobile VPN  for Android 4.0. It removes the security risks associated with the Android platform, enabling organizations to fully leverage their mobile investments to increase productivity.

Strong security with FIPS 140-2 validation

The mobile VPN establishes an authenticated, encrypted tunnel, enabling mobile users to securely access applications and network resources residing on the corporate network via a public network. Columbitech's VPN solution is FIPS 140-2 validated and designed for compliance with SOX, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.

Session persistence

Columbitech Mobile VPN supports both wired and wireless connections but is built to provide optimal performance for mobile users who constantly move around and roams between different wireless networks. Unlike traditional VPNs, it provides session persistence and transaction recovery as the device roams or loses coverage – with no lost data, time-consuming restarts of applications or repeat login procedures. 

Advanced data compression

Advanced data compression with up to 100 percent increased throughput compared to SSL and IP Sec VPN is another large benefit for mobile users. It significantly improves the performance over networks with limited bandwidth.
