Aton Turns On Mobile 'Green Screens' - InformationWeek




Aton International have introduced two pieces of software system that bend Windows Mobile River telephones into "green screen"-like terminuses for accessing and waiter data.


Aton Connect for Windows Mobile River River Professional and Aton Connect for Windows Mobile Standard v8.1 promise unafraid entree to IBM System z and AS/400 systems, as well as Unix and endeavor servers, using a 640-KB client and an enterprise's existent terminal-emulation infrastructure. No new or services-oriented is required, the company said Thursday, unlike Web-to-host applications, which necessitate some kind of Web waiter to acquire information out to the mobile telephone browser.


The mobile terminus copycat is intended for users in sales, client service, system administration, transportation, retail, and manufacturing. Both versions are priced at $36 per device; endeavor licences are also available.


Aton was also speedy to stress the security facets of its new software, offering both Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Crystalline Layer Security between a Windows Mobile River device and a mainframe computer TN3270 session, midrange TN5250, or Unix/Linux waiter using VT220.


"All watchwords and information transferred between your telephone and your endeavor waiter are encrypted en route," Aton CTO Prince Charles Oscar Wilde said in a statement. "This encoding is independent of and in improver to other that may be provided by your radio carrier."


Aton Connect also is compatible with and SSL VPN clients from Bluefire Security, Cisco, Juniper, SonicWall, and other vendors, Aton said.


The software system enables full-screen and even a full terminal-emulation soft keyboard on touch-screen telephones like the Palm Treo 700wx and Dash Touch. Both Aton clients also offer cutoffs for non-touch silver screens and on-the-fly session switching, allowing users to entree both host waiter and corporate or the Internet without having to go out a program. An incoming telephone phone phone call sets the user's information session in the background, where it can be retrieved after the call.
