NetMotion Wireless has released the latest update of their Mobile VPN Software. Version 8.51 of Mobility XE(TM) can now support character sets from many languages including French, German, Italian, Spanish, and most other European languages. That means that IT admins and end users can use their native languages for user names, passwords and more. Additionally, the new release has support for Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and 2005 SP3.

“Many European languages include characters that are not supported by the basic English character set and most products built for the United States market ignore this fact or deal with it poorly,” said Pam Cory, vice president of marketing, NetMotion Wireless. “The new Mobility XE allows IT managers and mobile workers outside the U.S. to use the same character set they use every day. We’re committed to serving the European market, and we believe this new product enhancement will better serve business and government agencies looking for a best-in-class Mobile VPN solution.”

According to the company:

Around the globe, more than 350,000 mobile workers use NetMotion’s Mobility XE to mitigate some of the most common challenges in mobile deployments today, including application stability as users move in and out of wireless coverage areas, and seamless roaming between Wi-Fi and wide-area cellular networks. In addition, the company provides advanced security and network management controls that extend corporate security policies to mobile devices, while also allowing customers to utilize their existing mobile investments to reliably deploy real-time applications such as Voice over IP (VoIP) and streaming video.

Purpose-built for the enterprise, RoamAnywhere uniquely offers high availability, redundancy, security, enterprise scalability, and the industry’s broadest mobile handset and IP-PBX support. It works with all cellular networks, and natively integrates with enterprises’ existing equipment, including WLAN infrastructure and directory stores.

Unique in the industry, Agito’s new RoamAnywhere release introduces automatic location and context-enhanced enterprise presence functionality, intelligently mobilizing Unified Communications by extending users’ full presence state based on mobile context to users. The RoamAnywhere Presence solution integrates natively with existing enterprise presence servers, such as Microsoft OCS 2007, and provides mobile workers with the ability to determine the presence for any employee in the enterprise, including desk-bound workers using the native Microsoft Communicator application.
