"Certicom Corp. (TSX: CIC), the authority for strong, efficient cryptography, today announced that Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR - TSX: SW) has embedded movianVPN(TM) by Certicom into its VoqMail(TM) Professional Edition (VoqMail Pro) wireless e-mail solution, offered for the new Voq Professional Phone(TM). As an embedded feature that supports multiple VPN gateways, the solution is designed to offer IT managers minimal administration and a better return on their existing security infrastructure investment. Based on the Microsoft Windows Mobile(TM) software for Smartphones, the Voq Professional Phone was developed specifically for enterprise users and mobile professionals. The product is designed to offer vital business applications, such as e-mail, and strong security for sensitive and confidential information."

I think anything that promotes security on a wireless device is great news. However, I am getting tired of hearing about all the features being added to the Voq. Just release the phone already.

I might add that movianVPN was not helpful in getting their software to work on the Pocket PC with our VPN at my office. We sent them questions and got no response, so we couldn't get our PocketPCs on our internal network.
