This contrasts with units of storage where 1 Kb = 1024 bits (note upper case K). . "Completing the necessary testing for the @Road iWM product's use on EDGE is a testament to our aggressive product research and development program as well as our ability to bring new and innovative MRM solutions to the marketplace that can help businesses gain visibility into field force productivity, reduce service delivery costs and increase revenue," said Leo Leo, in astronomy Leo [Lat.,=the lion], northern constellation lying S of Ursa Major and on the ecliptic (apparent path of the sun through the heavens) between Cancer and Virgo; it is one of the constellations of the zodiac. Jolicoeur, @Road chief marketing officer. "While final certification and general availability of the @Road iWM 3150 is expected this summer, we have authorization for one of our customers to begin installing and using our MRM solution on Cingular's high-speed EDGE network."

Unlike a typical public access point, the iWM wireless access point is fortified fortified (fôrt adj containing additives more potent than the principal ingredient. with 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) An IEEE standard security protocol for wireless 802.11 networks. Introduced in 1997, WEP was found to be very inadequate and was superseded by WPA, WPA2 and 802.11i. encryption and MAC address filtering to help protect sensitive data during communication sessions. The @Road iWM 3150 also incorporates GPS technology, enabling businesses to obtain real-time location information of mobile resources in the field. "As a leading provider of MRM solutions designed to improve field force productivity, we understand that organizations need to provide their mobile workers with secure, high-speed access to critical enterprise information," Jolicoeur said. "We expect to meet this growing need through a robust new product pipeline. This pipeline includes the product testing and approvals for an @Road iWM device that operates over high-speed EVDO (Evolution Data Optimized) wireless networks."
