with industry-standard SSL encryption to securely push e-mail,
calendar and contact notifications to and from the device.

Through central device management tools included with Exchange
Server, IT managers can trigger a remote wipe that removes all
of the Exchange data from the device. This new security
feature will help to ensure corporate data is not compromised
when devices are lost or fall into the wrong hands.
-- Global Address List (GAL)
Mobile professionals can access their company address book,
also known as GAL, over the air when composing e-mail
messages. This feature is especially helpful when sending
e-mails to colleagues while away from the office.
-- Additional Data Compression
The RoadSync client communicates with the Exchange Server 2003
(SP2) providing a list of supported data formats. In return
the server intelligently responds to the request with a
compressed data format (when available) that the device can
use. This translates in a faster experience when sending and
receiving messages, less data usage and reduced sync times.
