OpenHand

Mobile Email

OpenHand deploys both push and pull technologies to enable real-time wireless access to GroupWise email, calendar, contacts, tasks and local folders. OpenHand's combined advanced compression and latency reduction technology provides very fast download speeds and extremely low mobile data charges.

OpenHand wireless email is highly secure supporting SSL and applying the highest recognized level of encryption - Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) - to safeguard all data transferred. And because OpenHand connects live to your server, no information needs to be stored on the mobile device - so if the device is lost or stolen, your data isn't. OpenHand puts you in charge. It is compatible with most PDA's, laptops and smartphones (client software for Nokia 9300/9500 and MS Smartphone now available), so there is no need to purchase extra dedicated devices with limited functionality. And OpenHand mobile email supports the most widely available wireless network protocols everywhere- worldwide, including GSM, GPRS and even the Iridium satellite network. In fact any IP connection will do - it even works on dial-up.

The OpenHand server software is simple and non-intrusive - no changes to the GroupWise mail server are required. The client software is also designed for ease of use with an interface that matches the device. OpenHand is highly cost effective. With just a one-off licence payment or on a monthly leasing model the costs of OpenHand wireless email are transparent.

The operations office for the government body in Iceland chose OpenHand as its preferred solution for business on the go. "Our main interest lies in the fact that no data is stored on the device" says Gudmundur H. Kjærnested, manager at the operations office.
