Introducing the Birdstep Intelligent Mobile IP Client
The Birdstep Intelligent Mobile IP Client has followed an open, standards-based approach to provide seamless roaming for operators and enterprises. Experience gathered working with various customers has provided us with the know-how to improve this standards-based, VPN-agnostic roaming model. The latest version of the Birdstep Mobile IP client, based on patented ground breaking “best-of-breed” VPN design approach, allow us to maintain our tradition of supporting existing standards and any network infrastructure. Our solution also solves key issues regarding the support of 3rd party VPN solutions. The most important features requested from both network operators and enterprises have been the following:
1. Reuse of existing security mechanisms
2. Ability to turn VPNs on and off
3. Interoperability with existing deployed infrastructures
4. Support for NAT Traversal based on the IETF standards and Cisco's implementation
5. Automatic configuration of the client to simplify large-scale deployment
