Vancouver, BC, Canada – June  7, 2011 – In Motion Technology, a leader in mobile networking technologies that efficiently connect and manage equipment, information and people in the field, today announced Sprint’s certification of the onBoard™ Mobile Gateway for use on Sprint 4G.

Using Sprint 4G where available, the Gateway enables organizations to quickly and easily deploy multiple high-bandwidth applications including real time video, voice, and data to their vehicle fleets.  The Gateway consolidates traffic over the best available network, and IT teams are able to support the mobile workforce remotely, reducing IT and communications costs.  Mobile workers can effectively collaborate with dispatchers and fleet operations translating into faster response times, and improved customer satisfaction. Already in service with more than 300 first responder, transit and utility organizations, the Gateway turns each vehicle into a secure mobile branch office helping to ensure that the right information is sent to the right place at the right time, increasing the efficiency of the entire mobile workforce.

In Motion’s patented Mobile Wireless Hot Spot System (US Patent #7,382,771) turns each vehicle into a secure, mobile communications hotspot and is at the heart of the Gateway.   This mobile hotspot enables laptops, VoIP handsets/clients, IP cameras, medical devices, tablets, automated license plate readers, PDAs, printers, scanners, and mobile data terminals to communicate securely and reliably over any wired or wireless network in and around the vehicle.  Designed specifically for the mobile environment, the Gateway allows policies to be set on a link by link basis for firewalls, encryption and secure IP mobility technology.

Wayne Ward, vice president of emerging solutions, Sprint, added, “Sprint’s open approach to expanding the M2M ecosystem, flexible and robust networks, and proven ability to execute solutions helps partners and customers benefit from M2M opportunities.
