Trellia Awarded Patent for Unified Control of Mobile Access

Montreal, Canada, December 8th, 2009 – Trellia Networks (www.trellia.com), a leading provider of enterprise mobile policy management (MPM) software, today announced it was awarded a patent for its mobile connectivity solution by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The patent covers Trellia's ability to consolidate and automate control of connectivity for a mobile device across LAN, Wi-Fi and 3G networks. USPTO Patent# 7,620,065 was issued November 17th, 2009.

“We are thrilled to be awarded this patent and about the continuing validation we receive from our customers”, says Giovanni Forte, Trellia's co-founder & CEO. “Mobility will continue to be amongst the fastest growing areas in enterprise IT and this patent positions us to capitalize on the opportunity to be a leader in this market”.

The technology covered by this patent forms the basis of Trellia's unique mobile policy management platform that empowers enterprises with centralized control and real-time visibility of network access for their mobile workers. Trellia developed its MPM platform to address the mobile access challenge that enterprises face from an increasingly mobile workforce that relies on a heterogeneous mix of networks outside corporate IT's control. Many enterprises are struggling to simultaneously provide mobile workers the most flexibility possible, while controlling the cost, security and compliance implications of mobile access.

“With mobile operations now critical to so many people in so many different organizations, the need to extend operational management all the way to the mobile device is essential for security, integrity, cost control, and many other elements of mobility,” says Craig Mathias, a Principal with the wireless mobile advisory firm Farpoint Group. “Despite the obvious need, however, management solutions are often fragmented, and enterprise operations are traditionally segmented among traditional IT and telecom silos, thus yielding suboptimal results. By integrating mobile and wireless technologies under a single umbrella, Trellia's solution makes it easy for enterprises to manage all aspects of how their mobile workers get connected”.

Export Development Canada, an early Trellia customer, deployed the solution as part of its standard mobile platform for employees worldwide. “When we decided to enable our entire global workforce to be mobile we realized that we needed a way to simplify how mobile access is managed across a host of public networks and 3G providers”, says Dave McNulty, Manager Telecom & Network Infrastructure at EDC. “Trellia's ability to provide us one, central point of control made it easy for IT, and its ability to automate access on the end-point made it easy for our end-users.”

“Executives responsible for corporate mobility are challenged to balance the skyrocketing cost of an increasingly mobile workforce while optimizing productivity and ensuring security of corporate data” said Giovanni Forte, Trellia co-founder and CEO. “For the first time, best-in-class mobile organizations can strike that balance through a single point of visibility and control.”
