(Source: PrimeNewswire)TOKYO, June 1, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ) (Nasdaq:IIJI) (TSE1:3774), one of Japan's leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, today announced the July 2009 release of the IIJ Laptop Security Solution, a new mobile security solution that helps prevent information leaks and other threats through remote operation of the security features on laptop computers on the mobile network.

This solution was developed through the agreement announced last October with Alcatel-Lucent Japan Ltd.,(1) and uses Alcatel-Lucent's OmniAccess3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian (NLG) security product and IIJ's mobile data communication service, IIJ Mobile service. The solution includes a data communications card with both GPS and UTM(2) features that connects via high-speed 3G mobile network, and a gateway server to remotely monitor and control a laptop computer's security features. This solution enables system administrators to connect to and monitor laptop computers anywhere through the data communications card, and if the computer is lost or stolen, immediate action can be taken to implement security measures and protect vital information on the computer.

This IIJ Laptop Security solution provides the following benefits.

    1. Instant remote control of laptop computers anywhere     The data communications card has its own battery, memory, CPU,     and OS, which enables independent operation even when the     computer is off. This enables instance access by the system     administrator to the computer at any time, and security     measures-such as data erasing, backups, system locks-can be     implemented 24 hours a day.   2. GPS and UTM features combined into one data communications card     Even if the computer is lost or stolen, its location can be     obtained via GPS. The laptop will not operate without the data     communications card, thus completely protecting information on     the computer. It also comes with a firewall and disk encryption     feature to protect the computer from unauthorized access and     information leaks.   3. Automatic VPN connection for simple and secure remote access     Insert the data communications card and the device automatically     selects either a 3G, wireless LAN, or LAN network environment     and establishes a VPN connection. There are no complex     operations required to establish a secure remote-access     connection to the company's network.   4. High-speed mobile data communications anywhere in the country     A high-speed mobile data communications environment is     provided using the 3G/HSDPA networik with speeds up to 7.2     Mbps.
