The role of IT in pandemic planning is largely delivering remote access to your systems & maintaining communications with staff and customers.

Secure Access for roaming users directly into your private network

If users are accessing your network through a Netforce Private Network there is no need to be concerned about the security of data travelling between the home computer and the office network: by definition this data is secure within the private network. Of course, one must concede it may not always be economical to roll out DSL to every staff member, particularly to suit an ad-hoc telecommuting need. And what of roaming users - sales people on the go, or top executives who are regularly travelling interstate?

Netforce 3G Solutions are an economical alternative delivering all the mobility & flexibility you need, without sacrificing on security. Netforce 3G connections can link directly into your private network. This means no confidential information is being transmitted over the internet. For the first time, user rights, company internet access policies, and profiles used on your office network can be automatically applied to the 3G connections.

3G connectivity provides the ultimate in mobile connectivity for your workforce. 3G solutions are a cost effective option which could give your workforce the capability to either work from home, while on the move, or from a remote site without alternative infrastructure.

Netforce 3G Roam
Whether it’s for your sales team, the executive on the move or an economical means of allowing your team to work from home, this 3G solution can be delivered by inserting a traditional SIM card into a laptop or via a small USB modem. You may even choose to keep a number of these cards in stock – to allocate to the workforce for short periods as required, to work from home or while travelling.

Netforce 3G Site
A 3G router solution, for sites or offices without copper infrastructure. When the projects done or shows finished and its time to relocate – switch off, switch on at the new site and you're online again. No connection or relocation fees attached.

Netforce 3G Data plans can be purchased for individual cards or bought as one bulk lot to be allocated across all cards in the organisation – safeguarding against excess data charges, and catering for different levels of data usage between users.

Our five day trials allow you to test whether the Netforce 3G Roam coverage meets your needs.

Of course, there is still a need to ensure viruses and other malware running on home PCs do not infect the office network. See our piece: How do you manage PCs and laptops remotely?
