Aton® Connect for Windows Mobile Professional - Pocket PC
The Mobile Browser for Enterprise Systems
New Version 8.1, Build 3011 available for download.
Now with native SSL and better integration with major VPNs
Aton Connect for Windows Mobile Professional (Pocket PC)
is a low cost, easy to install mobile browser for information stored on your host mainframe or mid-range servers. Access the latest data directly from the
server just like you do on your desktop using terminal emulation.
Instead of a web browser which uses the HTTP communication protocol to talk to Apache or IIS web servers, Aton Connect uses variations of the TELNET protocol
to communicate directly with enterprise servers. TN3270, TN5250, or VT220 data stream formats substitute for HTML to access IBM mainframe (IBM System z), AS/400 (IBM System i) and
UNIX/Linux servers to give you direct access to information you need. Download your 30 day trial copy today (see left sidebar.)
Awesome New Windows Mobile Phones for Business
The latest generation of Windows Mobile phones offer as much performance as many laptops in an easy to carry size. They generally cost less, too.
Aton Connect for Windows Mobile Pocket PC installs easily on your phone so you can get more work done wherever you have a phone connection.
Access and update enterprise data just by opening the program file on your phone. There is no need for IT to buy expensive new server software or get time consuming host programming
changes done.
It works with a wide range of Windows Mobile phones and PDAs. Aton Connect also supports other versions of the Pocket PC, including
Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 2003.
Aton Connect for Windows Mobile works by connecting to your company’s existing host access servers using terminal emulation
. The software combines a .NET component connecting to the host via terminal emulation with a user interface that looks like the screen of a host server
terminal, either TN3270 (IBM System z or zSeries), TN5250 (IBM System i or iSeries) or VT220 (Linux/Unix Telnet). The screen looks very similar to
the desktop terminal emulator you already use. Aton Connect lets you take advantage of the infrastructure your company already has and takes it mobile.
We offer two versions of our product (How to tell which kind of device you have.):
- Aton Connect for Windows Mobile Pocket PC - for touch screen cell phones with a choice of a soft keyboard
(displayed on the screen) or using the device’s built in keyboard if it has one, and
- Aton Connect for Windows Mobile Smartphone (go to this version) - which uses the smartphone’s built in keyboard
because it doesn’t have a touch screen.

seamlessly with the Windows Mobile system to allow messages and voice phone calls to pop up in front of the host session screen. Once you have finished the call or
task, you can go back to the session still running in the background.
