Choose Your Security: SSL or VPN

“Microsoft Windows Mobile has a very high level of security built into each phone. This security framework has been independently and rigorously tested.

Aton Connect for Windows Mobile utilizes this Microsoft Security Framework to offer SSL / TLS security between your Windows Mobile phone and your mainframe TN3270, midrange TN5250 or Unix/Linux server using VT220. This is end to end encryption from the instant of connection.

All passwords and data transferred between your phone and your enterprise server are encrypted enroute. This encryption is independent of and in addition to other encryption that may be provided by your wireless carrier.

Aton Connect also provides compatibility with IPSec and SSL VPN clients provided by Cisco, SonicWall, BlueFire Security, Juniper Systems and others. We are pleased to offer this much needed level of security to our customers.” Charles Wilde, CTO & Founder, Aton International, Inc.

 Aton® Connect™ for Windows Mobile Standard - Smartphone

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 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, AS 400 and UNIX/Linux servers to give you direct access to information you need.

Keyboard Only

If you have a touch screen use our Pocket PC product

The latest generation of Windows Mobile Smartphones
offer as much performance as many laptops in an easy to carry size. They generally cost less, too. Aton Connect for Windows Mobile Smartphones 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 devices including Windows Mobile 5.0. Aton Connect also support earlier versions of the Pocket PC (touchscreen) including Windows Mobile 5.

Aton Connect for Windows Mobile Smartphone 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 take 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 (go to this version) - 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 - which uses the smartphone’s built in keyboard because it doesn’t have a touch screen.
