MicroVault's NetCourier Now Delivers Encrypted Documents to Wireless Devices

Development Enables Secure Delivery of Sensitive, Interactive Documents to Wireless Devices

MicroVault Corp. has announced that documents sent by its NetCourier product can now be securely delivered to wireless and other mobile devices running Microsoft's Windows CE 3.0 operating system, such as the new Pocket PCs.

This breakthrough is valuable, particularly for corporate users, who according to Gartner are driving the sales of Compaq's iPaq Pocket PC to outpace sales of Palm devices in the quarter ending June 30.(a)

MicroVault's NetCourier allows companies to send time-sensitive and private information directly to their employees and customers as secure, interactive e-mail attachments. For instance, trade confirmations and alerts sent via NetCourier can be delivered in a bulletproof encrypted envelope. The documents can contain active URL links that return the recipient to the sender's Web site to take action on trades or to gather information.

According to Vance Gloster, director of research and development at MicroVault: "This new development allows individuals to complete entire transactions on their wireless devices. If we're talking about trades, they can view the confirmation and archive it without ever accessing their desktop PCs.

"And the capability extends beyond trade confirmations to include monthly statements or any sensitive information that a company wants to securely send to its customers or employees electronically. This is an invaluable asset for anyone who spends a lot of time on the road."

"The wireless industry is very hot -- it's growing at an explosive rate," added Nick Rini, president and CEO of MicroVault. "Not only does this move keep us out in front technologically, but it helps the industry reach its potential by providing business users and consumers with capabilities that will make their lives significantly more convenient using wireless devices."

In fact, a New York Times article noted that by 2005, as many as 500 million people -- that's one in 12 -- will have wireless devices capable of accessing the Internet.
