One agent to connect to any type of wireless network, monitor mobile laptops, and manage endpoint security and connectivity software.

A Universal Wireless Client

The Extend360 Agent is a universal wireless client that makes it easy for mobile workers to connect to any type of wireless network, including Wi-Fi hotspots, mobile cellular data networks, and corporate wireless LANs.

Fiberlink's patent-pending Active Transport Notification™ technology detects all available hot spots and wireless access points within range. Mobile employees can choose any authorized connection type from a simple menu bar. A uniform logon eliminates the need for employees to remember multiple passwords and authentication procedures.

Enterprises can consolidate on one wireless agent instead of supporting multiple clients, and can reduce help desk and support costs.

“Always-On” Monitoring and Management

The Extend360 Agent runs continuously from boot-up to shut-down, monitoring connectivity and security software. Using policies received from MaaS360™, it ensures that required software is installed and running, that security patches have been received and applied, and that virus signature, DAT and configuration files are current.

It can also remediate problems, for example by restarting applications that have been turned off by the employee or by a virus.

The Extend360 Agent ensures that laptops PCs are always fully protected by the latest software and updates, even when they are in “the mobile blind spot” outside of the corporate network.

Mobile NAC

The Extend360 Agent provides Network Access Control for mobile systems: Mobile NAC.

If required software is not installed, up-to-date and running on the laptop or PC, the Extend360 Agent can take actions like:

• Notifying the employee.

• Restarting or updating applications.

• Terminating other applications (e.g. filesharing).

• Terminating Internet and VPN connections.

• Restricting non-compliant systems to specified IP addresses (e.g. the DMZ or remediation areas).

These features ensure that enterprise networks are protected from non-compliant mobile devices.
