TRUST DIGITAL EXPANDS ITS
ENTERPRISE MOBILITY MANAGEMENT PLATFORM INTO THE U.S. ARMY
Company Adds Board Member and Strategic Investment from OnPoint Technologies
McLean, Virginia – July 29, 2009 – Trust Digital, the leader in enterprise mobility management (EMM) for smartphones, today announced that Jason Rottenberg, managing director of OnPoint Technologies, has joined Trust Digital’s board of directors following a strategic investment by the fund. Mr. Rottenberg has spent the last 12 years founding, building and funding early-stage technology companies. This new strategic investment will be used to expand Trust Digital’s customer base to include every branch of the military.
Mobility is an essential part of the U.S. Army doctrine; Trust Digital’s mobility management technology can benefit the over 1+ million soldiers currently serving in this military branch. Trust Digital completed its first sale into the U.S. Department of Defense in 2006, and now the Trust Digital EMM platform will help the U.S. Army meet their mobility objectives and enhance the usefulness of existing mobile devices through improved performance.
“We are constantly looking for innovative companies with products and technology that strengthens the readiness of the U.S. Army,” commented Jason Rottenberg, managing director of OnPoint Technologies. “Trust Digital’s technology has already demonstrated – through deployments with the Air Force and Marines – that it can address a wide variety of mobile applications for the military, from helping deliver situation awareness to Marines on the battlefield to delivering secure mobile email to U.S. airmen. We believe that the U.S. Army can leverage those same capabilities.”
Because the U.S. military is one of the largest mobile workforces in the country, the smartphone and ruggedized mobile device security and management needs of each military branch are extremely varied and complex. The Trust Digital EMM platform has demonstrated that it has the flexibility and sophistication to meet the unique needs of each branch of service as shown below:
- In tactical battlefield situations, government agencies like the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) turned to Trust Digital to help secure and manage ruggedized D-DACT devices for blue force situational awareness. These devices are currently used by dismounted Marine infantry company, platoon commanders, squad and fire team leaders for situational awareness, command and control, navigation, basic mission planning and electronic messaging.
- The U.S. Air Force relies on Trust Digital to meet the rigorous standards set forth in the Defense Information Systems Agency's (DISA) Wireless Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG). With Trust Digital, the Windows Mobile devices used by many Air Force commands meet the rigorous standards set forth in the STIG, including required actions for when a device is lost or stolen, smartcard authenticated login procedures using a Common Access Card (CAC) to unlock a wireless email device and Bluetooth functionality security.
“Our mobility management capabilities will enable US military, one of the most mobile organization in the world, to use the latest handheld technologies to best serve the warfighter, regardless of the application,” said Nick Magliato, chief executive officer at Trust Digital. “The advice, guidance, analysis and assistance that we will receive from the OnPoint team will further our efforts to serve the U.S. Army and Department of Defense and fuel our successes in that market.”
