CGNET Open Mobile is an organization’s command-and-control connectivity platform. It provides a lightweight, always-on universal connection manager for seamless connectivity across iPass, customer, and third-party networks, while ensuring that security requirements are enforced and that mobility costs are controlled.

Open Mobile provides granular options for how employees connect to iPass Wi-Fi (the iPass Mobile Network), campus Wi-Fi, mobile broadband (3G/4G), Ethernet, and dial-up using a single platform to manage all connections. Open Mobile also enables cost and security controls that provide virtual private network (VPN) integration options, mobile broadband 3G/4G usage controls for both data roaming and data usage, endpoint integrity verification that checks the security of the device at the point of connection, and several additional options for setting network connection and restriction policies. User and device activity and summary reports as well as mobile broadband usage reports provide insight into an organization’s mobility usage.

CGNET offers Open Mobile Clients for Windows and Mac laptops and for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
