BACKGROUND:
Radio IP Software specializes in delivering innovative Mobile Virtual Private Networks (also known as Mobile VPN or MVPN) and mobile security solutions to small and large enterprises, as well as military, public safety, utilities, transportation, and government agencies with mission-critical or business-critical communication requirements. Its solutions provide mobile, secure, and real-time access to a wide range of applications and networks. Radio IP Software supports all IP and non-IP networks and delivers seamless connectivity and robust security.
