Stockholm 7 February 2001 - Columbitech, the wireless technology company specialising in solutions for secure wireless data communications, announce their partnership agreement with Corporate Portal supplier LINQ. The companies intend to mutually develop and offer integrated solutions on the international market.

Columbitech´s technology creates secure wireless data transmissions for web based Intranets, corporate portals, as developed and marketed by LINQ.

"Our collaboration with LINQ will enable corporations to reap the tangible benefits of mobile Internet by making corporate information accessible to employees whenever they need it, wherever they are working", said Pontus Bergdahl, General Manager Columbitech.

A Corporate Portal is a software solution that provides employees with fast, accurate and personalized management information, wherever they are working. The Corporate Portal becomes the place where knowledge workers carry out their daily tasks - a workspace, which is designed to fit the individual needs and contain the specific information and features each worker uses to achieve their maximum potential. As many mobile workers will access the Portal via a wireless device, to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information it is crucial to secure the mobile connection and transmission.

"LinqPortal and LinqMobilizer increase the return on investment from every Knowledge Worker by maximizing their personal productivity. LINQ also recognize that this productivity must be maintained for the mobile worker as well as the office based employee. Columbitech´s powerful platform creates a secure bridge for business information from the Corporate Portal to mobile devices. Our cooperation ensures the critical balance of productivity and security for employees on the move", said Lars Eriksson, Product Partner Manager at LINQ.
