Radio IP Software Expands its Portfolio of Mission-Critical Solutions with the Acquisition of ipUnplugged

Leading Mobile VPN company increases breadth of products, enhances presence in European markets

MONTREAL, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Radio IP Software, Inc., North American leader in mission-critical Mobile VPN solutions today announced that it has acquired ipUnplugged AB, a Stockholm, Sweden-based developer of network services software for seamless and secure roaming across public and government LANs, WLANs, 3G (GSM-GPRS/EDGE/HSPA, CDMA-EVDO) and 4G (Mobile WiMAX, LTE) wireless networks.

Under the terms of the transaction, Radio IP Software has purchased the assets of ipUnplugged AB which include the ipUnplugged(TM) product portfolio featuring its Mobile Client, Roaming Client, Roaming Gateway and Roaming Server software as well as intellectual property including source code technology, trademarks and pending-patents. The ipUnplugged products are sold directly and via authorized resellers typically for government-sector contracts in Europe, North America and around the world.

Radio IP Software's focus since 1998 has been to provide wireless solutions to mission-critical mobile workforce organizations, primarily in the public safety and utilities sectors. Although the company's roots are in North America, the catalyst for its expansion into European markets was in 2006, when the company enhanced its flagship product Radio IP MTG(TM) and developed it to operate over TETRA networks.

"The acquisition of ipUnplugged is one more step in building Radio IP Software's worldwide focus in Mobile VPN technology for mission-critical organizations and in strengthening our European presence," said Michel Guay, President and CEO of Radio IP Software.

"Moreover, we are observing unique business requirements stemming from mobile government/public sector customers and their IT managers. By integrating ipUnplugged in Radio IP Software's product portfolio, we are in a better position to respond to customer demands and provide the most complete and appropriate solutions to our focused market segments."

Designed using the Mobile IP standard communications protocol and including the IPSec security standards, ipUnplugged is the most cost-effective and easy-to-use Mobile VPN for mobile government professionals accessing protected enterprise assets from any IP network, including the Local Area Network (LAN). The Radio IP MTG product is optimized to meet the unique requirements of emergency responders who require reliable access to critical applications while roaming across multiple wireless coverage areas and technologies.

Radio IP Software is committed to supporting the existing ipUnplugged product line and will pursue development and sales activities. Further enhancements to the ipUnplugged product line will be implemented based on customer and partner feedback. Government VARs and IT Integrators are invited to reach out to Radio IP Software for ipUnplugged partnership and sales opportunities.

"The Mobile VPN industry continues to consolidate its players. This transaction represents the best of both worlds for existing ipUnplugged users, who are now able to benefit from the fact that the new owner of their reliable, enterprise-class Mobile VPN technology investment has a proven customer-service success record and industry reputation," said Mr. Geir Kalleberg, Product Director at Datametrix Corporation, a long-time ipUnplugged reseller.

"We are pleased to be collaborating with Radio IP Software in order to offer our customers a complete mobility solution. In this industry, word-of-mouth and customer satisfaction is a driving force for sales. We have referenceable customers utilizing the ipUnplugged software with operations reaching from North Cape (Norway) to New York and Singapore. By working with Radio IP Software, we continue to meet the needs of mobile workforces such as these who require easy and secure access to corporate systems."
