Ever get the feeling when looking at new technology that something is just not right? This "uneasiness" struck a few months ago when Route1 demonstrated the MobiBook, a laptop-like device aimed at road warriors and that provides secure remote control of your office computer, applications and files. The concept makes sense because it allows mobile employees to access their office  PC without having any data on their mobile device - a huge selling point for any company worried about security. The issue with the MobiBook, however, was the appeal - or lack thereof - of having to buy a new $1500 piece of hardware when most mobile workers already had laptops. It seemed like a show-stopper. But Route1 has creatively resolved this hurdle with the MobiKey, which looks like a USB-powered flash storage device. Once the MobiKey is plugged into a laptop or PC, it provides the same secure, wireless connection as the MobiBook for a lot less money upfront. For CIOs and CTOs looking for a way to provide employees with out-of-office access to data, Route1's technology looks like an interesting option. The Toronto-based company's business model is based on a monthly fee of C$25. There are data transfer limitations and all traffic goes though Route1's NOC in Toronto.
