Government

The public sector has particular requirements for wireless capabilities, especially around issues of security, reliability and scalability. When implemented correctly, mobility solutions can help the government to respond faster and more effectively. However, this should never happen at the expense of security. Sun's architectures are designed to support police and military requirements for secure wireless transmissions. Sun servers and Sun Open Net Environment (Sun ONE) software can provide higher up time essential to real-time wireless applications for emergency response, fire and safety, and military. Highly scalable architectures help ensure support for the thousands of users who interact with these systems.

Government applications can include:

• Mobile access to email and PIM functions from multiple back end email clients
• Asset tracking in military and other government departments - location of vehicles, capital equipment and personnel
• Paper-based form replacement - complete forms on mobile devices and upload them to servers, increasing efficiency and accuracy of records
• Public access to information - reduce the load on call centers by enabling information to be accessed by the public from any device, anywhere
