It is designed for compatibility in a wide variety of network environments, and supports a number of VPN servers including those from Cisco, Nortel, and Check Point, and Pocket PC devices, including Compaq's iPAQ and Casio's Cassiopeia. AdmitOne's IPsec and IKE implementations fully conform to the latest RFCs for IPsec and IKE.

AdmitOne VPN Client for Pocket PC expands Funk Software's portfolio of access control and 802.1X security products, further strengthening the company's position in the network and wireless LAN security markets.
