The Ascom Myco smartphone, one of the world’s first smartphones
purpose-built for healthcare environments, has successfully
completed the MobileIron Android Self Testing Program. This
demonstrates that the Ascom Myco supports the Google-standard
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) used by MobileIron
(NASDAQ: MOBL), the leader in mobile enterprise security.
“Successfully completing these tests underscores the suitability
of the Ascom Myco for the security-conscious healthcare sector,”
says Henrik Sandberg, Alliances Manager at Ascom Wireless
Solutions. “Among other things, it shows that IT managers and
administrators have central control over all Ascom Myco handsets in
a particular hospital or facility. For example, should an Ascom
Myco managed by MobileIron go missing, administrators can remotely
perform a complete data wipe.”
Other critical functions enabled by the APIs include device
locking, location with GPS, the remote installation of a Root
Certification Authority, and the remote enforcement of security
policies.
“These and other functions,” comments Sandberg, “give healthcare
ICT administrators the remote, centralized tools they need to
protect confidential patient data. The Ascom Myco is designed to
share healthcare information, but it is also designed to keep it
secure.”
“Ascom Myco’s successful test illustrates the accelerating
adoption of mobile devices across multiple industries,” said Jeff
Ratzlaff, Vice President, Business Development, MobileIron. “What’s
particularly exciting about the Ascom Myco is its
healthcare-specific focus. It not only runs on the open Android
system, able to support a host of healthcare apps, but it is also
compatible with the APIs we use to deliver enterprise
security.”
