Swan Island Networks and Trusted Mobile Solutions, Inc. (tMo) Announce Strategic Alliance to Extend TIES Information Sharing Capability to Wireless Mobile

Portland, OR —July, 2008— Swan Island Networks, Inc., a recognized leader in crisis management services with everyday operational value, and Trusted Mobile Solutions™ Inc. (tMo), the provider of industry-leading products and services enabling highly secure information sharing for the wireless mobile market, today announced a strategic alliance crafted to extend the common operational picture capabilities of Swan Island’s TIES® managed service to wireless mobile devices.

TIES is a Internet service that aggregates thousands of disparate data sources—open, proprietary and sensitive—in order to provide a personally relevant, up-to-the-minute “command center” picture. Each TIES subscriber receives this information on Enterprise 2.0-style dashboards, gadgets and maps. TIES subscribers can also join in with other credentialed professionals in one of many TIES Communities of Trust—a kind of social network platform for those with professional responsibility for protecting people, property and information.

tMo’s solutions are based on the powerful back-end technology developed by Swan Island Networks, Inc., and enhanced with leading edge technology from vendors including Microsoft Corp. and Cisco, Inc., for mobile devices, wireless networks and integrated web tiers. This includes security role-based filters, device type security, transport level security based on open standards, audit trails, and geospatially based watermarking for messages sent from mobile devices. tMo’s rendering capabilities include installed client applications for Windows-OS mobile devices and mobile browsers using WPF, such as iPhones, Blackberrys and Web phones. tMo’s offerings will be provided as smart, thin client applications for mobile devices and as a hosted managed service, or as a suite of software products and services for customers’ internal networks.

“tMo leverages Swan Island Networks’ TIES’ strengths, including user authentication and authorization, data aggregation, and targeting,” said Charles Jennings, CEO of Swan Island Networks. “And, it will extend TIES by providing end-to-end security and assurance that’s far beyond anything seen in the mobile market to date. This is particularly important for anyone who has to make critical decisions in the field. It’s a way to get them the critical information they need, where and when they need it.”

“TIES is an extremely effective technology solution for Internet and IT infrastructures,” said John Ballantine, CEO of tMo. “tMo adds a key new element to this solution—the ability of information, in a highly secure form, to be communicated to mobile devices. Using TIES, tMo can deliver sensitive intelligence, security, and business continuity information, plus targeted alerts and notifications, with new methods for high-assurance mobile information sharing. Mobile users can transmit sensitive information from the field, with watermarking and other security features, so it is truly assured two-way communication.”
