Description: Atlas from Route1 delivers all your desktop computer
resources to a mobile device anywhere there is cellular,

tablets with Windows XP, each provide the functionality of
your desktop and all the applications connected to it, as
well as a cellular and IP phone. Users are persistently and

DEMO says: Too many times, mobile professionals find themselves out of
the office and in dire need of data that resides on the desk-top.
There are many good solutions for remote access to
files, and for years pcAnywhere and its ilk have provided for
remote operation of desktop apps. Still, these solutions are
often slow, and require software installs and support of IT
professionals. Route1 has a much better, faster, secure, and
very cost-competitive solution that makes every desktop appli-cation
and file accessible from Route1’s innovative hard-ware.
Route1 is the smart alternative to laptop computing.
Market Outlook: By 2005, most mobile devices will have wireless Internet
access and connect remotely, becoming extensions of larg-er
environments. According to IDC, Meta Group, and oth-ers,
Route1’s market comprising handhelds, notebook and
tablet PCs, and access infrastructure was worth $62.8B in
2003. It is expected to grow to $101.2B by 2007.
