iPhone 3G

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support.

If your office uses Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or 2007, iPhone 2.0 software allows you to wirelessly push company email, calendar events, and contacts to iPhone over a 128-bit encrypted SSL connection. With secure push email and over-the-air contacts and calendar features, users can stay up to date wherever they go. And thanks to the iPhone Multi-Touch display, they’ll find it easier to perform common tasks such as accepting meeting invitations and finding contacts in the company directory or Global Address List (GAL).

IT administrators can securely manage any iPhone that contains confidential company information using remote wipe and enforced security and password policies. These device configuration and remote management capabilities allow IT departments to quickly and seamlessly deploy iPhone throughout their companies.

Enterprise-grade networking.

iPhone 2.0 software supports Cisco IPSec VPN to ensure the highest level of IP-based encryption for transmission of sensitive company information. Employees can authenticate via password, two-factor token, or digital certificate. iPhone also supports WPA2 Enterprise with 802.1X authentication — the standard for Wi-Fi network protection. These features help provide safe access to company information on iPhone.

Device configuration.

Deploying iPhone across an enterprise is easy with iPhone 2.0 software. Corporate passcode policies and settings can be set via Configuration Profiles created and distributed by your IT administrator. In addition, Configuration Profiles can be used to remotely configure your company’s VPN, email, and wireless network settings, making each iPhone secure and ready for business. Configuration Profiles can also be used to install certificates on iPhone for authentication to Cisco IPSec VPN servers, 802.1X-based wireless networks, Exchange servers, and other corporate services. For users, installing a Configuration Profile is as easy as tapping a secure web link or receiving an email with the Configuration Profile attached.

Configuration Profiles can be created easily using iPhone Configuration Utility, a stand-alone application for the desktop. Download iPhone Configuration Utility.
