TORONTO, ON – September 6, 2006
– 01 Communique Laboratory Inc. (TSX: ONE - www.01com.com), today announced a new release of its
remote access service, I’m InTouch. With I’m InTouch
Version 5.5, users can install I’m InTouch in stealth
mode, and implement it on their home computer as a child
monitoring tool. Stealth mode provides parents with the
ability to control their child’s computer and Internet
activities, regardless of whether the parent is home or
not.
When I’m InTouch is running in
stealth mode, parents can periodically log in and view
what their children are doing on the home computer,
without alerting their child. “I’m InTouch’s
stealth mode feature was implemented as a direct
consequence of feedback from our users, who are finding
new and innovative ways of utilizing remote access
software, ” says Andrew Cheung, President and CEO of
01 Communique. “Although the Internet is a useful tool
for communications, to not make provisions for the
safety of one’s children can have severe consequences.
Reactive control is no longer sufficient; parents are
proactively discussing prevalent online threats with
their children, and are establishing rules of acceptable
online conduct. I’m InTouch can assist parents in
ensuring that their children are adhering to these
rules.”
Another new feature included in
I’m InTouch Version 5.5 is folder transfer. Users can
now copy entire folders across computers, by dragging
and dropping folders between the two computers. Also,
Pocket PC users running Windows Mobile 5.0 can securely
login to their PC running I’m InTouch to remotely
control their PC’s desktop, use their proprietary
business applications, send and receive email and access
their networks. Each session is encrypted with 128-bit
SSL end-to-end encryption to ensure protection of all
data.
“The release of Version 5.5 is an important landmark for our remote access software,” said Cheung. “The implementation of features such as child monitoring demonstrate that remote access technologies are no longer limited to the business arena; rather, they are gaining increasing popularity in the home as well. We are therefore continuing our commitment to make a secure, easy to use and affordable remote access solution that can by utilized by both our professionals and home users.”
