About the NOMADIX Network Service Engine (NSE)

More than 50 million mobile enterprise users carry laptops and hand-held computers
as they move about. Network equipment manufacturers must eliminate the concerns
of security and connectivity that are associated with a mobile workforce. Nomadix
developed an embedded software mobility solution called the Network Service
Engine (NSE), creating a robust networking environment where connectivity
problems and concerns about security are things of the past.
Nomadix licenses the NSE to makers of edge
networking devices such as wireless access points,
routers, switches, and residential gateways.
Some of the NSE's key product offerings include:
Transparent Connectivity
! ! ! !
Our patented Dynamic Address Translation™ (DAT™) technology provides
mobile users with transparent broadband network connectivity—no need for
changes to their computer's settings, and no need for any special client-side
software. By simply adapting to the user (instead of the user adapting to the
network), the NSE ensures that everyone gets effortless access to any
enterprise, residential, or public-access broadband network.
Policy-based Traffic Shaping
! ! ! !
The NSE caps bandwidth usage on a per device basis ensuring equitable
distribution of bandwidth in networks that are heavily congested. The
bandwidth for each device can be defined asymmetrically for both upstream
and downstream data transmissions, allowing efficient bandwidth utilization
across the entire network.
Network-based Security
! ! ! !
The NSE utilizes SSL to deliver Web-based user authentication that is
secure, efficient, transport agnostic (wireless and wired), and low cost. Our
Web-based model standardizes authentication across multiple vendors and
network types.
