French companies seek to address security issues

Two French security contractors are preparing to dive into the mobile security space after the revelation of widespread government surveillance in 2013. The companies have identified a need for comprehensive security solutions in the mobile space, but are not only looking to mitigate government surveillance. There are made threats in the mobile world that extend well beyond the issue of surveillance, especially as mobile commerce becomes more popular. Both companies believe they can address these issues effectively in the near future.

Bull launches new mobile solution for businesses

Bull SA is one of the companies entering into the mobile security space. The company has launched a new mobile-centric solution for businesses called Hoox m2. The solution is available for the Android platform and has been engineered with hackers in mind. It is meant to secure communications made over mobile devices and remove the need for business professionals to speak in “unnecessary coded language.”

Thales aims to make business and personal communications safer

Thales SA, a defense contractor owned by the French government, is also breaking into the mobile security space. The firm has released an enterprise solution called Teopad. The solution is meant to make a digital mirror image of whatever device it is used on. One of the instances created by Teopad will be used for personal communications while the other will be used for business purposes. The business instance will be secured by Teopad’s encryption so as to prevent sensitive information from being stolen.

Businesses fall behind when it comes to mobile security

Mobile security is quickly becoming a top priority for businesses. Mobile technology has grown quite important to consumers and many businesses have fallen behind in terms of ensuring that they are secure against the threats that exist in the mobile space. Both Bull and Thales believe they can offer businesses solutions that can help them catch up to the growing popularity of mobile technology and protect themselves against malicious groups and mobile exploitation.

This latest version of the device is lighter, more compact, and produces twice the number of prints.

LG has now developed a new version of its mobile printer, the Pocket Photo 2.0, that is being applauded a s a considerable improvement over the design and capabilities of its predecessor.

This device has improved on several different levels over the one that came before it.

The Pocket Photo 2.0 mobile printer is lighter than the first one, is more compact, which makes it easier to carry around, but it will also print twice the number of photos that its predecessor was capable of producing. For every charge, this little machine is capable of printing thirty prints. Furthermore, the developers have been able to shave a half hour off its charge time.

The mobile printer may be an LG device, but it is compatible with several operating systems.

The LG Pocket Photo 2.0 is compatible with Android, iOS, and Microsoft Windows, and can produce wireless printing through near field communication (NFC technology) and even through Bluetooth connectivity. The older version of this device was capable of supporting only NFC for Android smartphones, which had considerably limited its compatibility.

The printouts produced by this product feature a resolution of 313 dpi, and they measure 51 by 76 millimeters. It is now accompanied by an enhanced companion app that comes with a brand new set of features, including new filter effects and an option for augmenting frames. This model uses Zink printing technology, and its design has eliminated the need to have to replace ink, which is a very costly part of many printing devices.

This mobile printer is already available on retail shelves in China and will work its way around the rest of the world throughout this year. It is expected that the Pocket Photo 2.0 will also be showcased in Las Vegas at the CES 2014, which will run from January 7 through to January 10. Its increased compatibility with smartphones and other devices, as well as its more practical features could make it a considerable hit and will be certain to draw a lot of attention.
