JoikuSpot Premium Edition, an operator grade secure mobile software solution that turns S60 mobile phones instantly to mobile WLAN HotSpots today was launched by Joikusoft Oy Ltd., according to the company.

 

For a limited period, JoikuSpot Premium is being offered at an introductory forty percent discount of retail price online, company officials say.

 

Premium Edition represents a major milestone in the company’s roadmap, according to the Joikusoft Chairman and Founder Tom Ojala, who believes Premium will bring a long awaited corporate intra-Web and email protocol support to the JoikuSpot software allowing business level use of the solution.

 

The fully secure JoikuSpot Premium makes use of the maximum security offered by the underlying powerful Symbian (News - Alert) OS platform and gives users full control over who gets to use their JoikuSpot Internet access, according to the company. The new release is open for commercial licencing toward Operators, OEMs and Corporates, and is fully customizable for the licencee branding and feature configuration needs.

 

Joikusoft also announced a new Web service called “JoikuShop.” The webshop offers premium quality commercial mobile software titles from major software companies, supporting any mobile phone models.

 

According to JoikuSpot officials, JoikuSpot can install directly to a mobile phone and enables the phone to share its 3G internet connection wirelessly over WLAN with a laptop, iPod, iTouch, EeePC or Nokia (News - Alert) internet tablet. Additionally, multiple devices can be connected to a JoikuSpot in parallel and seamlessly share the same 3G internet connection, company officials say.
