NCP engineering Simplifies Remote Access for Android Devices with New Version of Managed VPN Client

NCP engineering today announced that a new version of its Secure Enterprise Client for Android is now available. The NCP Secure Enterprise Client for Android (News - Alert) version 2.33 compatible with Android 4.0 and higher, will enable enterprises to provide secure VPN access to employees connecting remotely to corporate networks using Android devices.

The updated version of NCP's Android IPsec VPN client features a revamped user interface, including an enhanced notification icon and widget that makes it simple to detect the state of the VPN connection at a glance. Support for custom settings has also been improved, as administrators can now more easily configure load balancing support with a new profile setting for high availability (HA) servers, and users can now more easily import configuration files from other vendors.

Enterprises can purchase the latest enterprise Android client from NCP's network of reseller partners and distributors.
