TMN has chosen Flash's NettGain to enable the provision of high-speed, secure data access services to the Portuguese business and consumer community.


NettGain transforms the standard infrastructure of 2.5G/GPRS mobile networks into one capable of providing secure email services, full access to enterprise applications such as Microsoft Exchange, and fully-featured Internet browsing.

Another survey from In-Stat/MDR in March 2002 claimed that the number of business wireless data users is to grow from 6.6 million at the end of 200, to more than 39 million in 2006.
