| | | New Brunswick Company Targets China with new Floodwall Product
BEIJING, China, Dec. 10 /CNW/ - Today, during an exclusive function at the Beijing Concord College, Votemail Express Inc. a developer of security products, announced the launch of Floodwall(TM) the next generation of security technology designed to close the security gap that exists in wireless and mobile data communications. Votemail chose Beijing to announce the launch of Floodwall(TM) since the wide adoption of mobile communications have made countries like China excellent market opportunities.
Although not yet available for commercial release, the new breakthrough technology has generated sufficient interest to secure early distribution contracts with North American and Asian companies. Many potential customers see the benefit of the new technology: Dr. Francis Pang, recent recipient of the prestigious "Great Wall of Friendship" Award in recognition of his leadership in fostering cross-border business with China, recently endorsed Floodwall(TM). "This unique product allows users of mobile phones secure communications beyond what is available today. I believe the product will see great success here in China especially as the country gets ready for 3G."
"Votemail Express Inc. is yet another example of how New Brunswick companies are leading the way in exporting to foreign markets," says New Brunswick Premier Bernard Lord, "We have grown to be the most ’trade active’ province in Canada, a testament to the quality of products and services that New Brunswick has to offer."
Platform independent, Floodwall(TM) will operate with any mobile device offering true security transparency to users. Its progressive cryptographic architecture adapts to changing standards in security, ensuring users have the latest in digital protection. Floodwall technology is being designed with the advancement of 3G networks already established in Hong Kong and soon to hit China.
Votemail Express Inc. will use Floodwall(TM) to enhance product offering in its initial pilot application areas which have distinct and demanding security and privacy requirements: online voting and health reporting. "Leading enterprises in healthcare, government, and other industries are driving the mobile security market", says Brian Flood, CEO. "We believe this new technology offers a clear value proposition to customers and represents a very large market opportunity."
Located in New Brunswick, Canada the company has gathered a local team of high-tech entrepreneurs with successful international track records in both the security and enterprise application markets. The ability of the company to attract high caliber talent is attributed, in part, to the remarkable vision and history of VoteMail Express Inc.’s founder and CEO, Brian Flood. As former President and CEO of Q1 Labs, Brian was responsible for the overall strategic direction, growth and management of the company, becoming the first New Brunswick technology entrepreneur to successfully raise $15 M USD in financing from a US venture capital firm.
"With Q1 Labs, Brian helped put New Brunswick on North America’s technology radar (map)" says Elisabeth Rybak, founder and former CEO of Whitehill Technologies now a member of the team. "Votemail Express Inc. has the same potential to be another New Brunswick success." Other members of the team include: Paul Mansz, former Vice President of 724 Solutions Inc., David Wagner, former President of Unisys Canada, and Mike Tilley, Founder and President of CANLink Global. |
