Data Security:
Using password protection to protect computer files, although something we strongly recommend, may not always provide adequate protection if a portable computer is lost or stolen. The fact is that there are currently a number of products available on the market, even some very effective free ones on the web, to help recover lost or forgotten passwords. Unfortunately these products can obviously also be used by unauthorized users to access password-protected files, documents and applications on lost or stolen computers.
At Peak Positioning we firmly believe that the best possible way to prevent a would-be unauthorized user from accessing information on a lost or stolen portable computer is to disable and completely prevent all access to the system, which is precisely what the HomeWave service does. HomeWave allows for your corporate IT department to immediately send a command via a wireless communication network to the reported-missing mobile computer, disabling the computer and preventing its use until another wireless command is sent by the IT department to allow the system to resume normal operations.
Unlike competing remote protection solutions that require a missing computer to first be connected to the Internet before any action can be taken, or those that require that you first need to have an expensive wireless broadband data plan in order for their solutions to be available wirelessly, HomeWave is the only wireless-based remote protection solution on the market that DOES NOT require an expensive wireless broadband data plan subscription or for the missing computer to be connected to the Internet in order to secure the missing system.

Remote Forensic Analysis:
At Peak Positioning we understand that in addition to securing your missing portable computers, you may also want to know with certainty whether or not specific files on the missing systems were accessed while the systems were missing. That’s why the HomeWave service also features a built-in forensic analysis tool that allows your corporate IT department to determine what files, if any, and precisely when the files were accessed on a reported-missing system.
Asset Recovery:
Finally, HomeWave also allows your IT department to leverage the latest in combined wireless and location-based technologies to locate your reported-missing mobile computing devices. This feature can play a critical role in the recovery the reported-missing systems.
