Good, which has over 12,000 enterprise customers with users in over 90 countries on over 200 carrier networks, will be available across India through the highly recognised Motorola Partner Select channel programme. Starting early April 2008, enterprises will be able to easily purchase Good 5 from a global network of highly specialised resellers and receive in-country sales and technical support.

For IT administrators, the new release expands Good's handheld security and management capabilities to include over-the-air control of handheld features like cameras, Bluetooth ports, and storage cards as well as application and device lockdown, advanced password management, and advanced encryption management. Further, Good 5 enables access to behind-the-firewall intranets and web-based applications from handhelds and smartphones. Good 5 supports both Lotus Domino and Microsoft Exchange messaging servers and can be deployed over GSM, CDMA and WiFi networks on a host of devices from Motorola and other manufacturers.
