Integration of terminals
http://www.specialtymarket.com/products/PROMOTIONS/p_10041
I am working on making a package of hardware and accessories based on
this to be used with web based application.
as you can see the prices are getting reasonable.
this particular one has GPS so can track location for asset tracking.
I believe this is the wave of the future for Enterprise software

VPN is only totally secure when run on copper pairs.
when run across the internet it has the same vulnerability
considerations as a Router/WIFI. both hardware and encryption.
VPN routers have an encryption layer, which must match on both ends.
the more expensive Wifi routers and or the ones that have custom
applications uploaded, have the same level of security as a VPN.
I use a modified version of busy box in my wifi's that are used.
another note:
Back end is HTTPS which is suppose to have encryption to and from the
client.
There is another layer of security by using JNLP.

The only way I'd allow a wireless device access to the back-end ERP is
through a VPN. This includes deployments in the Amazon cloud.
Separate the backend ERP functions from the public ecommerce/public
functions and deploy a minimal ofbiz instance for ports 80 and 443.
Deploy a full ofbiz ERP accessible only from the back-end network and
login via a VPN.
Allowing 'admin' access, even via port 443 is a silly security risk.
Do you think Amazon security would allow this?

interesting
The open wifi is only a concern if the traffic is open Text( Http:)
btw did you see that is 3G capable.
PS, Using Linux instead of android.
the linux firewall is set to only access the business sites.
yes someone can change the iptables, however this would send a notice to
the admin. it would be up to the company as to the resolution.

Then that approach is outside the scope of this project. OFBiz is an ERP
application, not a VPN.
Your "nightmare scenario" is a function of deployment, not a function of
the application.

My point is using these wifi devices to access your back-end ERP is
unwise, unless you are using a PPTP VPN, and limit it to just a couple
of users.

A key logger would circumvent the most sophisticated security systems.
So what is your point?

I would not feel comfortable accessing a back-end ERP via android and
wifi. A nightmare scenario is handing out 20 of these devices to
employees who also use it to access the web and other social media
sites, and a key-logger is inadvertently installed.

It's also useful in construction/manufacture project management, take
photos, write notes, record voices and etc.
