Abstract
Disclosed is a system and method enabling a mobile device to establish a communication channel with a device residing in the corporate network and in close physical proximity, without the requirement for a direct high speed network connection between the mobile and corporate devices. The system and method allow the mobile device tot maintain its existing network connection, with no special user/network credential access. The system and method enable an improved security control over the traffic that is transferred between the devices as these are filtered and controlled through a Firewall Traversal pairing server and not directly between devices.
