Alcatel-Lucent's OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian

I've seen single-solution offerings for all of these, so it's great that this type of asset-protection hardware suite is being marketed inside a single product.

Although the device was launched in May, my wife reports that it's just beginning to roll out now, and is being marketed by 3G providers. Word is that it will cost subscribers about $10-$15 extra per month, although the server software will run corporations about $7,000 or so. I've yet to see it in action, but on paper, it's pretty impressive.

from another site:


Other downside is cost. Alcatel-Lucent's trying to keep this down, but they're going to be largely at the mercy of the various evil empires; out of the gate that's Verizon since the intial OmniAcc versions will run only EVDO rev A. Means you'll need to pay the monthly for an EVDO data plan (*I pay $50 per month now*), a service charge of probably $15/mo on top of that and then some kind of charge for the hardware (TBD).
