Fast and Reliable
Unlike other Web-based remote access solutions that transfer data via a remote server, Timbuktu ToGo allows data to move directly between computers using peer-to-peer connectivity, improving performance and providing an added level of security. If a peer-to-peer connection is not made, a server-based failover is established.

Proven Remote Computing Technology
For nearly two decades, Netopia's Timbuktu has been the standard in remote computing. Timbuktu ToGo takes this time-tested technology to the next level with desktop-to-desktop remote connectivity as a browser-based service. In addition to Windows Internet Explorer, Timbuktu ToGo also supports Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox browsers for more versatile cross-platform connectivity.

Tailored Service and Flexibility
Timbuktu ToGo offers customized remote computing services to fit everyone's needs. With a range of options like hourly, daily, or monthly service subscriptions, free trial offers, and other promotions, provisioning PC remote access to subscribers has never been easier.

Hosted for Seamless On-Demand Results
Netopia's world-class, remote-computing hosting facility is home to Timbuktu ToGo, and that means providers can offer services and realize revenues quickly. No expensive software to preinstall and mange. No clumsy integration or costly internal deployments. Just a seamless transition into existing business models and systems. Further, Timbuktu ToGo provides a host of reporting, billing, authentication, and CRM reporting services.

All Access Remote Computing
Timbuktu ToGo's bi-directional streaming synchronization provides two forms of remote access from the same interface and connection: attended and unattended.

• Attended access lets two people work together on the same computer, even if one user is on the other side of the globe.
• Unattended PC remote access allows a subscriber to connect with and control an unattended computer from anywhere.

Easy and Secure
To gain access to remote PC or Mac desktop using Timbuktu ToGo, a subscriber simply:

1. sets up a Timbuktu ToGo account;
2. configures the host PC they’ll access for remote computing;
3. logs on from a browser and selects the desired host computer; and
4. begins remote computing from the host PC as if he/she were sitting in front of it.

Timbuktu ToGo uses a highly secure login and authentication process and 256-bit AES encryption of data sent between computers during each remote computing session, protecting both users and their data. Direct peer-to-peer connections deliver an added level of security over traditional connections through remote servers.

Custom Branding
Netopia's Professional Services Organization (PSO) is available to develop a look and feel that best maintains the consistency and integrity of each customer's brand and messaging.
