existing tools provide the workaround - Net Motion is no longer needed.

As per Dave L. - Presently NJDEP is following the lead from Dept of Corrections (DOC) which has abandoned NetMotion after two years of struggles to deploy it. There is currently good success using cradlepoint routers in vehicles to direct VPN to the GSN without credentials. DEP will watch for ongoing success at DOC and then look into use of Zscaler or Cisco’s AnyConnect for our own options to connect back to the GSN and the new CAD system. While both Zscaler and Cisco’s AnyConnect had presented with reasons to avoid them previously, those appear to have been overcome.

Dave L. to configure some (4) SIMs for Joe to use as a trial with NetMotion and the current CAD across 4 regions. DOIT is to manage the VPN once selection and purchase complete. Corrections also looking at NetMotion. A SAR is still needed in this project - Ted had the Corrections draft. We have a quote with Jim M.

There is another aspect related to providers, where Verizon cannot provide 100% coverage. Program needs a backup solution which requires NJOIT to open up more than one option within the VPN. Tim suggests FirstNet (ATTs priority service), which is working in Joe’s cars. Dave has ideas on one company SIM in a laptop and one in a phone. Verizon isn’t as clear about their VPN options.

The goal is to run this project in parallel with the CAD project and we will test to is if zScaler will work as needed. If not we will purchase NetScaler to meet the need.

-Zscaler has been ruled out. - KJ

A quote was obtained for 160 licenses at a cost of $25,000 which includes about $4,500 which may or may not be carried over annually. This will be clarified in a meeting with the vendor.

No TIP form has been completed yet, but this will be initiated soon as this project will be necessary for success of the CAD project.
