mVNC is a Virtual Network Computing server for Symbian OS phones. In conjunction with a VNC viewer, it displays the phone's screen in a window on the PC, and forwards keystrokes and mouse movements from the PC to the phone. The phone can therefore be almost completely controlled and operated from the PC.
In addition to making the phone controllable from a PC, mVNC also offers file synchronization capabilities.
mVNC can be used for a variety of purposes:
- Comfortably using applications on your phone, maintaining the address book and calendar, writing messages at full speed...
- Demonstrating your phone''''s upscaled screen on a PC, or projecting it via a beamer connected to the PC. Having the tiny phone screen magnified on the PC makes mVNC an ideal presentation tool for sales, support or training.
mVNC uses Bluetooth, WLAN or a USB-cable for
the communication between phone and PC.
Since standard VNC clients communicate via TCP/IP (Internet) with
their server, mVNC consists of two components: a
server on the phone, and a proxy on the PC acting as an
intermediate, forwarding the Bluetooth or USB-cable data from the
server via TCP/IP to the client, and vice versa.
Note: If a WLAN-connection is used no proxy component is required
and therefore mVNC can be used also in a pure Mac
environment.
What is VNC?
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control
software protocol which allows you to view and fully interact with
one computer desktop (the "VNC server") using a simple program (the
"VNC viewer") on another computer desktop anywhere on the Internet.
VNC is in widespread active use by millions throughout industry,
academia and privately. Just search the internet for "VNC" to learn
more about it.
While there are a lot of (free) VNC viewer products on the market
- also for Symbian phones - mVNC is the only fully
featured VNC server software for Symbian OS world wide.
