"The Guardian is a Linux-based notebook PC card loaded with security software that checks against a remote server to validate that the notebook hasn't been reported lost or stolen.

"Unlike local PC-based solutions, which rely on a client PC stored encryption key, OmniAccess 3500 Nonstop Laptop Guardian is controlled by a remote server that is accessed by either wired LAN, WLAN or a wireless 3G connection."
