There is a surge of startups trying to address the management of smartphones in enterprise networks, which is surely going to be a massive issue. If you think about how the number of smart, networked mobile devices are proliferating, and how employees use them for both work and private purposes, you can imagine this is a big management headache. That's the opportunity that Silicon Valley startup MobileIron is going after. I spoke to MobileIron back to CTIA and have since done some more research on the company. The company last August raised $11 million in Series B funding from top investors including Norwest Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, and Storm Ventures. The company is led by CEO Bob Tinker, who was a former business development manager for Cisco's wireless business units. He was also formerly vice president of business development at Airespace, which was acquired by Cisco in 2005.
