on the go


Language variant: on the move

Explanation:
I think a literal translation might not be the best choice here. I believe the text refers to situations when you're on the go or traveling.

sensitive data in mobile situations (laptops, Pocket PCs, smartphones); -

La puesta en marcha de este servicio permite el uso de la firma electrónica en situaciones de movilidad como, por ejemplo, cuando se realicen transacciones a través de dispositivos móviles (PDAs o smartphones) o desde ordenadores personales de uso público (cibercafés, etc.) o que no dispongan de los medios necesarios para poder firmar electrónicamente (como el lector de tarjetas, en el caso de las firmas que utilizan este soporte).
