The Telework Exchange, a public-private partnership focused on eliminating telework gridlock, recognized the FDIC with a 2006 Telework Exchange Tele-Vision Award. The award was conferred in the category of Innovative Application of Technology to Support Telework.

The FDIC provides an array of remote access services to support its telecommuting and mobile users. Services include a Remote Client Network (RCN), a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and a dial-up service.

A recent addition to the FDIC's services is a "token" employees can use with any computer that has Internet access and a Web browser. This service”the Web Enabled Remote Client Network (WebRCN)”provides employees with secure access to commonly used software applications from their home computers, FDIC-issued laptop computers, conference computer-cafes and cybercafés. The token generates random alphanumeric passwords each time the device is turned on”a password is good for one logon. This feature enables virtually every eligible FDIC employee with access to a computer to participate in the FDIC's Telework Program.
