AUSTIN, Texas, March 29, 2007 – Motion Computing®, a leader in ultramobile computing and wireless communications, today announced Sprint (NYSE: S) as its first wireless wide area network (WWAN) carrier partner for the LE1700, the company’s new flagship slate tablet PC.
With the LE1700, Motion is first to integrate in a slate tablet PC mobile broadband capabilities with Sprint Mobile Broadband. Sprint’s advanced Evolution Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A mobile broadband network provides wireless high speed data services in more than 220 markets; delivering increased flexibility for mobile professionals with access to business critical applications, away from wireless hotspots, enterprise networks and home offices.
“About half of Motion’s customer base regularly works outside the four walls of a business – case workers, for example, spend most of their time with clients and in the car,” said Tony Bonadero, Motion’s vice president of product management. “For these customers and others, integrated mobile broadband is a relevant and important technology. That’s why Motion has partnered with Sprint; it helps us extend the productivity that comes with truly mobile computing to more vertical industries.”
