Collaboration Leverages Innovations in Ultramobile Computing, Software for Designing Wireless Networks
Austin, Texas, Aug. 23, 2004 – Wireless innovators Motion Computing® and Wireless Valley® Communications today announced a strategic partnership to help IT professionals optimize the design, monitoring and management of all types of wireless projects, ranging from coffee shop and airport “hot spots” to enterprise-class wireless networks.
By combining Wireless Valley’s globally proven wireless design and measurement software – including LANPlanner® and InFielder® – with Motion’s award-winning, Wi-Fi-enabled M1400 Tablet PCs, both companies today began marketing products and services that advance the state of the art in the design, deployment and, ultimately, management of all kinds of wireless voice and data networks.
Products and services resulting from the partnership will enable peak performance and security in any Wi-Fi, cellular, PCS or 3G wireless network. This will benefit large carriers, equipment manufacturers, system integrators, and anyone who wants the utmost mobility and full-function computing power to plan and design their wireless networks.
For example, with wireless network designers now having the prospect of full-function mobile computing power in the crook of their arm, they can use Wireless Valley’s software to quickly generate network designs, take measurements of the network performance and develop complete and accurate documentation of their wireless assets on a single Motion tablet PC.
“Motion’s tablet PC provides a lightweight mobile platform with advanced graphical capabilities for accurate on-site measurements and surveys, and it complements our strategy of simplifying the design and management of complex, mission-critical wireless solutions,” said Wireless Valley CEO Jim Welch. “The power, versatility and display innovations make Motion’s newest tablet PC the perfect platform for RF and IT professionals working with wireless networks to take advantage of Wireless Valley’s patented site-specific visualization capabilities as well as enhancing the usefulness of our field measurement software.”
“Collaborating with a company so deep in radio frequency and wireless networking expertise represents a major opportunity for Motion to provide a unique service in each of our targeted vertical markets,” said David Altounian, Motion’s chief product officer. “A stronger relationship with Wireless Valley also showcases an important new computing application made possible by the innovative features and the thin and light design of our slate tablet PC.”
