Wi-Fi Access to Ports and Container Yards
Psion Teklogix provides a cost-effective migration path to 802.11
WI-FI networks
Mississauga, ON-April, 29, 2004 - Psion Teklogix, (LSE:
PON), a global provider of solutions for mobile computing and wireless
data collection, and Vivato, a leading provider of wireless networking
equipment , today announced that Psion Teklogix has become a Vivato
Elite Partner and will be reselling its products to North American
customers. Psion Teklogix recently worked with Vivato and Tideworks
Technology to deploy Vivato 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi basestations to the Port
of Seattle's 190-acre marine terminal.
Vivato's product family provides customers with a cost effective
solution that has three to ten times greater coverage than other
available access points, which enables customers to cover large
areas cost effectively. Wide area Wi-Fi network gives customers
the capability to support traditional RF terminal applications,
Internet access, VOIP applications, as well as wireless access to
laptops and PDAs.
"This partnership complements the more than 30 years of experience
Psion Teklogix has in deploying rugged wireless solutions around
the world," said Allen Wall, director of alliances, Psion Teklogix
Corp. "By partnering with Vivato, we are able to provide our
customers with technology uniquely suited to providing fast and
reliable wireless coverage to very large areas at the lowest cost
of deployment."
By leveraging Vivato's technology, Psion Teklogix can decrease
the number of access points a customer needs to purchase to cover
a large area, as well as significantly reduce the labor and equipment
costs of trenching for electricity and providing Ethernet backhaul
to conventional access points.
"This partnership is a natural fit and we are pleased to be
working with Psion Teklogix to deploy our technology in ports, container
yards and other supply chain and logistics environments," said
Kevin Ryan, vice president of marketing & business development
for Vivato. "Psion Teklogix' proven ability to provide complete
mobile computing solutions in all types of rugged environments was
a key factor in our decision to make them an Elite Partner of Vivato."
