Intermec Technologies has named Wireless Edge Networks optimize mobile access to information and existing application infrastructure. Wireless Edge will deploy its software on Intermec s wireless handheld mobile computers.

Wireless Edge s wEdge"! Platform technology provides secure, real-time access from any wireless device to any service, data or mobile application across any network, with 24/7 support. It effectively manages the delivery of data and traffic through various wireless networks.

The technology delivers streaming video and two-way messaging optimized to the continuously changing wireless bandwidth experienced by mobile computer users as they roam. Applications for the Wireless Edge technology include areas such as national security, homeland defense, inventory or fleet management, mobile commerce and wireless gaming. The company also is poised to participate in the massive mobile carrier and Internet arenas.

For example, with a wireless Intermec 700 Series Pocket PC handheld computer and Wireless Edge software, a security guard can roam a building while on duty and still maintain access to the feed from video security cameras. Or a military unit deployed on the front line of a conflict can instantly update headquarters on its state of readiness, including inventory of ammunition and other items needed to support the unit during mobilization. In these cases, a rugged, reliable, easy-to-use device that incorporates multiple data transmission protocols is key.

"Intermec understands the future of the emerging wireless industry and represents the best of breed in hand held technology," said Robert McGuire, Wireless Edge chief executive officer. "That s why we partnered with Intermec: to develop and introduce exciting next generation mobile solutions."

"Wireless Edge s expertise in complex mobile access solutions is a true advantage in these mission-critical situations," said Intermec Vice President Rod Crane. "Effective wireless applications mean more than the ability to eliminate cables. Wireless Edge understands that the nature of mobile access and the way information is used is different than for a user sitting at an office computer."
