Motorola and Padcom Team to Provide Roaming Solution for Mobile Workers.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers BETHLEHEM, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 11, 2004 Roaming The ability to use a communications device such as a cellphone or PDA and be able to move from one cell or access point to another without losing the connection. between different networks is now easier for Motorola mobile data users. Motorola (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :MOT (OpenView Managed Object Toolkit) An OpenView toolkit from HP for developing network management applications based on CMIS. The toolkit contains library routines that handle the transmission and receipt of CMIS requests and responses. ) and Padcom, Inc., a proven leader in providing continuous connectivity software for mobile workers, today announced that Motorola will be using Padcom's TotalRoam(R) solution to integrate Motorola's advanced private voice and data networks with public wide area and local area wireless networks. "Integrating our companies' solutions will enable mobile workers in public safety, utilities and other markets to roam seamlessly between different network infrastructures," said Jim Connor, director of Motorola's Infrastructure Operations. "Padcom's experience in the public safety market, commitment to customer service, and ability to seamlessly combine our existing products with next-generation services complement Motorola's data strategy." Using the TotalRoam solution, a vehicle equipped with a mobile computer or a worker using a laptop Same as laptop computer. laptop - portable computer is able to maintain wireless data communications data communications, application of telecommunications technology to the problem of transmitting data, especially to, from, or between computers. In popular usage, it is said that data communications make it possible for one computer to "talk" with another. across different networks securely, transparently, and with minimal, if any, user intervention. For example, a police car that uses Motorola's private data system as its primary network may drive within range of the agency's WiFi infrastructure. Using TotalRoam, data communication will automatically, and securely, switch to the higher speed network allowing the officer to take advantage of the increased bandwidth to enable advanced applications and to support faster updates to local data in the vehicle. When the vehicle leaves WiFi coverage, network service will automatically return to the primary Motorola network. This also enables switching between a Motorola private data network and a public wide area wireless network. Motorola may also offer Padcom's TR6100 hardware solution, allowing Motorola customers to install a ruggedized mobile router router Portable electric power tool used in carpentry and furniture making that consists of an electric motor, a base, two handle knobs, and bits (cutting tools). A router can cut fancy edges for shelving, grooves for storm windows and weather stripping, circles and ovals that will create a wireless vehicle area network that is independent of the mobile computing Using a computing device while in transit. Mobile computing implies wireless transmission, but wireless transmission does not necessarily imply mobile computing. Fixed wireless applications use satellites, radio systems and lasers to transmit between permanent objects such as buildings device.
