integrated wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) connectivity and data capture options,

"Mobility provides enterprise professionals with the ability to make
real-time, well-informed decisions to drive business and enhance customer
satisfaction," said Chuck Dourlet, vice president of Mobile Computing, Symbol
Technologies. "The MC50's durable design and integrated features, coupled with
Good's secure platform to wirelessly extend enterprise and Outlook
applications, offers a powerful solution for mobile workers on the sales
floor, at the data center, or in the warehouse to capture, move and manage
data at the point of business activity."
Good Technology also announced GoodAccess, an industry-standards-based
platform for rapidly developing and deploying mobile applications to handheld
computers such as the Symbol MC50 EDA (see related release "Good Technology
Extends Enterprise Applications Wirelessly with GoodAccess"). The GoodAccess
system allows business analysts to assemble customized wireless applications
without costly, IT time-intensive custom coding. GoodAccess securely mobilizes
enterprise applications using end-to-end AES encryption and advanced handheld
controls.
GoodLink and GoodAccess on the Symbol MC50 will enable mobile
professionals in retail, sales, manufacturing and IT, as well as corporate
executives, to increase productivity and efficiency with secure, real time
access to the enterprise systems and information they need when and where they
need them in a campus environment. Good's end-to-end AES encryption secures
all information that traverses a Wi-Fi network, alleviating a primary concern
with network intrusion.
Using GoodAccess on the Symbol MC50:
-- A retail manager on a sales floor can monitor and manage merchandise
pricing, inventory availability and other real-time retail management
applications.
-- A sales person at a customer site can access order status information,
retrieve the latest product information and place an order and lock in
a sale.
-- An IT or field service manager away from his desk can assign a trouble
ticket to a resource, check the status of an IT asset and review
service history.
-- A supply chain management professional in the warehouse can access
delivery schedules and inventory supplies.
All of these applications can be accessed securely, utilizing Good's
end-to-end AES encryption and sophisticated handheld controls.
"Mobile executives have come to rely on Good to securely extend their
Outlook applications on their handhelds," said Sue Forbes, vice president,
Marketing, Good Technology. "Now, with the combination of GoodAccess and
Symbol's Wi-Fi enabled EDA device, we are providing the millions of mobile
workers in manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and other high mobility campus
markets with laptop power in their pockets. Productivity and customer
responsiveness in these markets are about to get a big boost."
GoodLink and GoodAccess will be available for the Symbol MC50 in early
March 2005.
