Large European Courier Selects Wavelink Avalanche for Wireless WAN Device Management
ACS Courier manages more than 1,000 Intermec devices using Avalanche Mobility Center
MIDVALE, UTAH—MARCH 19, 2009— Wavelink Corporation, the leading provider in mobile device and infrastructure management, today announced its mobile device management solution, Wavelink® Avalanche Mobility Center™ (MC), will be used to manage more than 1,000 devices for ACS Courier, the largest shipping company in Greece.
ACS is deploying the Intermec devices with the support of Mobile Technology, a Wavelink business partner. The 1,000-device deployment is anticipated to increase by 500 additional devices over the next three years. The project being carried out by Mobile Technology is expected to significantly contribute to the productivity and efficiency of ACS couriers by providing central administration of its mobile device ecosystem. Wavelink will manage the ACS Courier mobile devices on GPRS (and other Wireless Wide Area Networks) in addition to Wi-Fi networks.
“The mobile device deployment by ACS is a great example of one of our partners working with a customer to find a mobile solution that improves productivity and is cost-effective,” said Steve Bemis, Wavelink vice president of sales. “ACS Courier joins the list of the world’s largest companies in industries such as logistics, retail and manufacturing that are saving time and money with Avalanche Mobility Center.”
Avalanche MC is a comprehensive management solution for the wireless enterprise, providing complete visibility and control of wireless infrastructure and mobile devices from a central console. Avalanche MC eases the configuration, deployment and management of mobile devices.
In addition to managing their mobile devices through Avalanche MC, ACS will receive even more flexibility and control with the addition of Avalanche Remote Control (RC) and Avalanche CE Secure. With Avalanche RC, ACS administrators will be able to remotely diagnose and remedy both applications and device settings or simply provide assisted guidance to the end user. Avalanche CE Secure gives ACS advanced user authentication and security on Windows CE mobile devices, reducing the risk that a lost or stolen mobile device can be used to compromise the organization’s critical systems and data.
