MC50 Enterprise Digital Assistant SAN JOSE, CA, May 2
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Xten Networks, Inc. (OTCBB: XNWK), a
provider of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), Video over IP,
Instant Messaging (IM), and Presence SIP softphones, will make its
softphones, along with Symbol Technologies, Inc.'s (NYSE:SBL)
handheld mobile computers, available for channel partner offerings
later this year. Xten software on Symbol handheld computers
provides a mobile voice solution that enables next generation
connectivity and collaboration across Symbol's voice capable
Windows Mobile platforms. The first product supported is the MC50
Enterprise Digital Assistant (EDA). Generating an overwhelming
positive response, Xten demonstrated the handheld SIP softphones
with the Symbol MC50 EDA at the Voice on the Net show in March of
this year. "Wireless IP communications is the future and our Pocket
PC softphone is an important component in our wireless strategy,"
commented Erik Lagerway, COO and President for Xten. "Symbol has a
long standing reputation for producing top quality Pocket PC
devices for the Enterprise. We are excited to take this first step
in working with Symbol, and see this as an excellent opportunity
for Xten to increase visibility for our handheld wireless VoIP
software in vertical markets, such as retail, where Symbol is a
recognized worldwide leader." "Symbol's MC50 is designed for mobile
professionals seeking to capture, move and manage information at
the point of business activity in order to increase productivity
and efficiency, while improving customer responsiveness and
satisfaction," said Chuck Dourlet, vice president of Mobile
Computing, Symbol Technologies. "With Xten's validated voice
solution, the MC50 can become an even more powerful and versatile
tool for our customers - enabling on-the-spot decision making with
real time access to people and information." Introduced in October
2004, the MC50 is the first in a new family of EDA products
specifically designed for business-essential applications within
the enterprise environment with a particular focus on durability,
manageability and lifecycle management. Featuring
industry-standard-based and additional Symbol wireless security
capabilities, the MC50 also includes integrated voice capability
with a designed-for-voice electrical and mechanical design. With
the MC50, VoIP solutions can be deployed enabling in-building and
on-campus communications for real-time responses and improved
customer satisfaction. Xten's softphones for Windows, MAC OS X and
Pocket PC are software applications, which run on devices such as
personal computers (PCs) or personal digital assistants (PDAs) or
can be integrated into web pages or web applications. When an Xten
softphone is connected to a service provider's network, the user
can make and receive calls to and from other "on-net" callers
(IP-to-IP) and/or "off-net" callers (IP-to-PSTN/Cellular) with the
same quality of service they would expect from their IP handset at
a fraction of the cost, while providing more features and
functionality than the IP handset. About Xten Networks Xten
