Parallel with the opening of the essential global mobile industry event 3GSM World Congress 2005 in Cannes, France, Gotive presents the latest product line of its communicators for mobile enterprise, which are built upon Intel’s innovative family of XScale processors.

Gotive develops, markets, and sells highly innovative enterprise communicators. They feature unrivalled choice of built-in wireless communication, navigation, and data capture options, which are combined according to the requirements of the project in a single unit – from several pieces for a small operation up to hundreds or thousand of systems for a multinational companies. Gotive communicators feature an exceptionally large half VGA (6,2“ 640 x 240 pixel) touch screen LCD to provide large area for displaying data and easy data input by fingers, significant on-board memory capacity of 384 MB, including 128 MB RAM and 192 MB user-accessible non-volatile Flash memory, further extendable by CF, SD/MMC cards, and user-accessible SIM card slots. They are built on standard Microsoft operating system (CE.NET 4.2 and CE 5.0) and the latest product line of the Gotive communicators exploits the potential of Intel’s high-performance processor Intel XScale PXA270 520 MHz designed to meet the needs of the demanding handheld product environment.

„Gotive is introducing one of the first implementations of newest Intel® XScale® Processor combined with Intel® Flash Memory in Europe,“ says Jarek Matschey, Intel Area Sales Manager for communication products in Central and Eastern Europe.

The Intel® PXA27x family of processors, formerly code-named "Bulverde," adds a number of new technologies to address the needs of cell phone and PDA users. It is the first product to integrate the Intel Wireless MMX™ technology, providing additional performance for 3-D games and advanced video while improving battery-life. The new chip also utilizes Wireless Intel SpeedStep® technology, enabling significant power savings by intelligently managing voltage and frequency changes similar to the technology used in the company's notebook processors. The PXA27x processors incorporate a comprehensive set of system and peripheral functions that make it useful in a variety of low-power applications.

„Newest Intel technologies will allow Gotive to design high modularity products to meet various customer needs,“ Matschey adds.

“Our concept of merging excellent performance of the device system with hardware modularity, rugged construction, outstanding visual design and personalisation elements turns every Gotive communicator into an ideal working as well as marketing tool to bring more efficiency and to secure investment into the enterprise solutions”, says Anna Rosivalova, Gotive PR Manager.
“We have so far addressed a lot of vertical markets through our chain of distributors in Europe. In Cannes, we expect to meet a completely new audience and we are sure, that as Gotive communicators met the needs of many companies, they have the potential to become a notable product class in the portfolios of network operators, of course, rather for their business customers than for the individual end-users.”
