Gotive is pleased to announce that it has joined Microsoft® Windows® Embedded Partner Program (MS WEP) following a strategic decision to implement the new Microsoft Windows CE .NET in its range of Wireless Enterprise Communicators (WEC's).

“We have selected Windows CE.NET after evaluating a range of available options, as the most optimal operating system for our wireless products. Gotive was one of the first companies to integrate Windows CE.NET into a handheld device after the launch of the operating system by Microsoft half a year ago. In fact, as far as we could judge, we were the only exhibitor on the CeBIT this year with a Windows CE.NET - powered wireless handheld device. Both our products Gotive H41 and Gotive Q31 are at present running on this operating system,” says Jana Sirotna, Gotive’s PR Officer for Technology Partner Relations. She adds: “As a fast growing company we think that it is very important for us to promote to our customers the affiliation of our products with leading technology brand names, such as Microsoft. By participating in Microsoft Partner Programs our company can significantly increase the visibility of its products on the mobile solutions market.”

The information about Gotive and its H41 is now listed in the Microsoft Windows Embedded Partner Program Product Marketplace. It can be viewed on www.mswep.com/marketplace.


Designed to deliver a powerful mobile solution that integrates all the components needed for daily wireless enterprise activities, Gotive’s H41 represents a fit-for-purpose choice of features such as PDA functionality, GSM/GPRS voice and data communication, GPS positioning, and BCR scanning, all embedded in one ruggedised, ergonomically shaped case, and operable via a large colour HVGA touch screen and four Action Keys.
