Intermec, BTW, is no back street boutique; its mkt cap is $1.4bn. Nice development, and long may it continue.

Intermec & Mobile Tornado Form Exclusive Partnership To Offer Instant Communications For The Mobile Enterprise

Low-cost Cellular Push To Talk Solution On


The Intermec CN3Handheld Computer Boosts


Mobile Workers Productivity & Efficiency


Mobile Tornado plc (AIM:MBT) and Intermec (NYSE: IN) today announce an exclusive pan-EMEA partnership to provide Push To Talk (PTT) over cellular services on Intermec rugged CN3 handheld computers.

For companies, this availability of low cost cellular based instant communications dramatically enhances the productivity of every mobile worker. It allows them urgent communication with a supervisor to answer a customer query in the field and further empowers the employee to resolve customer disputes at the doorstep through immediate dialogue with their head office.

Choosing an Intermec CN3 with PTT also offers organizations a major reduction in customer service costs. By combining voice communication and data management in one small, durable handheld device, users of the Intermec CN3 avoid the expense and hassle of carrying a separate PDA for data as well as a mobile phone. Additionally, by using the global GSM mobile phone network instead of a local RF transmitter, a CN3 with PTT will have coverage virtually everywhere. Yet costly mobile phone tariffs are avoided as the service is web hosted and there is just one small monthly per device charge.

Other features of the Mobile Tornado PTT solution are that it integrates seamlessly with new or existing mobile & back-office applications. PC-based central dispatch software also allows an enterprise the flexibility to view field workers availability and broadcast company communications to the entire mobile workforce or selected members of it.

Commenting on the partnership, Stuart Scott, Senior Director, International Marketing for Intermec said: "The addition of PTT capability adds to the rich set of connectivity solutions including GPS, 3G WAN, Cisco Compatible WiFi and Bluetooth that are integrated into the CN3. This new feature will cement the CN3's position as the single terminal device that mobile workers will want to carry."

David Parry, VP Worldwide Sales, at Mobile Tornado said: "Today's enterprises - and particularly those engaged in transportation, logistics and field service - increasingly need instant communication with their mobile workforce. The availability of push to talk services on the Intermec CN3 takes communication to a new level without the added capital, operational expense and complexity of adding a second device for voice."

I'm sure somethings up. Have you heard anything about ITO being sold to concentrate on MBT? I hear something is moving with a Russian interest.

[pbracken] 20/2/2008 16:38

A heady brew of some sorts, teifi. I tried to pick up another 100K towards the close - the mms demanded 6p! Now, that might be cheap in the shortish run, but it's still taking the michael. OK, they need to cover themselves but that kind of premium just kills the market in the stock.

If I buy any more PB I'll own the bloody thing. Whats brewing? Vodka?

Horsepower, I hear that there is a European trade fair this week, which MBT are exibiting at. I think we might hear some update on progress during the week.

[horsepower] 09/2/2008 19:46

interesting people in this firm

[teifi] 11/1/2008 12:45

Thanks very much, I'll have some more at this!

[teifi] 21/12/2007 11:35

Seems as though a few people need the extra cash for Christmas! No sign of any news at present. Drops again and I'll add more.

[thereverend] 20/12/2007 16:45

100k sell last thing!!

[thereverend] 20/12/2007 08:41

Very interesting play on words teifi!

[teifi] 20/12/2007 08:20

Wouldnt be an American sprint by any chance reverend?

[thereverend] 19/12/2007 20:52

I think I'll top up tomorrow regardless, as the price is still right. Besides, with a Company like this, it's a marathon, not a sprint!

[thereverend] 19/12/2007 17:37

Certainly a very promising sign hp. It might even be marked-up for tomorrow.

[horsepower] 19/12/2007 16:43

Another 100k buy today I see. Looks like someone is accumulating. Wouldn't have thought MMs have many more to shift at this level...

[teifi] 18/12/2007 17:07

Looks set for an interesting time ahead. At the end of the day, Peter Wilkinson didnt spend £4 million on MBT for fun.
