Honeywell and Aruba offer Advanced Mobile Computing

Honeywell and Aruba Networks have announced that they are collaborating to offer complete wireless networking and mobile computing solutions and support services targeted at retail, healthcare, and logistics applications.

"Our enterprise customers have made it clear that they want a secure, easy-to-deploy, end-to-end system solution that provides both wireless networking and data collection capabilities," said Darius Adamczyk, President, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility. "Honeywell and Aruba have a shared vision about the primacy of customer support, and the need for robust mobile data collection across the enterprise. The alliance speaks as much to our commitment to delivering the best end-user experience as it does about building the most capable data collection infrastructure."

For example, in the healthcare point-of-care environment Aruba’s wireless LANs and Honeywell’s mobile computers work together to simplify patient identification and bedside medication administration. The solution ensures that patient information and electronic medical records (EMRs) are protected and meet HIPAA compliance standards. In retail, the joint solution enables on-floor wireless price checking and seamless mobile checkout.

Honeywell and Aruba have begun showcasing their collaborative offerings at events globally, including Honeywell’s EMEA Partner Event in Portugal, which took place in early October, and several road shows targeting resellers in Asia. Aruba’s CEO will also be a key spokesperson at Honeywell’s upcoming North America Partner Event in Las Vegas from October 26 –28, 2010.
