Aruba Networks and SOTI Partner to Enable Advanced Mobile Device Management (MDM)

Online, January 7, 2011 (Newswire.com) - SOTI Inc. today announced a partnership with leading enterprise access network company, Aruba Networks, under which SOTI MobiControl will be integrated with Aruba's AirWave Wireless Management Suite for mobile device management.

The integrated solution is designed to simplify network operations by providing direct access to the MobiControl Web Console from the AirWave management console. Operators can select, query, and manage mobile devices all from the AirWave console. This feature will simplify network operations compared with solutions that require multiple operator consoles.

End users have been drawn to the flexibility of MobiControl's mobile device management and SOTI's reputation for best-in-class support services. Integrating the platform with the AirWave suite adds a level of extensibility that is simply unavailable from competing solutions.

"Data collection productivity is the watchword among logistics and operations managers, and that objective can only be satisfied with an end-to-end solution encompassing mobile device management, network management, and best-in-class mobile devices," said Mark Schmidt, Honeywell Scanning & Mobility's Director of Strategic Marketing. "I view this development as a near-perfect combination for end-users seeking to boost data collection productivity and lower their operating costs. Honeywell Scanning & Mobility's customers and sales channels will find this offering to be exceptionally compelling as MobiControl is Honeywell Scanning & Mobility's device management solution of choice and Aruba Networks is our strategic go-to-market partner for wireless infrastructure."

"Integration with the AirWave Suite will enable joint Aruba and SOTI customers to address a growing need for advanced management and control over mobile devices and the infrastructure over which they operate," said Carl Rodrigues, President and CEO, SOTI Inc. "In addition to simplifying network operation, the joint integration helps lower operating expenses through capabilities such as device locationing."

"The implementation of end-to-end operations management services on access networks is critical to improving both application performance and the overall user experience," said Peter Cellarius, vice president of business development for Aruba. "Our customers want to monitor and manage both network traffic and every client device on their networks to ensure the best possible user experience. The integration of SOTI MobiControl with the AirWave suite constitutes a powerful operations management tool, and brings Aruba a significant competitive advantage in the market."
