Eurotech, a leading firm specializing in design & development of high-performance, low-powered embedded miniature computing systems, has entered into an advantageous agreement with IBM. As per the agreement, Eurotech will be embedding IBM Lotus Mobile Connect software in Eurotech’s NanoPC devices including the Embedded PCs, Network Appliances as well as the Wearable PCs.
  
IBM Lotus Mobile Connect software creates a mobile VPN (Virtual Private Network), for both Internet Protocol (IP) and non-IP networks, providing users easy, secured, high-speed access to information at reduced cost.

Eurotech’s mobile device users can now make the most of the unceasing support of this revolutionary software for optimum network usage. Moving from place to place will no longer be any hellish experience; there will be no repeated disconnections across networks, the end-user will rather have complete freedom to prioritise the network based on requirement.

Speaking of the alliance, Monica Tassinari, Manager of Lotus Italy (IBM Software Group) said that this treaty is an expansion of the collaboration with Eurotech. (Arcom Inc., USA, a Eurotech Company collaborating with IBM Sensor and Actuators group to implement IBM Middleware in Eurotech devices was the first joint venture between the giants).

Naming this agreement as ‘as an important step in the development of pervasive computing’, a very optimistic Roberto Siagri, President and CEO of the Eurotech Group, said that the partnership ‘marks the migration of the information technology domain to a totally ubiquitous era where a single device has multiple capabilities’.
