Certification Guarantees Interoperability Between Psion Teklogix Rugged Mobile Computers and AirVersent's 20/20 Delivery Mobile Supply Chain Software

Owing Mills, MD & Cincinnati - AirVersent, a global leader in providing visibility and control across the mobile supply chain, and Psion Teklogix, Inc., a global provider of wireless computing solutions, today announced the successful certification and integration of AirVersent's 20/20 Delivery® mobile supply chain software with Psion Teklogix' rugged handheld computers. The device certification ensures that the Windows Mobile-based handheld computers will support all the features of the 20/20 Delivery product.

In order to meet AirVersent's certification process, Psion Teklogix' handheld computers were put through more than 150 test cases that include verification of the following features and functionality:

• Basic application functionality (Perform Stops, Manage Route, Messaging, Activities, etc.)
• Data Synchronization (Admin, Init, Finalize, OTA, Vehicle, Departure Reconcile)
• Local Area Network (LAN) Connectivity (802.11/WiFi and Ethernet Cradle)
• Dispatched orders
• Mobile Forms
• Software updates via Afaria

20/20 Delivery significantly increases management's visibility into all aspects of delivery, pickup, cross-dock and backhaul operations. Return on Investment (ROI) is rapid because costs savings occur in many areas and include a reduction in billing cycles, inventory shrinkage and errors, improved driver performance and efficient transfer of time-sensitive data.

"After going through our strenuous certification process, Psion Teklogix' mobile handheld computers passed with flying colors - once again living up to their reputation for true ruggedness," said James Wee, Senior VP of Sales & Business Development at AirVersent. "We are pleased with the results. This certification will not only expand our customer base, but will provide our customers with confidence in deploying a comprehensive mobile solution that increases business efficiency and productivity."

"We believe the interoperability between Psion Teklogix' rugged mobile handheld computers and AirVersent's 20/20 Delivery is a perfect fit to meet our customers' needs of improving response time and operational efficiency while in the field."
