ALISO VIEJO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 12, 2014) - Smith Micro Software, Inc. (
"Like many industries, public safety and government agencies are no longer utilizing just traditional PC platforms. They are rapidly adopting newer, smaller devices to provide support for various needs such as license plate readers, dashboard cameras, CAD systems, etc.," said Yankee Group Principal Analyst Ken Rehbehn. "With many of these new platforms built on Android, robust security and connectivity solutions that support operating system are needed now. Believing the public sector to be slow in adopting new technologies is a misconception, but they can be held back if the software needed for effective control and compliance is not readily available."
"As workforces become increasingly mobile and tablets grow in popularity, solutions for managing connectivity and security on these platforms become a critical part of a company's mobile device strategy," said Cheryl Noti, Director, Solutions Architecture Team, Panasonic System Communications Company of North America. "We see an increasing demand for these types of offerings on the Windows 8.1 and Android operating systems as our traditional customers adopt smaller mobile platforms. Proven solutions, like those offered by Smith Micro, will help our customers transition to these new form factor devices as efficiently as possible."
"Smith Micro's QuickLink products are the gold standard in connectivity, used on Windows laptops for years. Now these proven solutions support Android and Windows 8.1 platforms which are becoming more prevalent in public safety, utilities, and transportation, as well as in the BYOD workplace," said Mark An, Senior Product Manager at Smith Micro.
