Varlink, the York-based specialist mobile computing and data capture hardware distributor, reportedly has become a U.K. Distributor for Unitech handheld portable terminals, industrial PDAs and RFID readers.

 

“We are very excited about this partnership and opening up of new market opportunities in the U.K. for Unitech products. Whilst the Unitech brand is already well-recognized in the U.K. as one of the world’s leading providers of rugged PDAs, we are delighted to have been chosen as their leading “Mobility Partner” for the U.K. market place,” said Sabine Kelly, marketing manager, Varlink in a statement.

 

Kelly said that the company is confident that the introduction of their mobile computing devices will be well received within Channel and will help the resellers unlock opportunities for enterprise mobility applications.

Unitech is a recognized worldwide manufacturer of rugged PDAs, with Unitech Europe one of the fastest growing vendors in the Auto ID market place.

 

“Our partnership with Unitech is another key milestone in our company and their terminals offer a perfect fit to our product offering. This partnership opens for us tremendous business opportunities with the convergence of rugged, ergonomic terminals offering mobility for accurate data capture applications,” said Bill Gordon, technology director, Varlink.

 

Commenting on the latest new units launched by Unitech - the PA600 Phone (News - Alert) Edition Mobile Computer and the PA600 Healthcare PDA, he said that the company strongly believes that both will help create many business opportunities for the customers and will expand the industrial mobile computing market.

 

He said that the PA600 offers the perfect balance between size, functionality and price, so customers are paying for a device that offers every element of functionality they need, without paying any price premium for functionality which they don’t need.
