Subtitle: Product range to be expanded with Android

Hannover / Germany, 27/02/2012. (euro adhoc) - Hoeft & Wessel is
expanding its range of mobile terminals with the Android operating
system. The new units will go on exhibit for the first time at the
EuroCIS. The IT company recently introduced the first mobile terminal
loaded with the Android OS for commercial applications. The new
terminal is part of the skeye.dart model range, a particularly robust
handheld in PDA format. Now the top-selling model for the German
retail trade, the skeye.allegro series, is also available preloaded
with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). The distinguishing feature of this
terminal, which also allows single-handed operation, is its landscape
display: it gives the operator the same look & feel as when working
on a PC. Soon to arrive is the skeye.e-motion series, again a
particularly robust handheld with a large touch display in tablet
format, running the Android 2.3 OS.

Accordingly, Hoeft & Wessel will now be offering its top line ranges
of mobile terminals also with the leading smartphone operating
system. Customers in the wholesale, retail and logistics sectors will
be able to benefit from Android´s strengths, such the diverse range
of programming options, the many applications that are available, and
the intuitive user interface.

Thanks to the company´s constant development efforts, all mobile
terminals from Hoeft & Wessel are equipped with powerful ARM
microprocessors and large storage capacities. Secure WLAN modules and
radio communications technologies ranging from UMTS right through to
HSDPA 3G ensure fast data transmission. The scope of application of
the various Skeye brand model series ranges from support applications
as diverse as data capture in branches, forklift operations in the
field of logistics and deployment in field services. Customers have a
choice of display sizes from 2.8" to 8.4" and options such as imaging
devices, laser scanners and RFID readers. Development frameworks for
use in software development and a device management system
facilitating automatic configuration and installation of mobile
terminals complete the company's range of offerings.

The early introduction of the Android operating system is in keeping
with Hoeft & Wessel´s corporate philosophy, which is to offer
customers a choice of operating systems which can be customised to
suit their particular requirements.

"The response to our Android initiative has been very encouraging.
Trading companies, logistics operators as well as our value-added
partners are showing great interest. We expect Android running on
mobile terminals to make a successful entry into commerce and
logistics," says Hoeft & Wessel Management Board member Thomas Wolf
confidently.
