Italy Wirelessly Enables Its Senators With ACCESS Netfront Internet Browser for Pocket PC
TOKYO, FREMONT, Calif., OBERHAUSEN, Germany, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- ACCESS Co., Ltd., (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 4813), a global provider of mobile content delivery and Internet access technologies, announced that Cartesio S.p.A, one of Italy's most renowned systems integrators, declared ACCESS' NetFront v3.1 browser for Pocket PC as the best, all-round Internet browser available for Pocket PC devices and selected it as the browser solution to wirelessly enable Senate members of the Republic of Italy. Cartesio S.p.A favored NetFront v3.1 browser for Pocket PC over Microsoft's own Pocket Internet Explorer browser.
The Senate of the Republic of Italy was looking for a wireless solution that would allow its members to securely access email and back-office applications while they are away from the office. Cartesio S.p.A, assisting the Senate with its decision, found NetFront 3.1 for Pocket PC to be the best, all-around Internet browser currently available for Pocket PC environments and devices as well as the best choice to support the requirements from the Italian Senate.
"The Senate of the Republic of Italy tasked us to supply them with the most advanced and flexible wireless solution, one that could be easily integrated with its current email and back-office environment," said Mario Aurelio Forgione, president of Cartesio S.p.A. "After carefully reviewing offerings from several vendors in the space, we selected ACCESS' NetFront browser as the best solution to support the Senate's current and future requirements."
"ACCESS has worked very hard to provide the most advanced browser technologies to the broadest number of mobile platforms, including the Pocket PC platform," said Toru Arakawa, president and CEO of ACCESS. "The decision by Cartesio S.p.A to use NetFront v 3.1 browser for Pocket PC to wirelessly enable the Senate of the Republic of Italy demonstrates that the mobile market is responding positively to our efforts."
