ALTRINCHAM, England, August 19 /PRNewswire/ --     Maxatec has signed an agreement with Group Sense Mobile-Tech Limited
"GSML", Hong Kong, to distribute its range of mobile computing devices in the
United Kingdom.

Group Sense Group, ISO-9001 and ISO-14000 certified company, was founded
in 1988 and is now one of the leading manufacturers of electronic
dictionaries and other rugged handheld information devices. In 1996, the
Group launched the world's first PDA device operating on a Chinese language
platform. Since 2000, the Group has been manufacturing the Xplore series of
PDAs, featuring magnesium cases, bilingual user interface and 'open-platform'
operating system to enable companies to develop customised applications.

As well as the Xplore series, the GSML range comprises the world's first
bi-lingual data-centric GSM PDA as well as an award-winning all-in-one Palm
OS-based smartphone.

Francis Li, Marketing Director of Group Sense Mobile-Tech Ltd said: "We
aimed at creating value through design and manufacture of innovative and
customized unique products and services to our partners. The DT series PDA
devices were designed as unique features, high quality and stable mobile
computing devices for various industries such as retail, logistic, mobile POS
etc after a thorough study of market requirements for years. Besides DT350
and DT351, GSML will continue focusing to design and introduce more mobile
computing devices to the industries."

Maxatec will concentrate on distributing the Xplore series of products
from GSML and specifically the DT-350 and DT-351 PDA devices. These PDAs are
a unique and low cost wireless, mobile solution. The products boast enhanced
Wi-Fi stability and include features such as single SSID enforcement and
"Wi-Fi Always On" connection.

Andrea Percival, director of Maxa Technologies (Maxatec) said: "The
products from GSML are really unique and add another dimension to our range
of mobile computing devices. GSML have taken the time to look at market
requirements in great detail and come up with a rugged handheld
(http://www.maxatec-europe.com/rugged-handhelds.shtml) product that is not
only unique and high quality, but also pitched at a very competitive price
point. From a technology perspective, the Xplore DT series has been designed
to be easy to use and flexible as well as offering enhanced Wi-Fi features
and enhanced power management capabilities."

Percival continued: "The addition of mobile computing devices to the
Maxatec range has been a huge success and has enabled us to build on existing
partnerships as well as create new opportunities in the mobile segment. We
are very pleased to be working with GSML and look forward to delivering this
product set to both existing and new customers."

The Xplore products have a built-in system back-up feature which enables
enterprises to clone and install PDA images for mass deployment in a cost
effective and less time consuming manner. There are two modes of operation,
Administration and User modes. The PDA device is targeted specifically at
industry and as such, entertainment features such as music, video and games
have been removed. In addition, the vibration alert, configurable LED
signalling and configurable short-cut key allow enterprises to develop unique
applications to meet specific business needs.
