Destiny Wireless officially launched Destiny Wireless South Africa this week.
Destiny delivers digital pen and paper technology that enables the user to send, by e-mail, anything they write or draw.
The pen houses technology that includes an infrared camera, an image processor and a wireless Bluetooth transceiver. These components work together with the Anoto pattern, a series of nearly invisible dots printed on ordinary paper or forms.
When the user ticks a certain box, the information is transmitted via a mobile phone using Bluetooth wireless technology. Alternatively, the pen can store 40 A4 pages of data or approximately 80 A5 pages and this can be downloaded to a PC via a pen docking station.
Destiny will replicate the structures already created in the UK and Australia as country agent for Anoto functionality.
CEO Steve Lunn, former MD of Global Telematics SA, will head the local office. The South African operation will be responsible for further developing relationships forged by the UK with technology partners such as Nokia, Logitech, Oracle and HP.
Destiny says its South African team will also establish relationships with the key local GSM networks in a bid to boost service to Destiny`s clients and obtain the most effective GSM data tariffs.
