Red-M partners with Insite to deliver Bluetooth solutions to the European education market

Johannesburg, 20 Oct 2000

Red-M, a pioneering developer of Bluetooth solutions and subsidiary of Madge Networks N.V, announces today that it will work in partnership with Swedish e-learning company, INSITE, to bring the benefits of technology to the distance learning and market in Europe.

INSITE is one of Scandinavia`s leading providers of interactive training and e-learning solutions for large service-oriented companies. Red-M`s 3000AS access server provides reliable mobile access to the Internet and local Intranet from Bluetooth-enabled devices. The 3000AS, combined with the 1000AP access point, enables a Bluetooth network to be provided inside a building or public concourse for the delivery of next generation mobile services across a wide range of applications. The collaboration between the two companies will enable students to access training courses over a wireless connection, bringing greatly increased speed and flexibility to their studies.

Michael Koch, CEO, INSITE, comments, "Our partnership with Red-M enables us to extend our service offering, far beyond that of our competitors. We can now provide our clients with more accessible and flexible e-learning solutions, free from the constraints of fixed-wire networks. We believe Bluetooth technology will have a huge impact on our market sector - revolutionizing the way students study for qualifications."

Simon Gawne, VP of Marketing and Business Development at Red-M, says, "Bluetooth is set to bring substantial benefits to the education market. We are committed to pioneering its implementation in this key vertical sector. Red-M`s products will allow INSITE to offer its customers all the benefits usually associated with interactive distance learning, now using a wireless Bluetooth connection."
