RedPraire`s Retail Productivity Solution First Software to be Certified on MX8
Handheld Computer with Windows® Mobile 6.1
ATLANTA & SAN ANTONIO--(Business Wire)--
LXE Inc., a division of EMS Technologies, Inc., announced today that RedPrairie
Corporation will be the first company to certify its software for use on the MX8
rugged mobile computer with the Windows Mobile® 6.1 operating system. 

The MX8 handheld computer will be utilized as part of the RedPrairie Store
Inventory Management, a leading web-based enterprise back-office solution
specifically targeted at the Petroleum and Convenience Store industry - an
industry that increasingly is expanding its retail offerings to include more
in-store merchandise, food service and other services. 

"This combination of our software with LXE`s hardware is particularly well
suited for the nature and challenge of running a petroleum and convenience
retail location," says Gary Morgan, vice president of Technical Services,
RedPrairie. "LXE`s ergonomic lightweight, yet extremely rugged terminal provides
a robust platform for execution of the inventory and merchandise management
functions for which RedPrairie`s Store Inventory Management solution is known." 

The MX8 handheld computer will also be a dynamic addition to the other
RedPrairie software suites that support general retail and grocery-drug retail
environments. 

"Over the last year, LXE has seen strong interest from retailers in the
convenience store market," comments Steve Newell, general manager of LXE. "Our
advanced work with RedPrairie ensures that customers are presented with a
best-in-class solution designed to meet the inventory-optimization needs of fuel
and convenience store retailers." 

The MX8 handheld computer with Windows Mobile® 6.1 operating system is the
latest in LXE`s family of handheld computing products.
