(InfoWorld) - Motorolaâs Greg Brown was channeling Winston Churchill last week when he announced his companyâs plans to take on the BlackBerry market with wireless devices for all manner of enterprise jobs. âWe will address the needs of mobile workers in the office, out in the field, in the factory, at retail, and across the supply chain,â said Brown, president of Motorolaâs network and enterprise business. Hey! What about âon the landing groundsâ? But big talk was the order of the day, as Brown tried to explain what Motorola hopes to do after it digests its $3.9 billion acquisition of Symbol Technologies. Symbolâs stock and trade is handheld computers and bar-code scanners used to capture data in warehouses and factories. If you have signed for a UPS package recently, the chances are you did so on a Symbol device. Motorolaâs specialty, on the other hand, is WANs. The plan is to join the two and push more wireless data devices into all corners of the enterprise by cutting across devices, infrastructure, applications, and services, Brown said. âSymbolâs strength in capturing, moving, and managing data inside the building directly complements â¦ Motorolaâs network capabilities outside of the building,â Brown said. Motorola is already envisioning the types of products and services it will be able to offer. For example, Symbol is a leader in RFID, the short-range wireless technology that companies are just beginning to use to track products and assets. Motorola would like to expand RFIDâs reach by combining cellular, Wi-Fi, WiMax, and RFID in a way that can help enterprises track products throughout their lifecycles, spanning private networks inside offices and public networks outside, said Ed Zander, Motorolaâs chairman and chief executive. Symbol is developing wireless devices catering to various industries, such as medical, transportation, and retail. âI looked at all the devices and imagined the Wi-Fi and WiMax play,â Zander said. Motorola also sees opportunities in Symbolâs enterprise WLAN business. Symbol has deployed 45,000 such networks that will eventually need to be upgraded to higher speeds. And there are still lots of enterprises that have yet to install their first wireless networks, Zander added.

(InfoWorld) - One of Europe's largest shoe companies plans to embed wireless chips in shoes sold at hundreds of stores across the continent. Under a deal announced Friday, Checkpoint Systems will provide RenoÂ with RFID (radio frequency identification) tags and store tagging systems. The tagging specialist will deliver wafer-thin RFID chips designed especially for shoes from its Asian production facilities, in addition to systems that allow check-out clerks to quickly and easily deactivate tagged products. By having the tags integrated into it shoes, Reno aims to curb theft for both boxed products and those on display, as well as shoes customers try on in the stores. Reno has been using RFID technology to track product shipments from its factories to its stores for several years but has not yet used the technology to track individual products inside each store. The shoe company, based in Thaleischweiler-Froschen, Germany, operates more than 700 stores in 15 countries. It is a member of the Hamm-Reno-Group (HR Group), which has more than 1,700 outlets across Europe. Last year, Checkpoint Systems landed a deal with GermanÂ retail giant MetroÂ to supply RFID systems. The German retail giant, with more 2,300 supermarkets and wholesale, department and electronics stores, is collaborating with several IT companies, including IBM, Intel, and SAP, and more than 40 additional consumer goods and technology suppliers to develop RFID systems for the retail sector. RFID tagging is expected to be a main theme at this year's Cebit trade show, which begins March 15 in Hanover, Germany.
