News Racotek completes deployment for Unisys mobile data system
Racotek, Minneapolis, is completing work for the deployment of a mobile data system for Unisys to communicate with more than 2,000 workers in its field service operations in the United States. Data units for more than half of the company’s U.S. field service workers are operational, and additional workers worldwide will be added in 1997.
RAM solicited Racotek in December 1995 to substitute for a subcontractor that unexpectedly ceased operations. Racotek assumed the contract obligations and completed required changes and testing to enable the desired worldwide mobile data system. The system will evolve in several directions, including enabling new portable platforms such as Windows 95. Racotek will also support communications enabling software technologies directly for Unisys.
