Axis Communications has signed an agreement with leading French
integrator and barcodes solution provider, Technyx, for the delivery of
AXIS Device Server Platform. The initial order value is close to 100,000
Euros, with potential for larger volumes.
The agreement with Technyx adds further proof of Axis' strength as a
leading provider of technology for network connectivity. This order
follows three earlier volume orders for AXIS Device Server Platforms
from third-party developers in the last six months.
Technyx specializes in communication solutions that utilize barcode
technology to allow customers to connect dedicated barcode equipment to
wide area networks within enterprises. The device servers to be
delivered within this agreement are an integrated part of Technyx's
newly launched gateway solution. The gateway offers users an open
standard for sharing data over central servers, regardless of the type
of terminal (lap top, handheld PC, mobile phone etc.) the user works
from. The solution also offers remote access to services that permit
execution of online batch jobs on central host servers.
"We decided to go for Axis' technology as a base for our solution
because of its outstanding performance compared to other embedded
devices," says Nabil Daher, Products Manager of Technyx. "By investing
in a product-ready, Linux-based kernel, we can significantly reduce
development time and shorten time-to-market. Choosing a recognized
technology and a well-known operating system like Linux is essential to
reducing costs and risks. It also facilitates the addition of new
technologies to our offering in the future."
Axis is committed to open-source development and actively supports
application development using Axis' technology. More information,
including reference designs and technical documentation, is available on
