Roper Mobile Technology builds rugged mobile computers that are designed to withstand abuse and harsh weather.
Roper Mobile's DAP line of Windows CE-based handhelds are built to meet military specifications for extreme temperatures, shock, vibration and moisture.
They are also powerful enough to run a wide variety of software, including applications developed with Ittia Database.
The research and development team at Ittia has rigorously tested database-driven applications running on DAP hardware.
Information collected on the device is stored in a database, and the user interface is driven by configuration parameters in the database.
Data is safely shared between multiple threads and applications running on the device.
Thanks to Ittia Database's cross-platform architecture, data can be accessed over the network by applications running on platforms such as Windows and Linux.
"Because applications developed for embedded systems and handheld devices frequently run for long periods of time, and interact with the network and other devices, they are vulnerable to loss of data".
"As a result, companies are demanding technologies that address these vulnerabilities".
"Confirming our software offering on Roper Mobile's DAP computers supports our customers who require handheld devices with rich capabilities", said Sasan Montaseri, Ittia President.
