With PanGo Network's 802.11-based active RFID location management solution distributed over the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network, companies can reliably extend location-based services on a facility-wide basis. This capability enables operations executives at hospitals and other large enterprises to leverage their wireless infrastructure investment to quickly locate critical equipment and improve staff efficiency. It also provides the peace of mind that comes from buying from trusted technology providers.

"Hospitals and healthcare organizations are among the most demanding buyers of innovative technology, requiring that solutions deliver tangible value from the start," said Mike McGuinness, president and CEO of PanGo. "This partnership with MobileAccess expands our customers' ability to realize immediate returns from the infrastructure investments that are critical for the deployment of rapidly emerging applications like real-time Wi-Fi-based asset tracking."

PanGo's innovative location management solution has been certified for operation over a MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network deployment. Moving forward, the companies will continue to collaborate on next-generation location-based wireless offerings for additional markets.

"Wireless applications and technologies have rapidly become critical in today's enterprise environments. More than ever, organizations are striving to bolster the business case for a wireless infrastructure that connects the people and applications that drive business," said Cathy Zatloukal, president and CEO of MobileAccess. "Applications like Pango's Wi-Fi-based location management solution that seamlessly interoperate with the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network can deliver an immediate, revenue-generating return on an organization's investment."

Both MobileAccess and PanGo have been building momentum fueled by increased demand for enterprise wireless network solutions. MobileAccess recently announced double-digit growth in their overall business with accelerating traction in healthcare, marked by recent installations at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Clarian North Medical Center, and Denver Health. In addition to their alliance with MobileAccess, PanGo has entered into several new partnerships with leading third-party healthcare and business solution providers including Eclipsys, Emergin and Four Rivers Software Systems. Denver Health and El Camino Hospital are among new users of PanGo's Wi-Fi-based location management platform and asset tracking application.
