Business Wire
Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider of
mission-critical communication products, software and services for
enterprise and government customers, today announced the
availability of Motorola RhoElements, a state-of-the-art web-based
application framework. It is designed to allow businesses to
quickly and cost-effectively develop and deploy web-based
applications on existing Motorola Windows Embedded Handheld
(formerly known as Windows Mobile) and Windows Embedded Compact
(Win-CE) mobile computers as well as Motorola’s recently announced
ET1 Android-based enterprise tablet.
Motorola RhoElements is the first of several product releases
targeted at developers within Motorola’s customer base and
PartnerEmpower ecosystem. Leveraging Motorola’s widely deployed
PocketBrowser product, a framework for web-based line-of-business
applications, RhoElements provides an important new way to develop
applications on existing Windows-based industrial mobile computers
and offers a bridge for seamless application support on future
mobile computing devices and operating systems.
Motorola also announced that it acquired Rhomobile on July 29,
2011. Motorola expects to announce additional cross-platform
application development tools, enterprise integration components
and cloud-based services for channel partners and customers
leveraging Rhomobile’s product suite in the coming months.
RHOELEMENTS KEY FACTS
- RhoElements provides a modern
HTML5/advanced JavaScript/CSS application framework for
high-performance web-based applications, enabling customers to
transition from terminal emulation solutions or legacy
browser-based applications to more powerful and user-friendly
web-based applications.
- RhoElements allows enterprise customers
and PartnerEmpower partners to leverage the productivity of
web-based applications, which offer reduced application
development, management and support costs.
- RhoElements allows developers to offer
enterprise users applications with a consumer-style look and feel

application caching and web storage, developers can optimize
network utilization and enable continuous operation when users
temporarily lose connectivity.
- RhoElements exposes web developers to
device-level application programming interfaces (APIs) to take
advantage of the enterprise-rich features found in Motorola
enterprise mobile computers.
- The first version of RhoElements will
provide support for the Motorola enterprise tablet (ET1) running
the Android™ operating system and Motorola mobile devices running
Windows Embedded Handheld 6.5, Windows Embedded CE 5 and 6 and
Windows Embedded Compact 7.
- RhoElements 1.0 is available
immediately for download.
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Suhas Uliyar, chief solutions architect for mobile computing,
Motorola Solutions
“Motorola’s PartnerEmpower channel partners and customers are
increasingly challenged by the need to develop, maintain and manage
enterprise applications with compelling user experiences across
multiple operating system and device platforms. With the
introduction of RhoElements, the acquisition of Rhomobile and our
overall developer tools strategy, Motorola Solutions is helping to
position the enterprise mobile computing industry for the future by
reducing the impact of operating system disruption and easing the
pain of migration from legacy solutions to the next generation of
devices and applications in the market.”
Chris Koterski, vice president of mobile solutions,
Stratix
“Stratix views the use of HTML5 as the next generation for
providing truly cross-platform mobile applications. Today our
award-winning Stratix Mobile Applications deliver modern
consumer-style user interfaces, leveraging the latest in HTML5
technologies for iOS and Android-based smartphones and tablets. We
are excited to see that Motorola Solutions is truly showing market
leadership by delivering the industry’s first HTML5-based Webkit
engine to Windows Mobile and Windows CE for its enterprise class
devices, which not only enable rich user interfaces but also
integrate with critical device-level capabilities that are core to
our business.”
Steve Reynolds, chief executive officer, TBS Enterprise
Mobility Ltd
“One of the major challenges independent software vendors (ISVs)
face developing mobile applications today is identifying the right
tools to develop an application once and deploy on many platforms.
With RhoElements, ISVs are finally empowered to create rich,
sophisticated and visually pleasing enterprise-class applications
that can now access the full potential of the device, such as the
camera and barcode readers, which can then be deployed on to
multiple mobile operating systems.”
