In anticipation of the demand for a host of diverse next generation products, Xircom, Inc. has introduced its embedded GSM / GPRS radio solution that will provide engineers with the tools necessary for embedding wireless functionality into virtually any Internet appliance.

Mobileinfo Comments and Advisory: Good offering from Xircom. Perhaps Intel saw this before they bought Xircom! Before we applaud Xircom for introducing this product, we ask for a realistic pricing for product integrators so that they can build affordable products for the enterprise users. We think, Intel knows that game very well.  Therefore, it should help Xircom and Intel as well.

Note: This news release may contain forward-looking statements. Readers should take appropriate caution in developing plans utilizing these products, services and technology architectures.
