Anti-theft Tablet PCs for IT managers

AUSTIN, TEXAS: Motion Computing announced from the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit that the complete line of Motion Tablet PCs now feature the new Intel Core vPro Processors for enhanced security, performance and manageability. In collaboration with Intel, Motion has added support for Intel Anti-Theft Technology (Intel AT) which helps deter theft, and protect valuable data in the event that a tablet is lost or stolen.

Enterprises are realizing significant operational benefits by equipping mobile workers with devices that through real time access to information improve customer service, team collaboration, revenue and more,” said Mike Stinson, VP of Marketing, Motion Computing. “Motion is committed to ensuring that our customers can continue to reap the rewards of mobile productivity by ensuring that our tablet PCs can be secure and protected.”

“Motion Computing is taking advantage of Intel Anti-Theft Technology to deliver innovative slate tablet PCs that give IT the ability to disable lost or stolen devices,” said Anand Pashupathy, General Manager, Anti-Theft Services Business Unit, Intel PC Client Group. “With this advanced capability, enterprises can deploy Motion’s highly mobile computing solutions with more confidence, knowing that Intel Anti-Theft Technology is helping protect the devices."

In addition to rendering a device inoperable in the event that it is lost or stolen, Intel AT also allows IT managers to re-activate and restore a recovered device to full functionality without damage to the hardware or data. Through a pre-provisioned passphrase or by a recovery token generated by IT, recovered tablet PC’s can quickly be put back into use
