We are a certified Value Added Solutions Provider of the world’s leading manufacturers including Janam Technologies and Motorola.
Our Mission:
Continue in our quest to develop innovative services and applications that provide bottom-line value for our customers that match our world class suite of devices.
From device deployment, servicing and application development, with thousands of units on the streets we know what our customer’s needs.
1-Source ElectronicsWho we are and what we do?
Moore’s Law
Q: Why is it that hardware solutions are outpacing software applications?
A: Software engineers have not been able to keep up with the steady growth of microprocessor technology.
Motorola end of life’s Palm operating system and Window’s 5.0 becomes the world’s dominant mobile computing software. This was done in an attempt to bridge the software and hardware gap.
Reliable Hardware and Stable OS
The Palm operating system gets a second chance.
In 2007, Janam Technologies signed a five-year contract with Palm.
The Palm operating system allows customers to reduce true total cost of ownership on devices that will stand the test of time.
By keeping the Palm operating system alive and well, large companies that invested heavily in the operating system were able to protect their investment, and at the same time, they were able to upgrade their hardware base without rewriting new software.
RFID is the best example of hardware outpacing software applications!
RFID: Why it’s still not practical for SMB’s!

The Future ofWireless Mobile Computing
Technology will change rapidly
– Can your hardware partner keep up?
– Can your software partner keep up
– Do they have a global & capable support team
• Both Technical Support and Break/Fix
– Are they proven and widely installed?
– Can they scale their operations?
– Can they offer you more than just an PDA product?

How Do You Deploy Mobile Computing Solutions for SMB’s?
Identify your or your partners long and short term goals for
wireless and enterprise development.
Establish a budget for the project and ensure your service provider will keep to that budget.
Have the appropriate buy-in across the organization, Upper Management, Operation and IT.
Key business decision makers must buy in to the program efficacy and be willing to invest in the $$$ for infrastructure.
Overruns and over budget will kill a program, your project and team of developers are critical.
Motorola WLAN Products
• WS2000– delivers simplified and cost-effective wired and wireless
networking, significantly reducing upfront and ongoing networking costs.
• WS5100– delivers an unprecedented level of technology simplicity,
operational efficiency and employee productivity, while providing a foundation for the next generation of mobile applications — and brings a new level of cost-efficiency to the mixed RF environment.
• RFS7000– provides robust, highly scalable support for seamless
enterprise mobility.• AP-5131 & AP-5181
– offers the flexibility to connect securely to remote corporate private networks, the Internet and local network resources with the speed and reliability to support the most demanding applications, including real-time video and voice.
Motorola LAN Planner Key Functionality
• Five Key LAN Planner Functions:
1. Adapt the building model to make it “RF Intelligent” and classify user regions by application
2. Place Equipment3. Simulate Wi-Fi Network
Performance4. Measure and Validate
Deployed Network5. Optimize and Fine Tune

The Future ofWireless Mobile Computing
Eventually the Palm operating system, as well as the Windows operating system will be replaced by open source Unix based systems that allow software writers much more flexibility.
Wireless connectivity will be a hybrid between campus Wi-Fi solutions, and Wi-Max, which will start to be implemented on a large scale.
Systems like Motorola’s MSP software will become more efficient.
There is no one solution, we are in a mixed marketplace and device companies like Janam that understand TCO combined with service and application developers are the solution to cost effective deployments to SMB’s.
What is MSP 2.X?
• The Mobility Services Platform (MSP) is a highly scalable hardware and software solution that provides a single point of control for managing mobile devices, mobile applications, and wireless infrastructure elements.
• With full management of fault, configuration, accounting, performance and security support, MSP’s single point of control puts the power at your fingertips to quickly and easily:
• Deploy mobile devices, right out of the box, complete with the right software
• Manage the software on all your mobile devices — automatically and remotely update applications, software and firmware.
