Absolute Software Announces Collaborations with Intel and Qualcomm

Absolute Software has announced some big news during the course of this week. In the first announcement, Absolute Software will be working with Qualcomm’s Gobi to provide increased security to enterprise customers in the mobile environment. In the second announcement, Absolute Software has paired with Intel to provide strong anti-theft technology for Centrino laptops.

Yesterday, Absolute Software announced at the CTIA Wireless Show in Las Vegas that they will be adapting Computrace to work with Qualcomm’s Gobi mobile Internet and GPS platform. This will allow for real-time communication between laptops and the asset management and security services in the Computrace suite. This would mean that IT audits and remote data delete commands can be carried out in real time, no matter where the laptop is. You can visit Absolute software at Qualcomm’s booth number 1948, Mobile Enterprise Partner Pod, during the CTIA Wireless Show on April 1, 2 & 3.

Announced today, Absolute Software and Intel are to collaborate to provide integrated anti-theft technology for next generation notebook computers. Absolute Software’s Computrace will be integrated into the Intel Anti-Theft Technology suite later this year. Absolute’s core expertise in IT asset management, data protection and computer theft recovery services will enhance a whole suite of new Intel Centrino laptops.
