Viola Systems Strengthens Its Presence in Germany and Austria

Turku, Finland. (September 18, 2006) - Viola Systems, a leader in industrial-grade wireless M2M connectivity solutions, is proud to announce the opening of sales presences in Germany and Austria.

“My company offers a variety of camera solutions from webcams to security applications. I searched the market for months to find a solution which would allow me to control IP cameras wirelessly over the Internet. Finally, I found the Viola M2M Solution, which offers seamless and complete end-to-end connectivity from a remote device (e.g. IP camera) to a local area network,” says Ulrich Lüer from UL.Consult GmbH.

“Ulrich is valuable addition to the Viola team, as he has the required IT and automation industry experience to provide high quality professional services to Viola’s growing customer base in Germany,” says Mika Marjalaakso, Vice President of Business Development of Viola Systems.

Mr. Lüer continues: “In addition to mere Ethernet connectivity, Viola’s products offer a wide variety of industrial interfaces to remote devices. Be it serial interfaces, digital or analog inputs, Viola will connect you quickly and in a reliable manner to the Internet. I foresee a great demand for Viola’s industrial-grade wireless M2M connectivity solutions here in Germany. Many industries and devices such as utilities, intelligent traffic systems, wind turbines, retail/POS will benefit from painless implementation and ease of use the Viola M2M Solution offers.”

Alexander Hermes is a long-time wireless pioneer in Austria and will from now on be responsible for all of Viola’s sales and marketing operations in Austria. “Alexander has a successful track record, for example, in the sales of a multitude of wireless products to Austrian industrial customers.
