Microvision Teams with Major Distributor WAV to Offer Resellers the Low Cost Flic Laser Bar Code Scanner
2/20/2003 6:31:00 AM
BOTHELL, Wash., Feb 20, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Microvision, Inc.
(Nasdaq:MVIS), a leader in light scanning technologies, and WAV(R) Inc.
(www.wavonline.com), a leading value-added distributor, have announced their
arrangement to market the affordable, yet powerful Flic(TM) hand-held laser bar
code scanner to value-added resellers (VARs).

WAV signifies another important strategic milestone in Microvision’s goal of
building a powerful network of tier one distributors to deliver the Flic(TM)
laser bar code scanner to value- added resellers.

“We are excited to be partnering with WAV to deliver our Flic laser bar code
scanner to an important distribution channel for us,” said Tom Sanko, vice
president of marketing for Microvision. “WAV has an outstanding reputation with
thousands of resellers and is nationally recognized as one of the top
distributors in delivering wireless LAN, portable data collection gear, VoIP
technology and portable printers. With this arrangement, WAV’s extensive
reseller customer base will now be able to conveniently source the Flic scanner
in an efficient and convenient manner. We believe this will help provide us with
a strong and rapid foothold into the large and important reseller community.”

“WAV’s strategy has been to work with the most innovative companies in the
marketplace and Microvision’s Flic product represents an extremely exciting
opportunity for resellers who have been looking to service their customers with
laser bar code scanner performance, at the price of a wand,” said Norm Dumbroff,
President and CEO of WAV. “We are eager to offer this product to the solution
provider community. The simplicity, ease of use and low cost of the Flic scanner
design make it ideally suited to enhance productivity and efficiency at the many
small and medium sized operations, and extend bar coding deeper into large
organizations.”

WAV was named one of America’s entrepreneurial growth leaders for the second
time by Inc. magazine, in its 2002 Inc. 500 ranking of the nation’s
fastest-growing private companies. WAV markets solely to Reseller Business
Partners and acts as an extension of the Reseller providing complementary
technologies, staging, help desk services and technical support.

With an MSRP of $129, Flic comes with free software that will enable even novice
users to “plug and play” so that they can enjoy the benefits of bar code
technology without any of the programming and support requirements common to
today’s bar code reading products. The highly innovative Flicware software
automatically enters scanned bar code data into standard Windows(R)
applications, including a wide array of spreadsheet and database applications,
in a way that is intuitive and easy to use. The company also offers a variety of
accessories that support the product’s ability to be used in many operating
environments. Full details about the product can be found at www.flicscanner.com
