OTTAWA and ATLANTA - May 6, 2008 - LXE Inc., the wireless logistics computing business of EMS Technologies, Inc., announced today the opening of its new Service Center in Ottawa to provide ongoing service and support for LXE's customer base and network of partners in the Canadian warehouse and logistics markets.
The Canadian Service Center, located in EMS Technologies' new 105,000 square foot facility will perform equipment repairs on LXE's complete line of rugged wireless handheld, hands-free and vehicle-mount computers. "In this new facility we will deliver on our long-established LXE commitment to fast turnaround on all our products -two days for backbone equipment, three days for terminals and five days for peripherals," says Earl Wolfe, vice president of operations for LXE.
Jacques Lapierre, president of BlueStar Canada, says, "LXE is making a commitment to the Canadian market, their channel partners and end customers who will continue to receive the world-class service they have been accustomed to elsewhere in the Americas."
