Seiko Epson to develop Microsoft Windows Rally technology based products

Japanese company Seiko Epson Corp. has announced that they would now be developing a range of products based on a Microsoft’s Windows Rally technology. These products would be for the wireless networked devices.

Incidentally, Windows Rally is one of the several new features introduced in the recently launched Windows Vista operating system.

It has been designed to simplify setup, security, and management of networked devices. It comes loaded with features like Windows Connect Now for easy Wi-Fi setup; Plug and Play Extensions (PnP-x) for easy installation of networked-connected devices; and the Link Layer Topology Discovery protocol for easy discovery of networked devices.

Epson added that they have now licensed the technology from Microsoft. Printers are likely to be some of the first products from the company to feature this new technology.
