Tullio, vice president of worldwide marketing for Lantronix. “We have just kicked off an aggressive global marketing push to build awareness of the Lantronix brand, and securing partnerships with market-leading resellers such as DataVision is a key component to the strategy. Their reach into both consumers and IT professionals should prove invaluable, and the positioning of our xPrintServer in retail side by side with iPads and iPhones should serve to rapidly build brand and drive sales.”
