Novatium Launches $100 PC

Techtree News Staff, Jul 25, 2008 0800 hrs IST

With a price tag of MR 4300 for the netPC in Mauritius, Novatium is targeting PC penetration in 1,00,000 households by 2012.


Novatium Solutions, a provider of rich computing as a service, announced the launch of their $100 PC - the Nova netPC - in Mauritius. This launch has been made in collaboration with Mauritius Telecom, the leading broadband providers of Mauritius.

With a price tag of MR 4300 for the netPC in Mauritius, Novatium plans to increase the PC penetration to 1,00,000 households by 2012.


Speaking on the launch, Mr. Alok Singh, CEO Novatium said "This launch is very significant for Novatium as it is our first endeavor in the international market. Novatium has a mission of providing computing to the next billion. It has taken the world more than fifty years to reach the 1 billion mark for installed PCs but the next billion is likely to be crossed in less than a decade. Novatium hopes to speed up this process and cross the next billion sooner than general expectations. This may sound like a tough task, but with a breakthrough product like the netPC, we are confident that we would accomplish our mission."
