USR's new marketing program is for both university and K-12, offering special promotions and discounts, through authorized resellers, on its mobile computing solutions.

Promotions are timed to coincide with key cycles in the education market; for example, a Back-to-School promotion features in-store displays, demo units as well as coupon rebates.

SMART also has special pricing on a full line of PC Card products under the Megahertz, Sportster and AllPoints brand names. U.S. Robotics Mobile Communications Corp., Salt Lake City, UT, (800) LAPTOPS, www.megahertz.com
