1st September, 2009 – Tokyo, Japan – Intralink Limited has been appointed by RPO, Inc., the Silicon Valley pioneer of optical touch-screen technology, as its business development partner in Japan. The company's Digital Waveguide Touch™ technology, which is based on its heavily-patented polymer waveguide process, can be applied to any product that benefits from having a touch-screen interface. Supported by RPO's commercial and technical teams located in the United States and Australia, Intralink will focus on handheld applications, such as cellphones, gameplayers and personal navigation devices, by targeting Japan's leading OEMs and module manufacturers.

 “Japan is at the forefront of mobile consumer electronics research, development and manufacturing, and therefore is an extremely important market for RPO,” said Malcolm Thompson, Chairman and CEO of RPO. “The combination of our innovative technology with Intralink’s track record in the Japanese mobile and consumer electronics market places us in a strong position to expand our customer base among some of the world’s leading branded OEMs.” RPO’s Digital Waveguide Touch™ technology provides product planning teams with a solution that addresses the cost, screen brightness, and durability concerns which have been a major issue for touch-screens to date.

Intralink CEO Gregory Sutch said, “RPO’s decision to appoint Intralink is another endorsement by a global technology company of our successful Surrogate Sales Program™. We are delighted and excited by the prospect of working with them.”

Launched in 1997, Intralink’s Surrogate Sales Program™ has provided dozens of venture-backed technology companies with a low-risk, cost-effective and accelerated route to the Japanese and Chinese markets. Managed by bilingual, bicultural teams based in Tokyo, Shanghai and Taipei, the programme has proven highly effective in delivering ROI through transparency, scalability and reduced times to revenue.
