SAN FRANCISCO - May 16, 2007 - Mocana, a software company that is enabling a secure networked society, today announced its acquisition of key assets of Mimas Technologies, Inc. and Mimas Technologies Pvt Ltd. Through the acquisition, Mocana is forming its first product development center in India located in Pune, and expanding its wireless expertise in securing all aspects of data communications for any connected device.
