ProScan announces the availability of the Intermec 700 Series Colour mobile computer, which is the first of its kind to integrate up to three wireless communication options in a single device to bring serious enterprise mobility to the workplace.
The three wireless protocols include a wireless local area (802.11b) radio, a GSM/GPRS wide area network radio and a fully integrated power-managed Bluetooth radio.
The release of the Intermec 700 Series Colour comes fast on the heels of the introduction of GPRS in SA by cellular network providers.
The 700 Colour can be configured with up to three radio options in one device. For example, a worker may spend part of his day on premise using LAN access points to operate applications for cross docking or load planning. The same device also could use a WAN network when taken off-premise in a delivery vehicle, covering a much large area, while at the same using Bluetooth-compatible wireless communications to print.
The new 700 Series Colour features a large colour display and combines the power and speed of Intel`s 400MHz X-Scale processor and a scanner to read 2D barcodes, as well as for taking photographs and capturing signatures for applications such as proof of delivery, market surveys or field inspections.
Andrew Fosbrook, Managing Director of ProScan comments, "With the unmatched range of communications options, and the durability to withstand repeated 1.5 metre drops to concrete, the 700 Colour is designed to handle the challenges of real-time daily work, whether on a route or in the field.
"In addition, the 700 Colour is incredibly easy to use, as it features the power of Microsoft Windows for Pocket PC, which combined with the processor, ensures that more applications can be added, and that multi-job functions can be supported."
