Johannesburg, 06 May 1999

Ukukhanya Electronics, the mobile division of Ukukhanya Technologies which is to list in June, will be launching a new range of mobile technology solutions at the Computer Faire.

Ukukhanya Electronics, the sole distributors of Teklogix and Husky products in Southern Africa, will release the Husky Fex21 at the show. This mobile information device (MID) is the world`s first rugged handheld PC incorporating MicrosoftWindows CE.

National sales manager of Ukukhanya Electronics, Keith Carey, said "the Fex21 has the ability to communicate via wireless `back-to-office` across a variety of networks. Using a wireless LAN compatible multi PC-card, the handheld has both telephony and Internet capabilities.

"The result is a real-time information device allowing for continuous access to IT field communicators through the integration GSM cellular standards for voice calls, data communications and faxing, as well as access to the Internet, Intranet, local and wide area networks," he noted.

The Husky LaserScan 1200, is a new modular bar-code laser scanner designed exclusively for the award-winning Husky FS series of rugged handheld computers. It enables laser-based scanning to enter new application areas while reducing risk in existing solutions.

The lightweight Teklogix 7040 user-programmable, IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless hand-held terminal, with integrated scanning capabilities is also to be launched.

Created for use in a variety of applications, the 7040 is compatible with all wireless networks conforming to the IEEE 802.11 open architecture 2,4Ghz frequency hopping or direct sequence spread-spectrum standards.

With its 32-bit 486-based CPU, up to 4Mb of RAM and 8Mb of flash memory, the compact, ergonomic design of the 7040`s programmable terminal meets the needs of today`s mobile workforce.

In addition the Teklogix 9400 Network Controller will be on show. Designed specifically for the high volume of transactions in manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and logistics applications, it offers a variety of network connectivity choices. Leveraging its modular design, the 9400 allows connectivity to networks via Token Ring and Ethernet TCP/IP networks supporting up to four concurrent LAN interfaces.

"The new 9400 provides versatile, unparalleled processing power to support large wireless systems. In addition, it can communicate with up to nine hosts running different connectivities simultaneously, which no other RF vendor can do," explained Carey.
