Intermec 700 line to run on Rogers network

Intermec
Intermec Technologies’ GSM/GPRS-enabled 700 Color Pocket PC mobile computer has been approved to operate on the Rogers Wireless network, Canada’s largest, digital wireless voice and data network.

The Intermec 700 Color packages up to three wireless communication options in a single device. It features a wireless local area (802.11b) radio, a GSM/GPRS wide area network radio, and a fully integrated power-managed Bluetooth radio. These options allow the same device to be used to communicate status and information in real time from virtually any location, whether via wireless LANs in stores, warehouses, and distribution centres or through a wireless WAN for mobile operations such as delivery vehicles.

Rugged enough to withstand repeated five-foot drops onto concrete, the 700 Color can weather the abuse of shop floor, warehouse and mobile delivery environments. Its colour display is 20-per-cent larger than most similar devices, combined with the power and speed of Intel’s 400 MHz X-Scale processor.

The 700 Color also comes equipped with a powerful 14.4 watt-hour lithium-ion battery and industry-leading power management, so that it can be operated for up to 14 hours before needing to be recharged. Its imager is suitable for reading barcodes (including 2D symbologies), taking photographs, and capturing signatures.
