Intelligent Instrumentation, a leading manufacturer of rugged networked and wireless data collection terminals designed to improve the performance of supply-chain execution applications, announces the newest addition to their LANpoint‚ family of Windows CE/XPe Intel® X-Scale®-based rugged data collection terminals with the portable pistol grip terminal - LANpoint Mobile. This vertical quarter-screen portable terminal is a rugged and flexible system that offers portable data capture solutions in demanding manufacturing, field services, and warehousing applications. With its embedded Windows CE v4.2 or v5.0 operating system, customers will have built-in access to Microsoft’s .NET Compact framework, with all of its associated tools and management features, which will greatly simplify software application development. The new pistol grip LANpoint MOBILE supports 1D, Extended range 1D, 2D laser scanners as well as an omni-directional Imaging option capable of reading 1D linear and 2D barcodes, OCR fonts and postal codes, along with the ability to capture images. “With the Pistol Grip LANpoint Mobile handheld terminal addition to our product offering, Value Added Resellers, System Integrators and end users can now cover a broad range of applications with just one vehicle and shop floor terminal and portable handheld data collection vendor. Customers can select one of our vehicle mount computers for pallet picks and put-aways, use our rugged stationary terminals for shop floor control or production tracking, and then equip their distribution center personnel with our new LANpoint Mobile handheld data collection terminals for ‘pick and run’ applications,” says Paul Liska, Data Collection Product Manager for Intelligent Instrumentation. “Support and training costs are also minimized, because developers have to support only one operating system, and the warehouse workers only have to learn one application ‘look and feel’ on our devices.” Intelligent Instrumentation’s expanded Windows CE/XPe and Intel XScale-based LANpoint data collection terminals demonstrate the company’s ongoing commitment to producing leading edge technology for real-time data sharing throughout the enterprise. This new line of rugged data collection terminals feature Microsoft’s® latest CE/XPe operating systems, provide wireless communications via 802.11b/g WLAN or CDMA/GSM WWAN, and are designed to support a broad range of AutoID technologies, including RFID, barcode, mag stripe and biometrics. By standardizing the LANpoint data collection vehicle, shop floor and portable handheld terminals on Microsoft’s proven embedded CE/XPe architecture, our products will fully support the newest development tools available for rapid application deployment and device management. This state-of-the-art product line can provide a lower cost of ownership and greater return on investment, and aligns the customer’s business with future emerging technologies and applications.Construction: • Palmheld or Pistol-Grip • Integrated Stylus Holder • Hand Strap or Lanyard (stretchable, adjustable and removable) • Co-molded, not over-molded, for ruggedness • Ergonomic design Operating System: • Windows CE .NET 4.2 with .NET Compact Framework 1.0, or Windows CE 5.0 with .NET Compact Framework 2.0 • Intel Xscale PXA255, 400MHz processor • 128MB RAM, 96MB Flash • Persistent Storage (Data, System Files, Registry) • Compact Flash Slot (Integrated or Optional User Accessible) • SD/MMC (User Accessible) End Cap or Docking Station Accessories for expanded functionality: • RS232/USB host/USB client • Modem/RS232/USB host/USB client • Mag stripe reader (future) Communications: • IEEE802.11b/g (WLAN)(optional) • Cingular GSM/GPRS (WWAN)(optional) • Bluetooth (WPAN)(optional) • Full RS-232 • USB 1.1 host for barcode scanners, keyboard, printers, etc. • USB 1.1 client for syncing with a host Display: • 3.5" QVGA (240x320) • 64K Color • Transflective/Sunlight Readable • Touch Screen with stylus or finger • Integral, convenient stylus holder • Backlit (varying levels software controlled and keyboard on/off) Indicators: • Front panel LED’s • Charge Indication (Yellow/Green) • Programmable LED (Green) • Integrated Vibrator Keypad: • 49 key, full alphanumeric, plus 2 side Scan keys • 12 Function Keys, (4 dedicated, 8 shifted) • Backlit, software controlled (on/off) • One centrally located Scan key, Two side Scan Keys (ergonomic/right or left-hand operation).
