Intermec Extends Industry Leading 70 Series Ultra-Rugged Mobile Computer Family with Anytime, Anywhere Mobile Broadband Connectivity and Faster Processing
EVERETT, Wash. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Intermec, Inc. (NYSE: IN) today announced it will offer two new
enhancements to the industry leading 70 Series product family - a new 1
GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 3715 processor and a Wide Area Flexible
Network radio based on Qualcomm Incorporated's Gobi 3G
connectivity technology.
"By incorporating these industry leading enhancements, Intermec vastly
reduces connectivity limitations with the ability to deploy the 70
Series on virtually any 3G network and increases the speed of business
with faster processing power," said Earl Thompson, Intermec Senior Vice
President, Mobile Solutions Business Unit. "This increased flexibility
reinforces Intermec's commitment to delivering best-in-class rugged
mobile computers with the capabilities necessary to conduct business
anywhere, anytime in the field."
The new 1 GHz industrial grade superscalar multi-engine processor
provides customers running data-hungry applications with the fastest,
most responsive platform available. Along with a quicker processer, the
70 Series also maintains its best-in-class power management and battery
life performance to avoid unnecessary downtime.
In addition, the 70 Series now comes equipped with a Flexible Network
radio that will provide on-the-fly, Wide Area Network selection
capability. Based on Qualcomm's Gobi 3000 embedded module, the Flexible
Network radio enables fast data communications on both CDMA and UMTS
wireless networks.
"The enhancements to the 70 Series portfolio allow us to keep our
customers' needs met as they work toward best-in-class operations in
today's fast-paced business climate," said Jim Ledbetter, President of
Barcom Inc. "Through continuous innovation in hardware, software
services and integrated solutions, Intermec helps my customers realize
the full potential of their workflow processes."
Available as an option for three of the four 70 Series models - the
CN70, CN70e and CK70 - organizations with global deployments are now
able to procure and support one wireless device that works on multiple
networks while reducing their investments in device spare pools.
Complemented with Intermec's unique software technologies, the 70 Series
will deliver automatic and seamless "in route" switching between carrier
networks providing customers with the flexibility to choose the network
with the best geographic coverage and lowest cost.
