According to research figures to be released in Venture Development Corp.'s 2005 Enterprise Mobility Research Service, Intermec Technologies Corp. is the worldwide market share leader for rugged PDAs. VDC, an independent technology market research and consulting firm, is the leading source of information for this sector. VDC is scheduled to release its report in mid-August. The rugged PDA category covers PDAs and mobile computers with pen input capabilities, limited keyboard sizes and diagonal touch screens 3.5 inches to 4 inches. The category includes Intermec's popular 700 Series and CN Series of mobile computers. Intermec mobile computers, automatic data collection systems and RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies are used worldwide to help companies operate more productively and efficiently. Fueled by a strong culture of innovation, Intermec has invented many of the revolutionary technologies that today make it possible for businesses to track goods and services, including the world's first pen computer, the world's most widely used bar code symbology and smart battery management technology used by the world's leading laptop manufacturers. "The rugged PDA, a subset of the rugged mobile computing market, is one of the fastest growing rugged mobile computing product segments," said David Krebs, director of VDC's Mobile and Wireless practice. "Intermec's emergence as the leading rugged PDA vendor is a testament to the success of the 700 Series and its innovative approach to product design." The rugged Intermec 700 Color Series of mobile computers, all with Intel(R) processors and Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile(R) for Pocket PC, are designed from the ground up for worry-free operation in challenging, mission-critical environments. Powerful communications capabilities, which allow operation of up to three radios at a time (WWAN, WLAN and Bluetooth), and Intermec's broad range of high-performance scanning technologies allow the 741, 751 and 761 to handle image and signature capture. The versatile CN30 establishes a new standard for enterprise mobile computing that maximizes flexibility and offers the lowest possible total cost of ownership. Capable of converting between a pen notepad-style and key-based mobile computer, the modular-based CN30 system is powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile for Pocket PC and Intel processor, with high-performance imaging, wireless, security and communications systems. The Intermec CN2 mobile computer, introduced this year, is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, yet provides a rugged and reliable mobile data collection terminal for tough field computing applications. With an Intel processor and Microsoft's Windows CE .NET operating system, the CN2 offers an ideal balance of real-time data collection performance and full-shift power management functionality. Its Wi-Fi(R) 802.11b/g-certified, Cisco Certified Extensions-compatible radio provides the best-available wireless network throughput and reliability, and its wireless security features support the highest level of protection. Integration of Intermec's best-in-class linear imaging technology makes the CN2 the ultimate low-cost, high-performance mobile data collection terminal.
