Motorla has rolled out the newest, smallest and lightest addition to its family of Enterprise Digital Assistants (EDA), the MC55.
The MC55 is designed for mobile workers in and outside an organization’s four walls. It combines the power of a cell phone, two-way radio, bar code scanner, digital camera and mobile computer in a compact and lightweight design to give improved productivity, faster response times and higher service levels.
With those features, the MC55 brings a multitude of real-time communications tools to one point, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of mobile workforces in retail, healthcare, field service, government and public safety sectors.
The MC55 supports the GSM/GPRS/EDGE standard for wireless wide-area networks, giving directions for drivers and real-time fleet location, geo-fencing and bread-crumbing for dispatchers.
To best meet the requirements of a diverse set of mobile workers across multiple industries, the new MC55 EDA is available in two models and multiple configurations. Sporting a monocoque housing, the MC55 is not only rugged to withstand the rigors of everyday use, but is the smallest Motorola mobile computer offering a 3.5 inch display with full keyboard for ease of use.
In addition, Motorola has also developed a wide range of accessories for the MC55, making it highly scalable so as to meet diverse business needs.
Motorola PartnerSelect partners now have more flexibility to provide enterprise customers with the right feature set for different types of workers–instead of all features for all workers–reducing capital expenditures and the overall cost of a mobility solution.
“As a leader in the handheld mobile computing market, Motorola constantly innovates to provide customers with the most versatile enterprise mobility tools for improving productivity and streamlining operational efficiencies,” said Bob Chen, VP and GM of Mobile Computing,Motorola Enterprise Mobility.
“The MC55 illustrates Motorola’s ability to help mobile workers work without boundaries, with robust connectivity to mission-critical business applications in a compact business-class device.”
The MC55 is based on the Marvell XScale PXA270 520 MHz processor and Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system to provide increased interoperability with existing enterprise infrastructure, enhanced security features, a flexible development platform and improved mobile messaging.
The MC55 EDA family of products also offers a variety of data capture options to provide increased flexibility among mobile workforces, including a 1D laser scanner or 2D imager. A 2-megapixel auto-focus high-resolution digital color camera can be added to either the scanner or imager to allow for easy capture of a signature (document capture) or a photograph (image capture) for proof of condition or delivery.
