Features & Benefits

The Mobile Workhorse The WORKABOUT PRO is relied on every day in mobile-intensive applications such as asset tracking, meter reading, and mobile ticketing across a variety of industries such as field service, courier, retail, warehousing and manufacturing and the list continues to grow. Its more than a data capture device. Its a cellphone and an intelligent workstation too, allowing your mobile workers to call customers, upload route maps, and send data back to office headquarters. Its All About Choice Choose WiFi, GPRS/EDGE or 3G HSDPA voice and data. Choose numeric or full alphanumeric keyboards. Choose your scanners, imagers and RFID options. Theres even a choice of Windows operating systems. Even once deployed, youve still got options, with a universe of hardware modules and software applications to choose from. The Mobile Worker Is Our Focus WORKABOUT PROs Natural Task Support means mobile workers get the job done faster and more comfortably, even over the longest shifts. It starts with a full VGA display for finer details in maps and schematics, and easier readability even in low light and direct sunlight. The ergonomic keypad is designed for one-hand operation with clear, unambiguous feedback. But it also comes down to intangible things like the feel in your hand, the balance and the way your fingers seem to fall in just the right way. Rugged Beyond The Ratings The WORKABOUT PRO is tested to withstand drops from six feet to concrete and easily handles the kind of shock and vibration you get from mounting it on a truck or a forklift. It has an IP65 rating, protecting it against dust and water sprayed from all directions.
