Motorola Launches Handset with Quick Wi-fi Connectivity
Motorola has recently revealed the latest rugged handheld in its EDA (Enterprise Digital Assistant) line, the MC75, to provide assistance to enterprise field workers in the areas of delivery, sales and service.
The device, supporting 3G networks like HSDPA (with AT&T) or EVDO Rev A (with Sprint or Verizon), is an updated version of its previous handset, MC70 that only supports 2.5G wireless networks. This new device running on Windows Mobile 6.0 operating system connects to the Internet using quick Wi-Fi Connectivity and work with ease on the phone’s Intel XScale 624MHz processor.
The MC75 clicks using a 2MP camera with autofocus that also comes handy for scanning bar codes and other official purposes. The device also has 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi, SirfStar 3 GPS, and 256 MB of memory. It's packed because EDA devices typically have a very long life cycle of up to five years.
The device measuring 7.05 x 3.3 x 1.7 inches and weighing 14.9 ounces can also be used in a Wi-Fi network alone or between wireless LAN’s and cellular networks, claims the company.
"Customers have tried the shiny consumer devices, and the total cost of ownership doesn't add up. There are other rugged devices from companies like Intermec and Psion, but there isn't a player with all these features in one device," said Andy McBain, U.K. product manager for Motorola's enterprise mobility business. He further added saying that the device is in beta with five customers in Europe, and they already have demand for the final product.
The MC75 is scheduled to ship in July with a price range between USD 2,635 and USD 3,035.
