The MX5 can also be equipped with an internal, standard or long-range, 1D or 2D barcode scanner, or a high-resolution imager to facilitate data collection in a number of different scenarios.
The MX5 is ideal for traditional industrial and logistics applications as well as operation in ports where rain, salt, humidity, and fluctuating temperatures make for severe conditions.

The MX5, with its ultra-rugged light magnesium housing, is also designed to withstand multiple drops from over six feet and can operate in temperatures as low as -22° F (-30° C) with the optional internal heater.
