Intermec Introduces New CN3 Rugged Mobile Computer with Integrated GPS



CN3 packs high-performance communications technologies into compact, rugged package for true enterprise mobility

Intermec's new CN3 small, rugged mobile computer offers integrated GPS and powerful communications capabilities that make it possible for companies to ensure that the right resources are deployed to the right locations wherever business is taking place, cutting inventory costs and improving customer service. Used with mapping software, the CN3's GPS system provides turn-by-turn directions to direct package delivery as well as direct store delivery and field service personnel to their destinations. In addition, its WAN, WiFi and Bluetooth communications systems equip mobile workers with powerful voice and data services, whether they are in the field or on the premises, at a cost that makes business sense.

With the introduction of the CN3, mobile workers can set aside the multiple devices they typically must carry and maintain-cell phone, GPS unit, pager, laptop-for a single CN3. Because the CN3 is priced lower than typical rugged WAN mobile computers and combines a form factor and level of functionality previously met by multiple devices, the CN3 offers enterprises the opportunity to reevaluate existing technology deployments in favor of new ones that drive improved efficiency and customer responsiveness and provide a competitive edge.

A small and thin device (only 157 x 84 x 30mm, or 6.2 x 3.3 x 1.1 in, with standard battery pack), CN3 optionally includes a 1.3 megapixel color camera with flash that allows workers to document assets and damaged goods records at the point of transaction. Superior voice capabilities and hands-free options allow workers to increase productivity throughout their day's work.

The CN3 runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack, supporting direct push wireless e-mail, and comes with a choice of QWERTY of numeric keypad. It has 128MB RAM, a 2-D imager for scanning bar codes and a battery with enough power to last an entire shift, all housed in a case rugged enough to withstand tough work environments. The CN3's sharp color display is readable in any light, and the entire unit is rain- and dust-resistant for use inside and out.

The CN3's standards-based design makes it easy and cost effective to integrate into most enterprises. It supports Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) for seamless interoperability in Cisco infrastructures.

The CN3 is available now in North America, and in the rest of the world in the fourth quarter.

SmartSystems provides complete device management
The CN3 supports Intermec's SmartSystems, the ADC industry's most comprehensive system for complete device management. With SmartSystems, installation, routine maintenance or application software updates, security adjustments and device settings can be performed automatically and managed remotely, dramatically reducing field downtime and increasing efficiency.
