About this deal
Some PDA scanners used out in the field also look and work like phones and are called an Enterprise smart phone pda scanner. See the image above and link to RS31. Very popular form factor – RS31 Link
Improved data speeds up to 2 Mbps increases application flexibility and performance for Bluetooth peripherals, such as printers and headsets, while Bluetooth Low Energy reduces power requirements to extend battery cycle times.Multiple-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) technology allows access points to communicate with multiple devices simultaneously via pinpoint beamforming, boosting WiFi network capacity, speed and range. And processing is shifted from the mobile device to the access point, extending battery cycle time.
We are also seeing more companies utilise PDAs that have 3G/4G capabilities. Buying a Sim card and inserting it into PDA scanner to send data as well as using as a mobile phone. Primarily 3G/4G connectivity is used out in the field but we are also seeing this used within the four walls if there is no existing wireless network. Do you have to develop software for the application? This is always a very important consideration when looking at providing a data collection solution and choosing which type of hardware is best for your application. Generally speaking, PDA barcode scanners are classified into industrial grade and consumer grade. Industrial-grade PDAs are better than consumer-grade ones in terms of performance, stability, and battery durability. Scanning Engines – which option to choose on? Within PDA scanners you will have an integrated scanning engine. There are several types of scanning engines available. There is linear imager, laser, 2D imager, medium and long range 2D imagers.
Rugged Smartphones
Mobile Device Management (MDM) – If you are looking at acquiring 10-15+ x PDAs, then you might want to consider looking at a MDM to manage them all. This will save you a lot of time and money. Drive workforce productivity, efficiency and device value to a new level with powerful new Mobility DNA apps Enterprise rugged mobile devices should have some minimum performance specifications when choosing a device.
