CipherLab has just launched its 9400 Series Industrial Mobile Computer, making it the second CipherLab product to support the Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system. It has been specially designed to provide “wireless anywhere” mobility via compliance with all popular wireless communications platforms – this means you will be able to hold “conversations” with other devices via Bluetooth, WiFi and Quad-band EDGE RF. In addition, the 9400 makes life a whole lot easier by simplifying the tasks of those working in the retail, logistics, warehouse, transportation and field sales/services industries.

A powerful yet user-friendly mobile computer, the 9400 delivers industry-leading features such as a built-in digital camera, multi-form data input (touch screen or keyboard), multi-scanning options and the ability to read and write RFID tags. It leads the industry with up to eight hours of battery life in WLAN mode and surpasses drop impact standards – important considerations for the more demanding conditions of the warehouse or field-use environments. And, because the 9400 incorporates familiar Windows graphics and gives users the option of creating custom applications or accessing current Web-based applications, it drastically reduces training time requirements.

According to Robert Hossary, vice president Americas for CipherLab, “No one understands the data capture needs of the retail, warehouse, and field sales/services industries better than CipherLab. The 9400 offers the features that matter most: multi-modal wireless for total mobility, rugged construction and a choice of a linear imager, 2D imager or laser scanner. With CipherLab’s high manufacturing standards, there’s simply not a better or more affordable Windows CE mobile industrial computer on the market today.”

Further product specifications include:

Ergonomic small form factor

VoIP compatibility

3.5” touch screen with high resolution VGA display

Digital camera with resolution up to 2M pixels

Two keypad options

Interested parties will be able to get hold of the 9400 sometime in Q1 2008, with production beginning at the end of 2007.
