Symbol Launches Line of WinCE Mobile Computers

By Staff -- Logistics Management, 1/1/2000

Symbol Technologies has unveiled three new mobile computers that use the Microsoft Windows CE operating system. The three handheld computers--Models PPT 2700, PDT 7200, and PDT 7500--are designed for use in such fields as logistics, transportation, and retail.

Weighing less than 12 ounces, the PPT 2700 allows users to communicate in real time over Symbol's "Spectrum 24" wireless local-area network (LAN). In addition, the unit enables users to manage schedules, personal information, contacts, and e-mail.

Symbol's PDT 7200 offers voice-paging capabilities, touch-screen control, and one- and two-dimensional bar-code scanning. Using Symbol's Spectrum 24 wireless LAN infrastructure, the terminal allows users to receive pages.

Its third new unit--the PDT 7500--is a lightweight hand-held terminal with advanced bar-code scanning, data processing, and communication features. The device offers the latest mini-scan engine technology for reading linear and 2-D bar codes.
