Sandpiper’s Push to Talk Solution Boosts Mobile Workers Productivity & Efficiency

Push To Talk is a faster, easier and more cost effective way to keep in touch.

PTT allows instantaneous voice transmissions using a mobile computer, emulating walkie-talkie communications. It allows you to talk to a single person or an entire group with the push of a button.

Enterprise users tend to invest in durable rugged mobile computers to mobilise their business applications. PTT can be easily installed onto these portable platforms thus saving further investment cost, management and asset management headaches in issuing mobile phones, walkie-talkies and mobile computers.

The software used in the solution has been designed to enhance and leverage both the initial investment in enterprise mobile technology and the ongoing investment in a data network either WLAN or WWAN.

It is easy to use and once loaded, within minutes, onto your wireless network, everyone will have the ability to communicate with one another.

It also works in the background while you are using other applications such as a terminal emulation, inventory management or mobile field service.

The software is able and capable of spanning across any device and any network on any segment, thus giving the end user a choice of carrier, device and topology.

This technology permits the mobile enterprise to reduce operational and support costs, improve workflow efficiency and workforce communication, hence improving its bottom line.

Product Update

LXE Introduces the MX7CS Cold Storage Handheld Computer

Cold storage is a significant and growing part of the supply chain market. More than 60 percent of foodstuffs require temperature controlled conditions, according to the European Cold Storage and Logistics Association. Freezer space accounts for 76 percent of the useable temperature controlled space.

As the need for enhanced cold storage solutions increases, LXE introduced the MX7CS to its line of mobile computers for cold storage logistics supporting real time data communications, bar code scanning, and voice/speech recognition.

It addresses the problems that make it impossible to use standard handheld computers in cold storage environments. Built in heaters eliminate both fogging and frosting, a specialised battery promotes free flowing power, and a highly effective conformal coating technique protects the unit against the effects of condensation whilst moving from cold storage facilities to warmer areas.

Features:

* Rated to -30°C.

* No fog, no frost, no condensation.

* The smallest, lightest handheld made specifically for cold storage.

* Specialised low temp batteries provide long life in cold environments.

* Heaters automatically shut off when unit is not inside a freezer to conserve battery life.

* Bluetooth 2.0+EDR radio.

* Voice enabled with ToughTalk technology.
