Intermec Improves 70 Series Ultra-Rugged Mobile Computer Series With Faster Processor and New 3G Radio

Intermec announced it will offer two new enhancements to the industry leading 70 Series mobile computer product family – a new 1 GHz Texas Instruments OMAP 3715 processor and a Wide Area Flexible Network radio based on Qualcomm Incorporated’s Gobi™ 3G connectivity technology.

The new 1 GHz industrial grade superscalar multi-engine processor provides customers running data-hungry applications with the fastest, most responsive platform available. Along with a quicker processor, the 70 Series also maintains its best-in-class power management and battery life performance to avoid unnecessary downtime.

In addition, the 70 Series now comes equipped with a Flexible Network™ radio that will provide on-the-fly, Wide Area Network selection capability. Based on Qualcomm’s Gobi 3000 embedded module, the Flexible Network radio enables fast data communications on both CDMA and UMTS wireless networks.

Available as an option for three of the four 70 Series models – the CN70, CN70e and CK70 – organizations with global deployments are now able to procure and support one wireless device that works on multiple networks while reducing their investments in device spare pools. Complemented with Intermec’s unique software technologies, the 70 Series will deliver automatic and seamless “in route” switching between carrier networks providing customers with the flexibility to choose the network with the best geographic coverage and lowest cost.
