- Powerful 486 Class Processor
- DOS 6.22 Operating System
- 8MB of RAM Standard
- Internal Antenna and Built-in, Front-Shooting Laser
- Environmentally Sealed to an IP54 Rating
- One internal PC Card Slot

Fast, accurate, customizable real-time automatic data collection
is needed by today´s businesses striving for greater efficiency,
productivity and cost effectiveness.
The Falcon 335 by PSC is the answer. Open standards, powerful
applications and ease of use allow these portable data collection
terminals to integrate seamlessly into the supply chain systems of
all companies involved in retail, warehousing, distribution,
logistics, and manufacturing.
The Falcon 335 has a sleek, IP54 rated, environmentally sealed
case and built-in, front-shooting laser. Its powerful 486
processor, running at 33 MHz, operates under DOS 6.22. The Falcon
335 comes with 8 MB of RAM standard, 2 MB of Flash ROM, an internal
PC Card Slot, a 16-line screen. There are two keyboard options: the
standard 38 key alphanumeric keypad and the 25-key large numeric
keypad. Open architecture ensures easy application development. And
the Falcon 335 wireless terminal is available with PowerNet Twin
Client™ to support VT100, VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250
terminal emulations with screen formatter, allowing swift and
simple integration into your existing legacy system.
While the Falcon 335 provides ideal batch data collection
solutions, the Falcon 335 , a wireless data collection terminal,
excels in data collection throughut the supply chain where
real-time access to dat is required. Its internal antenna is
protected and its 2.4Ghz spread spectrum radio options include
Cisco Aironet, Lucent (Agere) Orinoco, Proxim and Symbol radio
support for maximum flexibility. The Falcon 335 has raised the bar
in RF, real-time data collection technology.
With international quality standards set by ISO 9000, Computer
Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), Just In Time (JIT), and Total
Quality Control (TQC), companies are required to have documented
procedures and effective automated data capture applications, such
as inventory control, work in progress, labor tracking,
receiving-putaway and pick/ship systems. The aptly named Falcon
soars in this tough environment.
