Solving Data Collection Needs The Falcon 345 are the most
feature-rich members of the growing family of Falcon industrial
handheld data collection terminals from PSC. They were designed for
easy integration in the supply chain of companies involved in
logistics, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, and
in-store retail.
A Favorite Among Users These sleek portable terminals
were ergonomically designed with the end-user in mind. They are the
lightest weight unit in their class, only 16.3 oz./465 g.
Engineered to reduce fatigue, this weight is ideally balanced over
the hand using a removeable form-fit rubber-grip handle. Combine
this with an integrated scan trigger, a large 16-line back-lit
display, three keypad options and the user enjoys hours of high
performance data collection.
No Lack of Performance Here At the heart of the Falcon
345 portable data terminals is a powerful 32 bit 486 class
processor, running at 33MHz, with 8MB of RAM and 2MB of Flash ROM.
This flexible architecture also supports an internal PCMCIA Type II
PC card for additional memory or wireless LAN connectivity. Because
the Falcon 345 use a standard operating system, DOS 6.22, you can
run applications previously developed for other Falcon® terminals
and other DOS terminals. Thin client systems can be instantly
integrated with terminal emulation and text browser support. You
can also use popular PC-based development tools like PSC's
Universal Program Generator (UPG) to create custom applications for
your data collection needs.
Batch and Wireless Models The Falcon 340 with the 486
processor and 8MB of RAM is one of the most powerful batch
terminals on the market today. Fast lookup and validation of your
data is critical to productivity.
The Falcon 345 sets the standard for flexibility when it comes
to wireless communications, providing connectivity for data
collection applications where real-time information is critical.
The Falcon 345 can be configured with any of the leading 2.4GHz
spread spectrum wireless LAN solutions including Cisco Aironet and
Symbol.
Additional flexibility comes when you can have a wireless
connection of the Falcon 345 terminals into your existing legacy
system. With our PowerNet Twin Clientâ„¢ product these Falcon
terminals can support VT100, VT220, HP700/92, IBM 3270 and IBM 5250
terminal emulation, with screen formatter capabilities.
