Rugged Mobility, Efficient Data Management and the Power of
Palm™
The SPT 1846 Series of pen-notepad computers offers the most
advanced Palm Powered™ solution for your work force.
This family of rugged mobile computers combines integrated
scanning, sophisticated wireless connectivity and powerful
processing capability with the Palm OS® platform. With
1-D bar code data capture and wireless local area network (WLAN) or
wireless wide area network (WWAN) communications, the SPT 1846
Series is a powerful productivity-enhancing tool, serving the
multiple needs of today's growing mobile workforce.
Tackle Tough Environments
Tough enough for use in manufacturing and industrial
environments, the SPT 1846 Series enables the Palm OS to perform
practically anywhere. The rugged SPT 18XX housing is sealed to IP54
standards for protection against rain and dust, and withstands 4
ft./1.2 m drops to concrete. Symbol's state-of-the-art scan engine
with bright, easy to see scan line, delivers premium scanning
performance under virtually any lighting condition–even sunlight or
bright artificial light. A high-contrast, anti-reflective liquid
crystal display makes data easy to read in low lighting or outdoor
conditions. Integrated WLAN or WWAN communication extends the reach
of IT resources, enabling real-time information flow between the
point of activity and your remote host system, making your business
truly mobile.
Empower Your Work Force
The combination of rugged durability, integrated bar code
scanning and wireless communication enables users in a host of
industries to capture, compute and communicate data anytime,
anywhere. As shipments are unloaded, warehouse management can
easily record new inventory levels to networked host systems.
Service professionals in hospitality can offer curbside check-in at
hotels, and hospital physicians and caregivers can have the latest
patient data at hand.
Law enforcement officers can scan vehicle registration or
drivers' licenses to gather information immediately, and wireless
WAN communication enables them to send and receive information from
the point of activity. In retail, when coupled with a magnetic
stripe reader and portable printer, the SPT 1846 becomes a portable
point-of-sale device, and, for scan-intensive tasks, an attachable
handle converts the SPT 1846 into an ergonomic pistol grip
design.
Mobile Solutions
The SPT 1846 supports Symbol's AirBEAM software suite. This
comprehensive set of mobility management tools maximizes the
availability, security and effectiveness of your wireless network
investment. This mobile client management solution delivers
