Logistics and Field Service benefit from GPRS/EDGE, 2D Imager and GSM

Salo, Finland +++ Nordic ID, one of the leading European providers of mobile computers and handheld terminals presents a new version of its successful Nordic ID Morphic: as from now, the versatile mobile computer with its phone like intuitive user interface is also available with a GPRS data communication, GSM mobile phone functions and 2D imager.
 
Thanks to the GPRS/EDGE communication option, Nordic ID Morphic is able to exchange data with a host system in real time wherever a GSM network is available. This renders the usage of handheld devices flexible and very cost efficient. Nordic ID Morphic is particularly suitable for use in field service and in logistics.
 
In addition to wireless data transmission, this mobile computer can also be used for voice communication via GSM. Mobile phone functions will be available to users of Nordic ID Morphic via a new telephony application. As SMS service and voice messaging are possible, too, it will then no longer be necessary to carry an additional mobile phone.
 
As an alternative to the laser scanner, the new version of Nordic ID Morphic can also be equipped with a 2D imager capable to read two-dimensional barcodes. This allows for using the handheld device in bookstores, pharmacies and in the health care and automotive industry. Moreover, the new device offers a free MicroSDHC slot besides the SIM card slot, providing users an additional memory space to cope with additional large amounts of data or even multimedia requirements.
 
All Nordic ID Morphic versions feature Bluetooth, e.g. to allow a flexible connection of label printers. The mobile computers run the operating system Windows Embedded CE 6.0©,, they weigh less than 190 g and due to their ergonomic design they can be used with one hand while their mobile phone like user interface can be operated intuitively without any training or technical know-how. At the same time, the sturdy handhelds comply with all requirements of protection class IP54 and will survive a fall from a 1.5 m height onto a concrete floor. Future proof design and the easy integration of emerging technologies and software ensures that Nordic ID Morphic will also be in the future a trusted and recognized tool for the various industries.
