LXE Introduces Two Rugged Windows® CE .NET Wireless Vehicle-Mount Computers
LXE Inc., the market-share leader for rugged vehicle-mounted computers used in supply chain execution applications, today announces the introduction of two new rugged vehicle-mounted computers. Both units, the half-screen VX6 and the full-screen VX7, are based on the Intel® XScaleTM processor and on the Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET operating system.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 26, 2004 -– LXE Inc., the market-share leader for
rugged vehicle-mounted computers used in supply chain execution applications,
today announces the introduction of two new rugged vehicle-mounted computers -
the half-screen VX6 & the full-screen VX7. Both units are based on the
Intel® XScale™ processor and on the Microsoft® Windows® CE .NET operating
system.
With the VX6 and VX7, customers can now easily run their CE .NET
applications on both their handheld and vehicle-mount computers, greatly
reducing user training and support costs. The CE .NET architecture also provides
a greater return on investment by enabling customers to easily adopt future
emerging technologies and applications.
The VX6 and VX7 also support
LXE’s RFTerm® multi-session terminal emulator, so customers can easily and
cost-effectively run legacy terminal emulation applications (ANSI VT220, TN3270
and TN5250). When the time is right to migrate your application to a Windows GUI
or browser-based design, there is no new hardware to
buy.
IT/IS managers will find the light, lower
profile, half-screen VX6, with its integrated keyboard, easier to mount onto
their fork trucks. Fork truck drivers will appreciate how simple the VX6 is to
use with the keyboard and screen being in such close proximity. The full-screen
VX7 is perfect for more robust CE .NET applications that require a full-screen.
Both units are fully heated, making them ideal for freezer/cold weather
applications. Both units also have high visibility and indoor/outdoor color
displays that are easy to read in any lighting condition.
“With the new
VX6 and VX7, and our existing MX5 vertical and MX3X horizontal handheld
computers, LXE now has the most complete range of CE-based rugged mobile
computers,” says Doug Brown, LXE senior product manager. “We also now have the
most complete line of rugged computers for freezer applications.”
The VX6
and VX7 are 802.11g-ready. When you are ready to upgrade to 802.11g, all you
will need to do is swap out the computer’s radio. As always, the VX6 and VX7 are
supported by LXE’s award-winning Customer Support team, winner of the Mobile
Star Award™ for best customer service in mobile hardware for the second
consecutive year.
