The powerful CN2 family, combines the convenience of shirt pocket size for the ultimate in mobility, with all the ruggedness and reliability you've come to expect from Intermec, the number one supplier of rugged pocket PCs for the enterprise.
While the CN2A, with either batch or local area radio connectivity, is ideally suited for Store Operations/ Management applications within the Retail industry, the CN2B offers the addition of Microsoft Windows Mobile and Bluetooth support, a good fit for Field Service, Direct Store Delivery, or In-Transit Visibility applications that can run in near-real-time by connecting to a mobile phone when integrated WWAN capabilities are not required.
While the CN2 family shares the compact form factor of a commercial PDA, including single-handed operation, the similarities stop there. The thoughtfully designed feature set is packaged to survive heat, humidity and multiple drops to concrete or steel, allowing you to minimize your total cost of ownership. Research has proven that investments in rugged mobile computing devices versus commercial grade pay off in a lower total cost of ownership as early as two years into the life of the device.
The CN2A has integrated Intermec's SmartSystems, a centralized one-to-one device management solution for remote support capability. The CN2 family also features Wavelink Avalanche for remote maintenance of entire populations of devices. Both solutions allow the user to configure, update or maintain the CN2 mobile computers in real time or batch saving time and money.
This mobile computer family relies on the proven, powerful combination of the Intel XScale processor with either the Microsoft Windows CE or Windows Mobile operating system to deliver a perfect balance of real-time data collection performance with fullshift power management functionality required by the application demands of retail store management and field sales and service. In addition, the CN2 family relies on Intermec's WiFi certified 802.11 b/g radio, which ensures consistent performance by providing the best available wireless network throughput and reliability.
The CN2A leverages the Intermec EV10 linear scan engine with 3.3V low power operation to preserve battery life for mobile computing applications. With no moving parts and no laser diode, the EV10 has a longer life than any laser scanner (MTBF above 250Kh). The CN2A received Cisco Certified Extension (CCX) ensuring compatibility with a Cisco infrastructure.
The user accessible secure digital card slot provides more than sufficient data storage and back up capabilities for today's demanding applications.
