Intermec's new CN3 small, rugged mobile computer offers integrated GPS and powerful communications capabilities that make it possible for companies to ensure that the right resources are deployed to the right locations wherever business is taking place, cutting inventory costs and improving customer service. Used with mapping software, the CN3's GPS system provides turn-by-turn directions to direct package delivery as well as direct store delivery and field service personnel to their destinations. In addition, its WAN, WiFi and Bluetooth communications systems equip mobile workers with voice and data services, whether they are in the field or on the premises.

With the introduction of the CN3, mobile workers can set aside the multiple devices they typically must carry and maintain-cell phone, GPS unit, pager, laptop-for a single CN3. A small and thin device (only 157 x 84 x 30mm, or 6.2 x 3.3 x 1.1 in, with standard battery pack), CN3 optionally includes a 1.3 megapixel color camera with flash that allows workers to document assets and damaged goods records at the point of transaction. Superior voice capabilities and hands-free options allow workers to increase productivity throughout their day's work.

The CN3 runs Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack, supporting direct push wireless e-mail, and comes with a choice of QWERTY of numeric keypad. It has 128MB RAM, a 2-D imager for scanning bar codes and a battery with enough power to last an entire shift, all housed in a case rugged enough to withstand tough work environments. The CN3's sharp color display is readable in any light, and the entire unit is rain- and dust-resistant for use inside and out.

The CN3's standards-based design makes it easy and cost effective to integrate into most enterprises. It supports Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) for seamless interoperability in Cisco infrastructures.
