Evolution of cellular networks The emergence of 3G networks, including 3.5 GSM HSDPA and 3G CDMA-EVDO Rev A, provides robust bandwidth, significantly improving upstream and downstream transfer speeds. Equipped with a 3G-compatible device, mobile workers are now able to upload rich multimedia and larger data files right from the customer or inspection site to the office without the frustration and productivity loss associated with a slower connection. Additionally, the 3.5 GSM HSDPA network enables simultaneous voice and data services in the field, boosting productivity by enabling workers to download customer data while maintaining a voice call, or to place a call while sending a photo. Improved displays Technology advancements are bringing a new generation of better and brighter displays to mobile devices. The higher resolution of full VGA displays provides a better viewing experience for maps, websites and multimedia. And these enhanced displays bring added value to image capture applications, as workers can preview digital photos on their mobile device to verify image quality and content on the spot. Embedded GPS technology Integrating GPS technology into a mobile computer enables a multitude of real-time location based applications, from turn-by-turn directions for drivers to real-time fleet location for dispatchers. And the addition of GPS enables a new application known as geostamping - the ability to record when (the time) and where (the physical location - latitude and longitude) a photograph is taken. Advancing technology is bringing more sensitive and lowpower GPS chipsets to mobile devices. Improved sensitivity and tracking capabilities ensure an expanded coverage for geostamping and other GPS applications, enabling the rapid and highly accurate capture of signals in some of the most challenging environments - including urban canyons and areas with dense foliage. Finally, enhanced power efficiency enables the use of GPS technology while helping to conserve battery power for a full shift. Enhanced user ergonomics Miniaturization of components, improved power management and advanced ergonomics are combining to power a new generation of devices that offer enterprise functionality and durability in a convenient, smaller form factor more typical of consumer-style devices. These sleeker devices replace the more traditional "brick style" business mobile computer, offering cutting-edge devices that are lightweight, compact, easy to carry, easy to hold and easy to use. And unlike consumer grade devices, these enterprise class devices are built to withstand the inevitable drops, spills and bumps, as well as all day use in the most demanding environmental conditions - extreme heat, cold, humidity, rain, snow and dust. Ample file storage Enterprise class mobile devices now come equipped with a user-accessible slot for an SD, miniSD, microSD or other external memory card. These memory cards expand storage capacity far beyond the limited onboard memory, allowing workers to easily store large images and files when they are out of WWAN/WLAN range, and also enabling the addition of new functionality for future business applications. Imagery applications in the enterprise High resolution image capture and geostamping open up a world of new possibilities where enterprises can improve productivity, accountability and the overall accuracy and quality of data capture for a wide range of workers in the field. Transportation Trucking A mobile device with an integrated high resolution autofocus camera allows truckers to replace paperbased processes with electronic documentation - less time is spent on administration, and more time is available to make more stops. For example, a bill of lading (BOL) can be captured at the press of a button, eliminating the dependence on paper - along with the delays and longer cycle times inherent in manual paper-based procedures. Two megapixel resolution and autofocus technology of today's newer cameras ensure complete legibility of all text, including the very small print. With digital photos of bills of lading, back-office employees can quickly retrieve any BOL image in a few keystrokes, streamlining recordkeeping, reducing response times to customer requests and reducing billing and the cash-to-cash cycle time.
