Motorola Launches New 3G WAN Rugged Enterprise Digital Assistant
Motorola has announced the MC75, the latest addition to its portfolio of Enterprise Digital Assistants (EDA). The MC75 combines high-speed access to voice and data with support for 3G networks based on both HSDPA and CDMA-EVDO (Rev A) standards.
"Building off the success of the MC70 EDA, MotorolaÃ's best-selling rugged mobile computer for field mobility solutions, the new MC75 EDA is a testament to our continued ability to anticipate the ever-changing needs of todayÃ's fast-growing global mobile workforce with features like GPS and 3G operability," said Bob Chen, vice president and general manager of Mobile Computing, Motorola Enterprise Mobility business.
Motorola says that the MC75 will enable global organizations with mobile workforces to standardize operations on a single mobile device, which will reduce support requirements, cost and complexity associated with multiple devices on numerous networks.
"Now that the standardization and widespread availability of 3G are nearing completion, enabling mobile workers to access or transmit critical information from field environments faster than ever before, organizations are leveraging mobile and wireless solutions as a key strategic investment and source of competitive differentiation," said VDC analyst David Krebs. "Products like MotorolaÃ's MC75 with its embedded 3G technologies represent one of the critical solutions needed to deliver rich mobile enterprise applications and functionality to field employees in a rugged form factor."
The MC75 is based on IntelÃ's XScale PXA270 624 MHz processor and Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.0 operating system to provide increased interoperability with existing enterprise infrastructure, enhanced security features, a flexible development platform and improved mobile messaging.
The MC75 is expected to be available globally in the third quarter of 2008.
