Enabling wireless access can be challenging in very large outdoor spaces that are filled with materials wreaking havoc on wireless signals. Zebra Technologies has a solution with two new narrowband-enabled industrial mobile computers designed for inventory and asset management in large outdoor environments.
The Omnii XT15 handheld mobile computer and the VH10 vehicle-mount computer are now available with narrowband radios and offer backwards-compatibility with the former Psion’s existing narrowband wireless gateway and controller.
Narrowband is a secure, low-bandwidth, long-range wireless network specifically designed to deliver very affordable and dependable digital wireless connectivity for data applications in large outdoor areas. It uses licensed frequencies that customers own and doesn’t conflict with other 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless networks.
Only Zebra can offer a complete narrowband solution comprised of wireless infrastructure, software and mobile computers - providing stronger signal penetration and performance in non-line-of-sight applications such as transmitting data around piles of metal containers in a port or rail yard.
The narrowband-enabled XT15 and VH10 are ideal for inventory and asset management applications in harsh environments and large areas including seaports, airports, rail yards and manufacturing plants with large outdoor yards.
“Zebra understands the unique enterprise wireless communications needs of customers. The new narrowband-enabled XT15 handheld mobile computer and VH10 vehicle-mount computer address the specialized wireless requirements of ports, yards and transport facilities,” said Joe White, senior vice president of mobile computing, Zebra Technologies. “Together, these new offerings, combined with our digital narrowband infrastructure, allow customers to have better performing communications at a much lower operating cost.”
