CN50

Intermec CN50 Mobile Computer

The Intermec CN50 is the only 3.75G wireless mobile computer that   combines a small and light-weight form factor with a rugged design to deliver the most advanced, high performance voice and data communication solution specifically designed for the highly mobile field worker. With the class leading capabilities of the CN50 in their mobile   workers’ hands, enterprises can improve their business processes,   expand their service offerings and reduce the cost and complexity of field mobility solution. As the first device in the industry to offera 3.75G wireless WAN Flexible Network™ Radio, the CN50 allows enterprises to  finally standardize on a single hardware platform that can be configured  for either CDMA or UMTS wireless networks. This gives enterprises the  flexibility to choose the network that provides the best geographic  coverage and the lowest cost.

With a single hardware solution to deploy, enterprises can simplify application development, lessen verification complexities, reduce deployment costs, and dramatically lower overall cost of-ownership. As your business needs change or coverage options evolve, the Flexible Network Radio can be reprovisioned to a different carrier network. The CN50 has the latest 3.75G wireless WAN radio to deliver the fastest data and voice communications available on both CDMA and UMTS wireless networks. With high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA) technology, the CN50 provides fast and reliable data connectivity for uploading large documents, real-time images or synchronization with your enterprise data base. Compared with previous 2.5G radio technology, the CN50 provides improved productivity today, and allows enterprises to realize future benefits as the network capabilities continue to improve.

The CN50 features an optional imaging application called Intermec Enhanced Mobile Document Imaging (eMDI) which gives mobile workers a fast and reliable light-weight CN50 bridges the gap between a mobile computer and a traditional cell phone to provide high-quality voice communications without the expense of deploying and maintaining a separate device. The no compromise design includes both a high performance 3 MP color camera with auto-focus and flash, and a dedicated 1 MP area imager for responsive 1D and 2D barcode reading,and full-page document imaging. The industry standard platform in the CN50 includes Microsoft® Windows Mobile 6.1 which enables the device to integrate quickly and easily with existing systems and provides familiar operation for end users. Windows Mobile 6.1 provides integrated support for Systems Center Mobile Device Manager (SCMDM), allowing enterprise IT Managers to securely provision, configure, and deploy application software, device settings, and policies for populations of CN50 devices from the convenience of their management consoles. Developers can access a comprehensive software toolkit through the Intermec Developer Library to simplify application development and shorten time to deployment. Intermec SmartSystems™ software simplifies remote device management, by automatic staging, applying periodic system and software updates, as well as configuration changes, to keep on-going system maintenance costs low, and your CN50s performing in top condition. The Intermec CN50 mobile computer is designed specifically for on-the-go field mobility customer service operations that need to be completed faster using only a single device that combines robust application processing, automated barcode data and document capture, digital camera functionality, and 3G wireless WAN voice and data communication in a rugged compact package necessary to achieve better customer service and bottom line results, now and in the future.

Designed specifically for the “hold and carry” activities of the postal, field service, transportation, and commercial delivery worker tasked with delivering high levels of customer service all day long, the lightweight, multi-function CN50 eliminates the need to carry and manage different devices such as cell phones, digital cameras and document scanners reducing operational costs, and improving service quality, accuracy and responsiveness. Also creates a way to convert paper documents into electronic files. EMDI, and helps streamline back office operations and improves cash flow by reducing time-to-payment for services rendered because delivery confirmations can be imaged in the field and sent wirelessly to the home office. Customer service and other staff gain real-time access to document images, via the enterprise systems, which can be used to answer customer queries,issue invoices, and update records. The CN50 is built on a unique multiprocessor architecture with dedicated ARM and DSP processors to deliver robust application processing with nearly instantaneous response, all at the lowest levels of power consumption. The standard battery is suitable for uninterrupted full shift use in most applications.

For extreme-duty applications, the extended-life battery provides ample power to drive consistent, full-featured functionality without compromise to the compact and lightweight design. The integrated digital compass provides a real-time indication of directional heading to enhance the functionality of the GPS radio. By improving the accuracy of the turn-by-turn directions, mobile workers are able to deliver better customer service and improve on-time delivery. A built-in accelerometer allows the CN50 to rotate the display based on the orientation of the device, improving worker efficiency and the user experience during signature capture or similar operations. A bright 3.5” VGA display provides exceptional viewing in full sunlight. The CN50 features a Bluetooth® v2.1 EDR radio which provides secure wireless connectivity to headsets, Intermec mobile printers and other Bluetooth compatible devices for simple and convenient connectivity. The Wi-Fi certified 802.11 radio enables fast and secure voice communications or end-of-day synchronization with your enterprise network. The specifics of the CN50 can be found in a .pdf here.
