Motorola MC5590 Mobile Computer

The MC5590 brings a new level of functionality and flexibility to pocket-sized mobile devices. The smallest and lightest Motorola rugged EDA, the MC5590 packs the power of a walkie-talkie, VoIP phone, mobile computer, bar code scanner and camera into a robust enterprise class device with true consumer styling and ergonomics — and is designed to meet mobile worker, business application and IT requirements. With the MC5590 in hand, task workers such as retail associates and managers, healthcare workers in a hospital, and servers in a restaurant enjoy the cost-effective yet sophisticated mobile voice and data services required to streamline tasks and improve productivity, customer response times and customer service levels. Enterprise class rugged construction, manageability, security and scalability allow the MC5590 to easily meet the most demanding IT policies and mandates. And a broad array of accessories enables easy customization of the MC5590 to meet the unique needs of your business.

Choose the data capture options you need

Automate, enrich and error proof data collection in various areas of your business with a full suite of advanced data capture options, with the flexibility to match the right options to the right workers. For applications with intense bar code scanning office requirements, choose a 1D laser scanner for ultimate performance, or a 2D imager to capture 1D and 2D bar codes. For workers who need to document images as well as read bar codes, a 2-megapixel auto-focus high resolution color camera can be added to either the 1D laser scanner or 2D imager, allowing the easy capture of a signature for mobile point of sale — or a photograph at the receiving dock to document a damaged incoming shipment.

Maximum voice quality…and functionality

Designed from the ground up to support voice as well as data, the MC5590 offers a superior voice user experience. Functionality includes push-to-talk (PTT) walkie-talkie style instant communications over the WLAN and support for IP telephony, using partner software to extend deskphone features to the MC5590. This flexibility allows workers to place a private call in sensitive environments, such as healthcare, while managers can easily reach all associates at the press of a button — without using the intrusive overhead paging system or affecting the customer experience. Additionally, handset and speakerphone modes provide workers with the convenience and flexibility to use the voice mode that meets the needs of the job…and the moment. And since voice and data services are delivered over the WLAN, in-building cellular coverage issues that can affect voice quality are eliminated.

Superior return on investment (ROI)

With a rapid ROI, the MC5590 is easy to cost-justify. This single device replaces as many as five business devices, substantially reducing capital and operational expenses — there are simply fewer devices to purchase and manage. Designed for a five to seven year lifecycle, the MC5590 offers a lifespan two to three times that of the average consumer-grade PDA, preserving your hardware as well as associated application investments. The ability to meet the needs of many different types of workers with a single device reduces the load on your IT staff — there are fewer devices and operating systems to understand, manage and support. Read more about the specifics of the MC75 in a .pdf here.
