The New Compact and Ultra-Rugged MX4 is Designed for Maximum Durability And
Ruggedness, Both in the Warehouse and in the Field
ATLANTA, Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- LXE Inc., a leading manufacturer of
rugged wireless products and solutions that improve the performance of supply-
chain execution applications, today announced the introduction of the ultra-
rugged MX4 wireless handheld computer. The MX4 may have some of the features
of a PDA, but it is much more than a PDA. The MX4 is a true industrial mobile
computer that is designed for harsh environments -- including water submersion
of up to one meter.
The unit's 22-key keypad is watertight (IP67) and has large, high-
visibility backlit keys that allow for gloved-hand operation in low-light
situations. In addition, the MX4 can be ordered with an integrated heater for
use in cold environments; a pistol grip handle for greater long-range scanning
accuracy; and an additional battery integrated into the handle that doubles
the unit's battery life. The MX4 also supports integrated long and short-
range scanners, making it not just the most rugged, but also the most
accommodating handheld computer in its class.
"We developed the MX4, because we saw that many companies were trying
consumer PDA products, but were dissatisfied with their high rate of repairs
and replacements and the resulting poor return on investment," explains Dick
Sorenson, LXE's Director of Product Management. "We know when workers are
moving fast, in demanding environments, it's hard to avoid the drops and wear
that would destroy most handhelds. We designed the MX4 to be the most rugged
product on the market so it would provide years of reliable service. We are
extremely happy with how the MX4 performs," adds Sorenson.
The unit's powerful Intel(TM) SA-1110 processor and industry-standard
Windows(TM) CE 3.0 operating system ensure a mobile logistics computing
solution designed to meet the demands of today's and tomorrow's mobile
enterprise. The MX4 supports numerous radios and terminal emulation
standards, so it easily integrates with most warehouse management system
applications. And, it is JAVA Powered(TM), supporting the latest and most
sophisticated Java applications.
As always, the MX4 is supported by LXE's award-winning Customer Support
team, winners of the Mobile Star Award(TM) for best customer satisfaction in
mobile hardware.
