Intermec, Inc. has introduced the CN51 mobile computer to offer the choice of Android or Windows operating systems on a single device. Designed for flexible application support, this next-generation mobile computing solution offers unparalleled versatility and is primed for use in direct store delivery, transportation and logistics and field service operations. Offering a superior user experience, the CN51's large, multi-touch, outdoor-readable screen provides ample room for application viewing with less scrolling for greater productivity, as well as more space for capturing signatures.

It's also equipped with smart battery technology, delivering battery life that lasts through a full 12-hour shift and beyond without interruption to replace or recharge. The CN51 is also the perfect migration option from the current CN50, offering improved processor and area imager performance, while still maintaining accessory compatibility with existing CN50 installations. For added flexibility, the CN51 is equipped with a voice-capable Flexible Network Radio, allowing the same device to operate on either a CDMA or UMTS wireless network in North America.

With the ability to switch networks on-the-fly, enterprises with large, geographically-dispersed workforces can rely on the CN51 to meet changing coverage needs and ensure anytime, anywhere access to business-critical information. The new CN51 is available with Intermec's EA30 or EA31 high performance imagers for optimal reading of 1D and 2D barcodes in various conditions, including low light scanning environments. With unmatched motion tolerance and snappy scanning, the CN51 also eliminates delays or user frustration during scan-intensive applications, ultimately improving worker productivity.

The 5- megapixel color camera combined with Intermec's cutting-edge image processing technologies also delivers advanced capabilities. Mobile Document Imaging (MDI) and Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) provide a fast and reliable way to convert full-size paper documents or check payments into electronic files while on the road, transmitting directly from the point of capture to the back-office workflow.
