WOODBURY, N.Y., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Janam Technologies LLC today announced
its XG100 Series, a rugged gun-shaped mobile computer that scans barcodes and
communicates wirelessly. This new product family augments the company's line
of rugged, PDA-style mobile computers. Janam now offers a full line of rugged
mobile computers that covers almost any barcode-based user application within
the four walls of the enterprise.

The Microsoft Windows-based XG100 Series has been optimized for the unique
requirements of users in warehouses, distribution centers, loading docks and
other venues where gun-shaped mobile computers are deployed. One of the first
rugged mobile computers to be based on Marvell's PXA320 processor, the XG100
is the only new gun-shaped, rugged mobile computer with a removable battery
located inside the pistol grip. This design lowers the product's center of
gravity for easier handling and maneuverability. Placing the battery inside
the pistol grip also allows the upper portion of the XG100 to be as slim and
sleek as a rugged PDA, enabling a wider keypad area for larger keys without
adding unnecessary weight or bulk. The XG100 is also the first rugged mobile
computer with an Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tag integrated into the
body of the unit for enhanced asset protection.
Other features include:
-- Powerful Adaptus(R) imager that reads virtually all 1D and 2D barcodes
-- Rugged construction that withstands multiple 6' drops to concrete
on all sides across a full temperature range as well as 2,000 tumbles
in
a rotating test chamber
-- IP64 sealing rating
-- Extra-bright keypad backlight
-- Robust 802.11 b/g Summit WLAN radio with Cisco's CCX v4 support
-- Emulator keypads ensuring compatibility with existing installations
-- Vibrator alert for successful scan feedback
-- Bright LED tail lights for visual feedback during overhead scanning
-- Superior audio performance and VOIP-ready design
-- Full suite of single-slot and four-slot cradles designed for every
communication protocol
-- List price of $1,695
"Janam engineered the XG100 Series to maximize worker comfort and
productivity, perform flawlessly in scan-intensive environments, provide easy
migration and integration, and stand up to the toughest operating
environments," said Harry B. Lerner, CEO of Janam. "We're thrilled to offer
our customers and channel partners a rugged gun-shaped mobile computer that
delivers superior levels of performance and quality at a price point that
makes sense."
The XG100 Series, introduced this week at the National Retail Federation's
98th Annual Convention & EXPO in New York, is available for beta testing
immediately. It is scheduled for full commercial release in North America,
South America, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Australia and select Asian
countries at the end of Q1. Janam will accept pro-forma bookings starting
immediately.
