Intermec Rugged PC Ships with Qualcomm Technology

Intermec CN50 Awarded Frost & Sullivan North American Product Innovation Award
EVERETT, Wash.--(Business Wire)--
Intermec (NYSE:IN) today announced that the CN50 rugged mobile computer,
equipped with Qualcomm technology, is now shipping to customers worldwide.
Intermec collaborated with Qualcomm to develop the 3G wireless WAN Flexible
Network radio. The combination of the computer`s quad band radio and
multi-processor architecture provides superior computing performance,
communication speeds and low battery consumption.

Intermec`s Flexible Network Radio is highly optimized for mobile workers and
allows the CN50 to support both voice and data exchange with high quality cell
phone and network connections.

The cornerstone of the Flexible Network Radio is Qualcomm`s dual-core, dual-mode
chipset, the Mobile Station Modem (MSM) MSM7600 solution. This chipset contains
a 526MHz applications processor running Windows Mobile 6.1 and also features an
ARM9 communications processor, which supports 3G voice and data in
GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS and CDMA2000 technologies. The MSM7600 chipset enables the
CN50 to operate on frequencies supported by almost every major world network
carrier.

Responding to the industry`s new ruggedized CN50 by Intermec, Mark Jerger, Vice
President of Business Development for Qualcomm`s Corporate Engineering Services,
said: "Using a single hardware configuration, Qualcomm`s low power MSM7600
chipset is flexible in that it supports both UMTS and CDMA2000 technologies.
Having technology versatility and network operator choice is especially
important in enterprise and vertical markets where ruggedized computers such as
the CN50 are sold."

Intermec also announced that Frost & Sullivan has awarded the CN50 with the
North American Product Innovation Award in the North American Mobile Resource
Management (MRM) Market.

"With the introduction of the CN50, Intermec takes another step toward blurring
the line between commercial smartphones and ruggedized computing devices. This
device promises increased functionality and even more powerful mobile
applications to a wider range of mobile workers over the coming months and
years," said Jeanine Sterling, Senior Industry Analyst for Frost & Sullivan.

The Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Innovation is presented each year to the
company that demonstrates excellence in new products and technologies within its
industry.

"Qualcomm is a proven technology innovator and a great partner, and we are
extremely pleased with their MSM7600 solution. When two industry leaders
collaborate the outcome can be significant. Intermec has delivered an
award-winning rugged mobile computer that is unique among other solutions on the
market today," said Earl Thompson, Sr. Vice President of the Intermec Mobile
Solutions Business Unit.
