PDA Glossary

The SPT 1700 family continues the revolution of pocket able computing, combining integrated scanning, sophisticated connectivity and ruggedness with the popular Palm® platform. The SPT 1700 offers ruggedized data communications capabilities with its built-in link to the open architecture of Spectrum24®. This wireless LAN from Symbol Technologies enables up-to-the-minute information flow between the point of activity and your remote host systems.

The newest addition to the Symbol SPT 1700 family, the SPT 1700-2D, offers flexible 1D and entry-level PDF417 bar code data capture. Available in both batch and wireless configurations, the SPT 1700-2D complements the SPT 1700 product family, further expanding the capabilities of a proven productivity tool.

Tough enough for use in manufacturing and industrial environments, the ruggedized housing withstands drops of up to 4 ft./ 1.2 m to concrete. Tested to IP54 standards for protection against rain and dust, these computers can be used outdoors on loading docks and yards and, because they use a 650 nm laser diode, you will still see the scan beam–even in bright sunlight!

A high-contrast, anti-reflective liquid crystal display makes data easy to read in low light or outdoors. A rechargeable lithium-ion battery and optional single- and multi-slot cradle configurations assure flexible convenience and strong performance no matter how intensive the task.
