With data capture, voice telephony, smart battery, device level management, wireless and security options, on-the-go professionals are empowered to make rapid, informed decisions. This convenient mobile computer delivers enterprise-class functionality, including support for e-mail, phone, scheduling/calendar, signature capture, CRM, sales force automation and other enterprise applications. With the MC50 in hand, retail store managers, merchandisers and salespeople have the necessary tool to create and maintain a competitive advantage.

Deploy and Manage Mobility Systems More Effectively

The MC50 enables superior manageability and rapid integration into new or existing IT infrastructures. Its Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ software platform offers compatibility with Microsoft, Oracle®, Siebel®, SAP® and IBM® customer relationship management (CRM) software for easy, fast rollouts into any environment. Adding mobility management software allows you to quickly deploy and manage thousands of MC50 devices with instant visibility and control over all the mobile computers, wireless networks and applications from an intuitive, Web-based interface.

Enhanced Durability for Frequent, Extended Use

The MC50 is designed to be more durable than a consumer-grade PDA.
