"The Intermec CN3 delivers functionality and ease of operation in a rugged PDA form factor to our customers using the largest national high-speed wireless data network in the U.S.," said Laura Johnson, senior director, enterprise solutions, for AT&T's wireless unit. "The device is a strong choice for our customers in the transportation and logistics, field service and consumer packaged goods industries where a compact, rugged device is a must. Customers can leverage the built-in GPS capabilities of the CN3 with AT&T's TeleNav Navigator and Track applications to provide turn by turn directions and mobile resource management to track assets in the field."
"The addition of the Intermec/Cheetah bundle provides our transportation and logistics users with maximum supply chain visibility of freight and merchandise in-transit," said Cheetah vice president of sales and marketing, Stephan Karczag. "This real-time information allows companies to dynamically deploy the right assets to the right location, track shipments and consolidate personnel and manage resources to optimize operational efficiency."
"Having the ability to capture and communicate real-time information about drivers and assets is a top priority for transportation and logistics companies," said Adrian Gonzales, ARC advisory group director of the Logistics Executive Council. "This information allows them to manage their operations based on what's actually happening, as opposed to what was originally planned. It also allows them to extend business processes down to 'the last mile' of the fulfillment process by enabling drivers and field workers to initiate workflows and respond to exceptions in a timely manner. This bundled offering from Intermec, Cheetah Software, and AT&T provides fleet operators with a 'one stop shop' solution that promises to simplify and expedite the deployment process."
Intermec's rugged CN3 mobile computer includes an integrated GPS receiver, access to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and AT&T's EDGE wireless data network, the largest high-speed national wireless data network in the U.S. with availability in more than 13,000 cities and towns and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Built to withstand the rigors of the road, the ruggedized CN3 meets standards-based environmental specifications and is equipped with features for the mobile worker such as a 1.3 megapixel color camera to document proof-of-service, shipment condition or vehicle inspection.
The CN3 runs on the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system which supports direct push wireless email, security and real-time connectivity with corporate networks. For in-premise use, the CN3 supports Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) to ensure seamless interoperability on Cisco infrastructures. The computer is available with an ultraslim extended battery for streamlined, all-day power.
