SPT1550 Enterprise Class Mobile Computer from Symbol


Get enterprise class information in a palm-sized device

The Symbol SPT1550 enterprise class mobile computer provides basic scanning and data entry functionality for your employees who are on the move. With standard Palm productivity applications and the ability to scan bar codes, the SPT1550 is an easy-to-use tool for speeding your response to customer needs, improving process efficiencies and increasing the range and accuracy of enterprise information. The simple, intuitive interface reduces your training costs, and the one-touch data synchronization reduces data input errors, increasing the strategic value of collected data. The SPT1550 gives you greater insights into your operations at a cost and management savings over other devices.

Business challenge Solution
To make your data timely and accurate, the synchronization of captured data with your business applications should occur with minimal user effort. With the push of a single button, your employees automatically synchronize the data from their SPT1550 device to your host system according to data management rules you establish, reducing data entry errors and giving employees more time for other productive tasks.
Your sales managers do not work in scan-intensive environments, yet they occasionally need to accurately gather data from bar codes to confirm prices or track inventory. A small scan engine on the SPT1550 with left- and right-hand triggers offers you the option of using the device as a scanner in applications where speed and accuracy of data capture are required.
It’s costly and expensive to develop applications for your mobile devices. The Palm operating system is a simple development platform. Its broad industry support and wide availability of tools helps reduce your costs and shorten the development cycle.
Your employees need a device they will easily carry and use. The light, pocket-sized design of the SPT1550 makes it fit comfortably in the hand and is easily carried in a briefcase or bag for quick access whenever it’s needed.

SPT1550 Pocketable Computers

Pocketable Productivity for People on the Move

Symbol Technologies has maximized efficiency, functionality and productivity in a new pocket-sized Palm Powered™ device—the SPT1550. Equipped with the latest processing technology and features, the SPT1550 is a powerful productivity tool, enabling users to capture and manage data faster and easier than ever.

Superior Features for Maximum Performance

The SPT1550 is 100% compatible with Palm OS® hardware and software and offers mobile professionals significant advantages with benefits in data capture, information access and computing power. The SPT1550 features an integrated scan engine and conveniently placed scan triggers, enabling fast, efficient, and accurate data capture. This is the smallest, lightest, and brightest engine available today, enabling the SPT1550 to deliver premium performance bar code scanning.

The SPT1550 comes with a generous 8 MB of RAM and 4 MB of ROM, for application or data storage needs, and its 33MHz processor allows applications to run at peak speeds, keeping pace with business demands. With its touch-based graphical interface, push-button controls, and backlit 160 x 160-pixel display, the SPT1550 is easy to use, even outdoors or in dimly lit spaces. Two AAA batteries deliver hours of power, or an optional rechargeable NiMH battery kit is available. The SPT1550 supports both single and multi-slot cradles for flexible host communications in most network and user environments.

The Point of Activity Advantage

The SPT1550 is designed for convenient operation in the office or on the road. Its ease-of-use and functionality lend themselves to applications in a host of industries.

Salespeople can enter customer information, scan items from a bar-coded catalog and check downloaded price lists, enabling more time to sell and less time doing paperwork. With its laser scanning capability, the SPT1550 can also help increase efficiency in the office, streamlining processes such as office supply ordering. Medical professionals can take advantage of the SPT1550's mobility, using the device for patient verification, bedside drug administration and a host of applications used hospital-wide.

Teachers and education professionals can use the device to access and update student records, including daily attendance and grading. With its easy to use interface, consumers can also enjoy the benefits of scanning with the SPT1550. Instead of written shopping lists, consumers can scan items as they are depleted, creating an electronic shopping list. This electronic list can be used on the next shopping trip or uploaded over phone lines to the local store or e-commerce websites.

Tailor Applications for Your Business

Any business can tailor the adaptable SPT1550 to boost the productivity of its mobile professionals. Because the device is based on the Palm platform, programmers can build solutions using familiar Palm OS® development tools.

The Palm OS Software Development Kit (SDK) includes the Symbol Application Programming Interfaces (API) for controlling the scanner and manipulating data input, and trial versions of several of the most popular Palm development environments. A growing roster of software companies support the SPT product family with tools for network and database connectivity.
