Mobile Computers

Give your mobile workforce the tools they need to conduct business in real time all on a single rugged device.

This single mobile computer with converged voice and data capabilities provides everything your field workforce needs to conduct business in real time — and everything you need to drive productivity and profitability into your company. The superior rugged construction is designed to withstand rigorous use in extreme environments and a wide variety of working conditions. True anywhere anytime voice and data connectivity keeps mobile workers in touch with co-workers, clients, and critical business applications and systems throughout the entire business day via integrated multi-mode wireless WAN/LAN/PAN. The Sprint all-digital wireless network, including Nextel Nationwide Walkie-Talkie, provides reliable cost-effective ‘right-now’ voice communications. And high performance processing power provides support for simple to complex multi-media applications that maximize mobile worker productivity — and deliver a high return on investment.

Business challenge Solution
The mobile phones and mobile computers in use today in the field are not built to withstand day-in day-out rigorous use, resulting in the high cost of frequent repairs, replacement devices and employee downtime. The MC9097 offers superior rugged design, able to withstand many drops throughout the working day as well as exposure to heat, cold, rain and more, and still perform reliably — delivering an outstanding return on investment.
All day long, your mobile workers count on voice connectivity to dispatch, customers and more. You need cost-efficient cellular service and robust network coverage. Nextel Nationwide Walkie-Talkie provides your mobile workers with cost-effective instant voice communications. The Sprint all-digital wireless network provides broad geographic coverage to maximize service availability, complete with guaranteed message delivery to ensure your mobile workers never miss a business critical message.
Your mobile employees use a cell phone for voice communications and a mobile computer for data communications, adding cost and complexity – two monthly service fees, operating systems and types of devices to support. The converged voice and data capabilities eliminates the need for separate voice and data devices, effectively reducing capital expenditures for devices and applications as well as support costs.
You need a device that can support your business applications today, as well as the more demanding applications you are likely to implement in the future. The next-generation technology platform is capable of supporting the most demanding of applications, offering the latest Intel processor and Microsoft mobile operating system (both designed to meet the unique needs of mobility), multiple advanced data capture options, multiple data input options and more.

Maximize mobile workforce efficiency with integrated wireless WAN/LAN/PAN and Nextel Nationwide Walkie-Talkie

The MC9097 rugged mobile computer from Motorola provides your mobile workers with a flexible always-on voice and data connection to co-workers, clients, and associates, as well as critical business applications and systems — all on a single device. High performance processing combines with advanced mobility features and functionality to support the richest applications. Superior sound quality and the onboard iDEN radio deliver robust voice communications, complete with Nextel’s Nationwide Walkie-Talkie functionality for instant, cost-effective voice connectivity. Assisted GPS supports location tracking applications, enabling more efficient routing as well as dynamic route changes. Seamless WLAN connectivity provides cost effective voice and data communications in the office, hot spots and more. The ability to use this single device for all voice and data communications inside and outside your four walls dramatically reduces costs, since the need to purchase and manage additional devices is eliminated. Combined with proven ruggedness in nearly any environment, the MC9097 offers everything you need to maximize the productivity of your field sales, service and delivery personnel — a true competitive advantage.

Next-generation enterprise application support

The MC9097 offers the robust functionality and flexibility you need to support innovative applications that maximize mobile worker productivity and deliver a high return on investment — from next-generation processing power to robust, persistent data storage. Multiple advanced data capture options enable the design of enterprise applications that collect and provide access to real-time information. Superior power management delivers longer battery life. Modular field-replaceable keypad options, touch/stylus input, and easy viewing in any lighting, indoors or outdoors, increase application design flexibility — and simplicity of operation for users.

Rugged construction and maximum manageability deliver a low TCO

By combining rugged design, manageability and the comprehensive functionality to support the applications of today and tomorrow, the MC9097 delivers outstanding investment protection and a low total cost of ownership (TCO). The superior rugged construction is designed to withstand rigorous use in extreme environments and a wide variety of working conditions. Adding Motorola’s Mobility Services Platform (MSP) enables you to quickly and easily provision, track and support all your MC9097 devices, anywhere in the world, from a central location — delivering an unprecedented level of simplicity and low cost to management of mobile devices. And comprehensive maintenance and support services ensure maximum uptime and value for your investment.
