WORKABOUT PRO

The Flexible, Expandable Workhorse

Something’s very wrong if you have to throw out your fleet of handheld computers just because your needs change.

At Psion Teklogix, we take a different approach. The WORKABOUT PRO has hardware expansion slots that make adding new modules fast and easy -- there’s a whole range of add-ons already available -- everything from fingerprint scanners to the largest selection of RFID readers on any handheld device. Period.

It just might be the most flexible, intelligent, rugged handheld computer ever made...

The flexible, expandable workhorse

Let’s face it: you have no idea what tomorrow will bring. The rugged handheld computer you choose today may not be right when your needs change.

Unless you choose the legendary WORKABOUT PRO. It’s built on the Modulus™ platform, so it’s easily extended using a wide range of hardware modules -- anything from passport readers and fingerprint scanners to WAN radios, laser scanners, imagers and Bluetooth® printers. Plus a growing range of connectivity peripherals (RS232, USB...) that mean you’ll never regret your decision.

Our many partners are always developing new modules. Choose one to meet your unique needs, change one when your needs evolve or use the Hardware Development Kit to make your own.

The mobile workhorse

The WORKABOUT PRO is relied on every day in mobile-intensive applications such as asset tracking, meter reading, and mobile ticketing across a variety of industries such as field service, courier, retail, warehousing and manufacturing -- and the list continues to grow.

It’s more than a data capture device, it’s a cellphone and an intelligent workstation too, allowing your mobile workers to call customers, upload route maps, and send data back to office headquarters.

It’s all about choice

Choose WiFi, GSM/GPRS/EDGE or UMTS/HSDPA voice and data. Choose numeric or full alphanumeric keyboards. Choose your scanners, imagers and RFID options. There’s even a choice of Windows® flavors.

Even once deployed, you’ve still got options, with a universe of hardware modules and software applications to choose from. The WORKABOUT PRO adapts to your changing needs.

The mobile worker is our focus

WORKABOUT PRO’s Natural Task Support™ means mobile workers get the job done faster and more comfortably, even over the longest shifts.

It starts with a full VGA display for finer details in maps and schematics, and easier readability even in low light and direct sunlight. The ergonomic keypad is designed for one-hand operation with clear, unambiguous feedback. But it also comes down to intangible things like the feel in your hand, the balance and the way your fingers seem to fall in just the right way.

Rugged beyond the ratings

The WORKABOUT PRO is tested to withstand drops from six feet to concrete and easily handles the kind of shock and vibration you get from mounting it on a truck or a forklift.

It has an IP65 rating, protecting it against dust and water sprayed from all directions. We know because we test our designs in our state of the art testing facility as well with third-party testing houses. And we never cut corners. WORKABOUT PRO is built like a brick.
