ET1 runs an enterprise-ready hardened version of the Android operating system and it uses Gorilla Glass 7-inch color display for video and image display.
ET1 is supported by Motorola’s portfolio of enterprise-grade software modules including RhoElements, a new HTML5 application enablement framework.
ET1 features a durable design to withstand accidental drops and bumps; optional integrated bar code scanner and magnetic stripe reader; and a hot-swappable rechargeable battery pack, with memory back-up battery to retain RAM data for up to 15 minutes.
In addition, ET1 also features a single- and multi-slot tablet and battery chargers; front- and rear-facing cameras; bluetooth-connected handheld bar-code scanners, mobile-payment readers and mobile printers.
