Motorola has expanded its mobile computing portfolio with the launch of ES400 Enterprise Digital Assistant (EDA), which it claims to provide mobile professionals with the information and interaction required to transform operations, increase enterprise profitability and complete their jobs anywhere, anytime.
The company said that the ES400 EDA enables workers in field service, field sales, retail, healthcare, utilities, manufacturing, transportation/distribution and small- and medium-sized businesses to collect data and access business-critical applications and back-end systems on the spot. It combines sleek form factor with advanced performance and includes enterprise-specific enhancements like photo annotation.
According to Motorola, the new EDA features three-inch VGA screen; 3.5G WAN, GSM HSPA and CDMA EVDO RevA compatibility; broad WLAN functionality supporting 802.11 a/b/g, enabling data, and in 2011, an application for push-to-talk over VoIP compatibility; and comes with three-year life cycle for IT support and product management, support and service programs.
The ES400 EDA, which is built on the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.5 platform, also features GPS, camera, 3-axis accelerometer and user interface operation. It includes Motorola Enterprise User Interface (MEUI), which provides users with a custom and customisable business-class interface.
Gene Delaney, president for Motorola Enterprise Mobility Solutions, said: "Motorola recognises that mobile teams are the lifeblood of an organisation, and empowering these teams with unmatched features and functionality to eliminate road blocks in the field is critical to an organisation.
"The new ES400 EDA combines the best features of mobility, communications and task functionality without compromising performance or design, offering mobile workforces the ability to take action and capture information with a single click in front of the customer where it counts most."
The new ES400 EDA will be available later this year to customers through the Motorola EMS sales team, Sprint and members of the PartnerEmpower channel program.
