MC55 Enterprise Digital Assistant (EDA). A new level of flexibility and functionality for managers and task workers inside the four walls
True pocket-sized rugged handheld computer with advanced voice and data The MC55 brings a new level of functionality and flexibility to pocket-sized mobile devices. The smallest and lightest Motorola rugged EDA, the MC55 packs the power of a walkie-talkie, VoIP phone, mobile computer, bar code scanner and camera into a robust enterprise class device with true consumer styling and ergonomics — and is designed to meet mobile worker, business application and IT requirements. With the MC55 in hand, task workers such as retail associates and managers, healthcare workers in a hospital, and servers in a restaurant enjoy the cost-effective yet sophisticated mobile voice and data services required to streamline tasks and improve productivity, customer response times and customer service levels. Enterprise class rugged construction, manageability, security and scalability allow the MC55 to easily meet the most demanding IT policies and mandates. And a broad array of accessories enables easy customization of the MC55 to meet the unique needs of your business.
Choose the data capture options you need Automate, enrich and error proof data collection in various areas of your business with a full suite of advanced data capture options, with the flexibility to match the right options to the right workers. For applications with intense bar code scanning office requirements, choose a 1D laser scanner for ultimate performance, or a 2D imager to capture 1D and 2D bar codes. For workers who need to document images as well as read bar codes, a 2-megapixel auto-focus high resolution color camera can be added to either the 1D laser scanner or 2D imager, allowing the easy capture of a signature for mobile point of sale — or a photograph at the receiving dock to document a damaged incoming shipment.
Maximum voice quality…and functionality Designed from the ground up to support voice as well as data, the MC55 offers a superior voice user experience. Functionality includes push-to-talk (PTT) walkie-talkie style instant communications over the WLAN and support for IP telephony, using partner software to extend desk phone features to the MC55. This flexibility allows workers to place a private call in sensitive environments, such as healthcare, while managers can easily reach all associates at the press of a button — without using the intrusive overhead paging system or affecting the customer experience. Additionally, handset and speakerphone modes provide workers with the convenience and flexibility to use the voice mode that meets the needs of the job…and the moment. And since voice and data services are delivered over the WLAN, in-building cellular coverage issues that can affect voice quality are eliminated.
Easily customize to meet your specific application requirements A complete line of accessories enables you to tailor the MC55 to best meet the needs of applications and mobile workers. A broad range of keypads ensures easy operation over a wide variety of applications — alphanumeric keypads enable easy entry of more sophisticated data, the PIM keypad is ideal for basic application functions and numeric keypads are designed for workers who primarily utilize the MC55 as a smart phone. And the MC55 system is IEEE 1725 compliant, improving performance and safety for the entire power chain — including power components in the device as well as the battery and power-related accessories, such as power cables and charging cradles.
Enterprise durability, manageability, security and scalability When it comes to meeting enterprise IT criteria, the MC55 shines. The sleek consumer-styled device delivers true enterprise class durability. Motorola’s industry-leading drop and tumble testing combined with IP54 sealing ensure reliable operation in spite of the inevitable drops, bumps and exposure to the elements. Compatibility with Motorola’s Mobility Software Suite provides extraordinary centralized control of all your MC55 devices, offering remote staging, provisioning, monitoring and troubleshooting of devices: the ability to secure data on the devices as well as during transmission and much more. Support for the latest in wireless security standards provides maximum security for your wireless devices as well as your wireless and wired networks. And you can easily add devices as your workforce expands or to mobilize applications in other areas of your business, providing the scalability to meet growing and changing business needs.
Superior return on investment (ROI) With a rapid ROI, the MC55 is easy to cost-justify. This single device replaces as many as five business devices, substantially reducing capital and operational expenses — there are simply fewer devices to purchase and manage. Designed for a five to seven year lifecycle, the MC55 offers a lifespan two to three times that of the average consumer-grade PDA, preserving your hardware as well as associated application investments. The ability to meet the needs of many different types of workers with a single device reduces the load on your IT staff — there are fewer devices and operating systems to understand, manage and support. And the ability to cost-effectively deliver voice services over the existing wireless LAN reduces telecommunications charges.
A platform you can count on today…and tomorrow The MC55 offers the processing power and memory architecture required to deliver superior performance for a wide variety of voice and data applications. Mobilizing your business applications and integration with your existing network infrastructure are easy with the latest industry standard mobile operating system — Microsoft® Windows Mobile® 6.1 Classic. And since Motorola mobile computers share a common technology platform, applications developed for other Motorola mobile devices are easily ported to the MC55, improving deployment times and maximizing the return on investment for existing applications.
