Motorola MC70

Oct 3, 2007 gps navigation, motorola

Motorola today introduced a new version of its handheld mobile computer MC70, now equipped with GPS capability. MC70 is still geared towards the enterprise user with field-based employees, such as shipping companies, to track and manage real-time tasks, and provide mobile workers with navigation support to improve location-based productivity.

MC70 has a rugged design, making it suitable for field work. It can withstand being dropped on concrete from a certain height, resist water, dust, and heat and cold.

For navigation MC70 relies on a SiRF Star III receiver, and adds other features such as barcode data and signature capture, Wi-Fi, bluetooth, and support for high-speed EDGE networks. Motorola chose ALK to provide with navigation software which can use MC70′s internet connectivity to provide relevant data to the mobile user – in addition to providing door to door directions.
