Intelligent Instrumentation Expands Windows CE.NET Data Collection
Terminal Offering with Handheld - LANpoint Mobile

Tucson, AZ. March 21, 2005. Intelligent Instrumentation, a leading manufacturer of rugged networked and wireless data collection terminals designed to improve the performance of supply-chain execution applications, announces the newest addition to their LANpoint family of Windows CE.NET / Intel^® X-Scale^®-based rugged data collection terminals with the handheld terminal - LANpoint Mobile. This vertical quarter-screen handheld terminal is a rugged and flexible system that offers portable data capture solutions in demanding manufacturing and warehousing applications.

"With the introduction of the LANpoint Mobile handheld terminal, Value Added Resellers, System Integrators and end users can now cover a broad range of applications with just one terminal and handheld vendor. Customers can select one of our vehicle mount terminals for pallet picks and put-aways, use our rugged stationary terminals for shop floor control or production tracking, and then equip their distribution center personnel with our new LANpoint Mobile handheld data collection terminal for 'pick and run' applications," says Paul Liska, Data Collection Product Manager for Intelligent Instrumentation. "Support and training costs are also minimized, because developers have to support only one operating system, and the warehouse workers only have to learn one application 'look and feel' on our devices."

With its embedded Windows CE.NET v4.2 operating system, customers will have built-in access to Microsoft's .NET Compact framework, with all of its associated tools and management features, which will greatly simplify software application development.

Intelligent Instrumentation's exciting new XScale-based LANpoint.NET product line demonstrates Intelligent Instrumentation's commitment to producing leading edge technology for real-time data collection. This new line of rugged data collection terminals will feature Microsoft's^® latest CE.NET operating systems, and are designed to support a broad range of AutoID technologies, including RFID, barcode, mag stripe and biometrics. By standardizing the LANpoint data collection vehicle, shop floor and now handheld terminals on Microsoft’s proven embedded CE.NET architecture, our products will fully support the newest development tools available for rapid application deployment and device management. This state-of-the-art product line can provide a lower cost of ownership and greater return on investment, and aligns the customer’s business with future emerging technologies and applications. Please take the opportunity to explore all the leading-edge data collection solutions provided by Intelligent Instrumentation at www.LANpoint.com.

The LANpoint Mobile devices, application specific add-on accessories, desk and DIN-Rail mountable cradles will be available for shipment beginning April, 2005. Distribution and support of the LANpoint Mobile handheld terminal will include the USA, Europe and selected ROW countries.

With the LANpoint Mobile handheld introduction, Intelligent Instrumentation now offers several high performance vehicle, fixed, and handheld data collection terminals that are based on the Windows CE.NET / Intel XScale platform. The company's expanding family of LANpoint.NET Data Collection Terminals offers their customers more options and choices in selecting the data collection hardware needed to meet their application specific requirements.
