LXE Solidifies Leadership Position In The Cold-Storage Wireless Data Collection Market
New freezer terminals round out the industry’s most complete line of cold chain wireless data collection products.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 26, 2004 -– With LXE’s recent introduction of the
cold-loving VX6 and VX7 rugged vehicle-mount computers, LXE now has a wireless
computer for any freezer or cold storage application. LXE’s VX1 and VX2 have
been the standard for DOS-based vehicle-mounted freezer terminals since 2001.
The VX4 and VX5 vehicle-mounted low temperature terminals provide users the
benefits of the robust and familiar Windows 2000 and XP operating systems. The
Windows® CE .NET based VX6 (half screen) and VX7 (full screen) vehicle-mount
computers enable customers to run the same CE .NET applications on both their
handheld and vehicle-mount computers, greatly reducing user training and support
costs. In addition, LXE’s ultra-rugged, heated MX5 handheld computer, with its
magnesium housing, has been designed to handle harsh environments beyond just
cold temperatures.
“It takes a very specific expertise to design and
build wireless terminals for the freezer market,“ says Doug Brown, LXE senior
product manager, “and the tough part isn’t the extreme cold, but moving in and
out of the cold, which causes condensation to become an issue.” Extreme
fluctuations in temperature create condensation, and condensation causes screens
to fog up, keyboards to seize up and internal parts to corrode, reducing
operator productivity levels and increasing operator frustrations and equipment
repair costs. LXE Engineering understands these issues and designs heated
products to withstand these extremes while operating reliably in the customer’s
cold storage environment.
“There are also network issues that one has to
overcome in a freezer that aren’t as prevalent in the typical warehouse,” says
Hank Stephens, LXE product manager. “Freezer walls are heavily insulated and
lined with stainless steel, which creates an RF environment conducive to
multi-pathing.” RF multi-pathing is the phenomenon that occurs when radio
signals bounce off obstacles and arrive at the receiver at slightly different
times, causing the receiver to fail to pick up either signal. LXE’s Spire®
Antenna, based on technology originally developed for space applications,
reduces the problems associated with RF multi-pathing.
All of LXE’s
rugged mobile freezer and low-temperature computers support LXE’s RFTerm®
multi-session terminal emulator, so customers can easily and cost-effectively
run legacy terminal emulation applications (ANSI VT220, TN3270 and TN5250). When
the time is right to migrate your application to a Windows GUI or browser-based
design, there is no new hardware to buy.
LXE’s heated NEMA 4 enclosure
allows operation of your wireless access points or wireless bridge in
temperatures as low as -22° F (-30° C). It also protects them from ice, snow and
hose spray. As always, LXE’s freezer products are supported by LXE’s
award-winning Customer Support team, winners of the Mobile Star Award™ for best
customer satisfaction in mobile hardware for the second consecutive year.
