Combination of Robust Features and Ergonomic, Rugged Design Optimized for the Industrial Mobile Worker

 Skaneateles Falls, NY – June 23, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announces its new Dolphin® 9900 Mobile Computer to help ensure intuitive use, reliability and enhanced productivity for workers in the field. The Dolphin 9900 combines the latest data collection, communication, and location-based technologies with an ergonomic and durable design.

With integrated voice and data communication, GPS and advanced Adaptus® Imaging Technology for barcode scanning and picture taking, the Dolphin 9900 lets businesses stay connected with their employees, supply chain and customers more effectively and more efficiently.

“Coming off the tremendous worldwide success of its predecessor, the Dolphin 9500, our target customer for the Dolphin 9900 are businesses that value a mobile computing platform with the latest technologies as well as comfortable and reliable use for the mobile worker all day long,” said Greg Payne, Manager of Product Marketing, Mobility Systems, Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. “While many manufacturers have migrated to less durable PDA-like solutions, the Dolphin 9900 class of product is being adopted across all core vertical segments, including transportation, retail, warehousing, logistics and healthcare. The 9900 fills a significant customer requirement for a device built specifically to serve applications in harsh environments that require high levels of both barcode scanning and keypad data entry. Additionally, the Dolphin 9900 delivers full Shift Plus™ battery performance—10+ hours—virtually eliminating the need to replace batteries during most work shifts. You simply cannot find this optimized balance of performance, durability and ease of use from any other mobile computing manufacturer.”

The Dolphin 9900 is Honeywell’s first solution that enables customers to capitalize on the company’s lifecycle strategy for backwards compatibility. This platform allows customers using the 

Dolphin 9500 to migrate to the next-generation Dolphin 9900 while keeping much of their legacy infrastructure—accessories, batteries and device peripherals—in place, creating the potential for significant cost savings. Additionally, user interaction with the Dolphin 9900 is nearly identical to that of its predecessor, reducing or eliminating requirements for user training and easing the migration of software applications onto the new device.

“Our goal is to earn customers for life,” said Garrison Gomez, Director of Product Marketing, Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. “A major part of that strategy is creating a lifecycle model that makes it easy for a customer to upgrade to a next-generation solution. Through interface similarity and backwards compatibility with our previous generation device, we can help make migrating to the latest technology a less costly and less resource-intensive process for customers.”

The industrial-grade Dolphin 9900 is built to be an extremely reliable solution with a highly rugged design and advanced power management technology to ensure uninterrupted performance in heavy-use environments. Specifications include an IP64 rating, 5-foot drops to concrete and testing to withstand more than 2,000 3-foot tumbles. 

The Dolphin 9900’s computing architecture is powered by Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 with an Intel® PXA 270 624 MHz processor with 256MB RAM x 1GB FLASH memory to ensure fast performance in data intensive applications. An integrated Wi-Fi certified 802.11b/g radio delivers real-time network access to mission-critical information and supports advanced wireless security standards. The Dolphin 9900 is Cisco CCX v4 certified and offers multi-mode wireless connectivity (GSM/GPRS, WLAN and Bluetooth).

“Windows Mobile enables businesses to mobilize their workforces and equip them with the applications they need to optimize productivity in the field,” said Scott Horn, general manager of the Mobile Communications Business, Microsoft Corp. “The Dolphin 9900 is a great example of a mobile device that leverages our software to empower industrial mobility customers with powerful customer service-enhancing capabilities.”

The Dolphin 9900 Mobile Computer is available today. For more information, visit www.honeywell.com/aidc or call 1-800-582-4263.

Los lectores de códigos de barras sin cables de Honeywell están entre los primeros en ofrecer encriptación certificada FIPS 140-2 para la mejorar en la seguridad de TI

Skaneateles Falls, NY / México DF – abril 21, 2008. - Honeywell (NYSE: HON) anunció que sus lectores de códigos de barras inalámbricos ya están certificados en forma independiente respecto al cumplimiento del nivel de seguridad 140-2 FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard, por sus siglas en inglés), requerido por las entidades del gobierno norteamericano. Honeywell es uno de los primeros fabricantes de equipos para la identificación automatizada y  captura de información (AIDC - Automatic Identification and Data Capture), que tiene disponibles sus escáner certificados con FIPS.

Los tres principales modelos de lectores sin cables de Honeywell – el escaner de imágenes lineales 3820, el escáner de imágenes 2D 4820 y el escáner industrial de imágenes 2D 4820i -, ahora están disponibles con la opción de un módulo de validación de seguridad FIPS.

Los especialistas gubernamentales de The Culver Group han confiado a lo largo de varios años en los escáner inalámbricos de Honeywell para proporcionar tecnología de captura de información confiable y de alto desempeño, a sus instalaciones de atención a la salud correspondientes al Department of Veteran’s Affaire (VA) .

“Necesitábamos un fabricante que tomara la iniciativa e implementara la certificación FIPS en sus escáner inalámbricos, que es exactamente lo que hizo Honeywell, lo cual nos permitió ayudar al VA para continuar con su iniciativa de seguridad y preservar la privacidad de sus pacientes”, explicó Brian Czawlytko, gerente de ventas gubernamentales en The Culver Group.

La validación FIPS 140-2 asegura que una tecnología específica de seguridad ha pasado rigurosas pruebas bajo los programas CAV (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation) y CMV (Cryptographic Module Validation), a través de un laboratorio acreditado independiente, y que puede ser usada para información sensible. La encripción FIPS, no obstante ser requerida en este momento sólo por el gobierno norteamericano, es valiosa para cualquier organización o negocio donde la información es transmitida inalámbricamente y existe la necesidad de mejorar laseguridad.

“Aunque en este momento FIPS sólo es requerido por el gobierno federal de los Estados Unidos, nosotros encontramos que tiene gran valor poder proporcionar capacidades mejoradas de seguridad para todos nuestros clientes, aún cuando no sea un requerimiento de su industria”, dijo Don Flynn, VP y GM de Image Scanning, en Honeywell Imaging & Mobility. “La certificación FIPS nos permite entregar una solución más robusta al mercado.

Honeywell Cordless Barcode Scanners among First to Offer  FIPS 140-2 Certified Encryption for Enhanced IT Security

Skaneateles Falls, NY – April 21, 2008 – Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced its line of cordless handheld image scanners are now independently certified to meet the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) 140-2 security level required by U.S. government departments. Honeywell is one of the first automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) manufacturers to deliver FIPS-certified cordless handheld barcode scanners.

Honeywell’s three main cordless scanners—the 3820 Cordless Linear Image Scanner, 4820  Cordless 2D Image Scanner and 4820i Industrial 2D Cordless Image Scanner—are now available with the option of a FIPS-validated security module.  

Government specialist The Culver Group has relied on Honeywell cordless scanners for several years to provide the Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) healthcare facilities with reliable, high-performance data collection technology.

“We needed a manufacturer to take the initiative and implement FIPS into a cordless scanner, which is exactly what Honeywell did, enabling us to help the VA continue its IT security initiative and preserve the privacy of their patients,” said Brian Czawlytko, Government Sales Manager at The Culver Group.

FIPS 140-2 validation ensures that a specific security technology has passed rigorous testing under the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) and CMVP (Cryptographic Module Validation Program) by an accredited third-party laboratory, and can be used to secure sensitive information. FIPS encryption, while presently required only by the U.S. government, is valuable to any business or organization where data is transmitted wirelessly and there is a need for enhanced security.

“While required solely by the U.S. federal government at this point, we see great value in the ability to provide enhanced security capabilities to all of our customers, even if it’s not a mandate in their industry,” said Don Flynn, VP and GM of Image Scanning, Honeywell Imaging and Mobility. “FIPS certification enables us to deliver an overall more robust solution to the market.”

su equipo Dolphin® 7850

Especialmente diseñado para aplicaciones detallistas, dealmacenamiento y de centros de distribución

Skaneateles Falls, N.Y. – 24 de septiembre de 2007 - Hand Held
Products, Inc., proveedor líder en soluciones móviles de captura de información basada en imágenes, anuncia hoy el lanzamiento de su nuevo equipo de cómputo móvil, el Dolphin® 7850. Construido para ambientes de escaneo intensivo, el 7850 es ideal para aplicaciones de almacenamiento y detallistas, incluyendo administración de inventario y de precios, envío y recibo de mercaderías, selección de órdenes y cruce de andén.

El 7850 está diseñado para un uso confortable y sencillo; con un mango integrado para su soporte manual, y una pantalla a color, amplia, angulada, para facilitar la vista de la información que se está escaneando e ingresando. Esto disminuye para los usuarios la necesidad de doblar continuamente las muñecas durante su uso.

“Diseñamos cada aspecto del 7850 teniendo específicamente en mente la satisfacción de las necesidades del usuario y de sus aplicaciones”, dijo Scott Garmon. Mobility Systems Product Manager en Hand Held Products. “El 7850 fue construido desde su base para servir a los trabajadores móviles: otras computadoras móviles que existen en el mercado, son productos basados en otras aplicaciones y que no fueron diseñados para ser tomados por un mango de soporte integrado. Levanta un Dolphin 7850 y sentirás inmediatamente la diferencia”.

Con el avanzado Shift-PLUS™ Power Management, el 7850 hace posible el escaneo intensivo para aplicaciones que utilicen radio frecuencia en forma continua por 10 horas o más, con la entrega ininterrumpida de procesamiento de información y mejora en la productividad del trabajador. La tecnología Adaptus™ Imaging 5.0, le agrega una gran habilidad para el escaneo omnidireccional, rápido y efectivo, de todo tipo de códigos de barras, además de captura digital de imágenes y capacidades de configuración del dispositivo.
