Scanner and terminal solutions specialist Peacock Bros. announce the release of a new breed of Handheld Mobile Terminals from Motorola – the Symbol MT2000 Series.

The intelligence of a mobile computer and the simplicity of a scanner

The Symbol MT2000 Series / Motorola MT2000 Series represents another industry first from Motorola — the marriage of the simplicity of a scanner with the brainpower of a mobile computer and an ultra-ergonomic gun-style form factor. The result is a handheld mobile terminal, a highly flexible device capable of streamlining many scan-intensive business processes in a wide variety of industries — from the front to back door in manufacturing plants, retail establishments, warehouses, hospitals and more.

The easy-to-use affordable mobile terminal offers a unique hybrid design, able to function as both a scanner and a mobile computer throughout the business day. The Motorola MT2000 can be utilized right out of the box as a scanner — either tethered to a point of sale (POS), laptop or other computing system — or as a standalone wireless mobile computer capable of enabling inventory scanning and other scan-intensive applications anywhere in the enterprise.

Flexible deployment modes— wireless, cordless, corded and batch

Two models provide the flexibility to meet a wide variety of business needs — the Motorola MT2090 and the Motorola MT2070. The Motorola MT 2090 offers integrated 802.11a/b/g for real-time direct application connectivity anywhere in your environment, ideal for put-away and picking in the retail backroom and warehouse aisles to material tracking, quality control and error-proofing on the manufacturing floor.

Both models of the Motorola MT2000 Series, the Motorola MT2090 and the Motorola MT2070 offer integrated Bluetooth® for a convenient cordless connection to a host device up to 91.44 m away — such as a Point-of-Sale (POS) or workstation. The MT2000 Series can operate in real-time or batch mode, increasing application flexibility. And regardless of whether the device is connected to your wireless LAN or to a host device, support for the latest wireless security protocols keeps your data safe — and helps ensure compliance with PCI and other government regulations.

Comprehensive data capture

Both the MT2090 and the MT2070 are loaded with advanced data capture capabilities. Choose the scan engine that best meets your bar code scanning requirements — a 1D laser scanner or 2D imager, both delivering Motorola’s signature performance. The 1D laser scanner offers an extraordinary range, able to capture even damaged and poor quality bar codes from as close as 2.54 cm to as far as 127 cm away.

The industry-leading 2D imager provides the flexibility to capture 1D and 2D bar codes as well as signatures, images and video. In addition, the world-class 2D imager re-sets the bar for imaging technology, providing extraordinary scan speeds on both 1D and 2D bar codes — eliminating the need for businesses to sacrifice scanning performance for 2D capability. Checkpoint EAS compatibility allows retail associates to scan and de-activate the theft-deterrent tags with a single press of the scan trigger — eliminating the need to purchase additional devices to support EAS requirements.

Industry-leading ergonomics

The Symbol MT2000 Series exemplifies Motorola’s expertise in industrial design. The handle-forward design balances easily in the hand and combines with a gun form factor, bringing all day comfort to even the most scan-intensive applications. The shiftable alphanumeric keypad helps ensure easy data entry — regardless of whether your applications require primarily numeric or text-based entry — or both. And soft keys enable the completion of a wide range of actions with the single press of a button.

Extensive application flexibility

The industry standard Microsoft® .Net Framework development environment enables the easy creation of new applications. In addition, porting existing batch and real-time applications developed for Motorola’s mobile computers and scanners, such as the Phaser, is virtually effortless — the new MCL Designer Software (optional) includes a built-in legacy application converter, and the MCL client is pre-loaded on the MT2000 Series. A small license software fee is payable to use the software. The result is a cost-effective migration path that allows enterprises to upgrade to the latest mobile device technology to further improve workflow automation and employee productivity — while preserving existing application investments.

Rugged design for maximum reliability

The Symbol MT2000 Series delivers extraordinary value. This entry level value-priced mobile terminal offers the same drop specification as Motorola’s high-end rugged devices — a 1.8m drop test performed across the entire operating temperature range. As a result, you can count on reliable performance regardless of whether the device is dropped at room temperature on carpet or tile — or out on the loading dock and in outdoor shopping areas in extreme winter cold or summer heat. While the drop specification defines the maximum survivable impact height, the tumble test defines endurance — the MT2000 Series experienced no degradation in performance after 250 tumbles in a rotating drum, which subjects the device to 500 consecutive 1m drops. And IP54 sealing provides dependable performance in spite of exposure to dusty environments or splashing liquid, such as a beverage spill.

A rapid return on investment (ROI) — and a low total cost of ownership (TCO)

With either of the model of the Symbol MT2000 Series, the MT2090 or the MT2070, you can count on the exceptional ROI and TCO you need to easily justify this mobility solution. This multi-function hybrid device eliminates the need to purchase separate bar code scanners, mobile computers, and EAS deactivators — eliminating the need to purchase multiple device types and greatly reducing the associated capital and operational costs.

Compatibility with Motorola’s flagship mobile device management solution, Mobility Services Platform (MSP), dramatically reduces the most expensive aspect of any mobility solution — day-to-day management of the mobile devices. MSP provides extraordinary centralized control of all your MT2000 mobile terminals, allowing IT to remotely stage, provision, monitor and troubleshoot devices — regardless of where in the world they are located.

And finally, since even the most rugged devices need a support plan, Motorola offers Service from the Start with Comprehensive Coverage. This unique offering sets the standard for post-deployment support by including normal wear and tear as well as accidental damage to internal and external components — protecting device and employee uptime while significantly reducing your unforeseen repair expenses.
