Dolphin 9900: The Latest in Data Capture and Wireless Communication

Logistics Insight Asia - New Products, 12/8/2008

Honeywell’s new Dolphin 9900 Mobile Computer 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.

Says 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.
