Trimble recently announced that its Nomad 900 handheld computer has received an IP68 rating—the top rating for protection against dust and moisture. In addition, five new languages options have been added.
Meeting the toughest standards for Ingress Protection, the handheld computers offer reliable and rugged operation, even after prolonged exposure to water and dust. In addition to the new IP68 rating, the handheld computer also meets MIL-STD-810F standard for drops, vibration and temperature extremes.
The computer now also supports 5 new operating system languages, including Chinese, Italian, Korean, Portuguese and Russian in addition to English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish, making the Nomad 900 ideal for multi-cultural settings. At initial start-up, the user can select a preferred language.
"The new language options are also great news for our customers, allowing greater flexibility," continued Davis, “Users can make the decision of which language they want to use when they receive the computer. Also resellers no longer have to order and stock units with specific languages."
The Trimble Nomad 900 features Windows Mobile, an 806 MHz processor, a long-life battery, integrated wireless such as WWAN, GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities and a high-resolution, sunlight-visible VGA touch screen display.
The handheld computer also includes a 5MP auto-focus camera with flash, and CompactFlash (CF) and Secure Digital (SD) slots to add more capabilities, such as SD/SDHC memory and RFID.
