Datalogic Mobile, a world leader in mobile computing solutions, has come up with the smallest and most sleek Personal Digital Assistant, Elf. As the name suggests, it is almost like a miniature version of other PDAs in the market, yet loaded with features that are difficult to find in a single PDA. Using the latest technology, the Elf is rugged and robust enough to serve all critical applications in the field. Thus it is the perfect PDA to use for field service, sales, delivery, retail and logistics applications. Its compact, ergonomic design is in compliance with Datalogic Mobile’s standards to allow a single-handed operation with ease and lack of fatigue after hours of continuous use.
The Elf also has the distinction of being the first device equipped with Power3. Power3 is a new Datalogic concept created to meet the ever-increasing requirements of enterprise stakeholders, and revolves around 3 main pillars devised after extensive research. These include C3 real time technology, F3 ergonomics and a rugged construction, and D3 convenient and intuitive tools.
The Elf Power3 is constructed with the aid of a parallel microprocessor architecture that includes PXA310, ARM-7 processors, 256 MB RAM, Windows Mobile 6.5, which is the latest Microsoft Operating System for mobile computing solutions. The Elf has the capability to scan 1D and 2D barcodes with its imager having the Datalogic patented Green spot, a feature that instantly gives a good read feedback. The Elf offers the option of getting an HF RFID interrogator for additional data capture facilities. Its auto focus 3MPixel camera and flash helps to capture flawless images. Elf has a complete set of radios for 24 hour connectivity including HSDPA UMTS for voice and data with 3.5G, Summit’s Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g wireless radio and Cisco CCX v4 certification. Bluetooth connectivity aids connection to wireless headsets and printers, and its GPS aids planning of routes and getting proof of delivery. Additionally, its micro USB port enables charging through the power supply of the standard phone industry, or USB OTG (on-the-go) communications.
The Elf merges with the best business practices since it comes with Datalogic’s software tools and its strategic software alliances with market leaders. The Datalogic Configuration and Desktop Utilities help in keeping complete control over the device, and Wavelink Avalanche helps in the quick deployment and centrally managing all Elf installations, since it is licensed and preloaded on every Elf.
