Box Technologies Launches Motion CL900 Rugged Tablet PC
Box Technologies, a Total Solutions Provider in a diverse range of technologies and services, is delighted to announce the launch of the new Motion CL900 rugged tablet PC in the UK & Ireland.
"Box has played a critical role as Motion has expanded its position as the leading provider of slate tablet PCs worldwide," said Nigel Owens, VP of worldwide sales for Motion. "As a premier Motion value-added distributor, Box already serves as an important extension of Motion in the UK & Ireland. With its history of excellent customer service and support, Box is an ideal partner to launch the exciting new Motion CL900 in the UK & Ireland."
The CL900 is Motion's first small form factor, rugged tablet PC designed for productivity and business integration. The Motion CL900 is a robust tablet with a flexible feature set that enables access to and utilisation of data while mobile. The tablet will enable users to take advantage of connected applications, while also supporting uninterrupted productivity in remote or disconnected areas. Motion has combined its trademark rugged design and robust solution set with the connectivity and portability of a tablet that is designed and built for business with the capability of transforming office life forever.
The Motion CL900 is built based on customer demand for a mobile and integrated device that offers the capabilities to support mobile workflows. Architected for future expansion, the CL900 will feature a peripheral module that will enable simple device expansion. Tightly secured and integrated into the device, the peripheral module will incorporate key documentation tools without compromising durability. Peripheral modules will be released later in 2011.
"The CL900, with its rugged build quality, has real competitive advantages and is an exciting addition to the robust portfolio of Motion products", said Russell Willcox, Chairman Box Technologies. "We are excited about the future and the new business markets made accessible by the CL900 and will be working especially hard to fulfil the technical delivery aspects of bringing this new product to the UK & Ireland."
The CL900 maximises mobility and portability. From the hospital to the job site or retail store, the tablet will stand up to harsh conditions, while enabling real-time collaboration and access to information. The CL900 was designed to integrate seamlessly into business environments.
Advanced durability, connectivity and mobility features include a lightweight and rugged design that offers the protection of the MIL-STD-810G specification at only 2.1 pounds, less than 16mm thick, and up to 8 hours of battery life for all-day, uninterrupted productivity. IP-52 rated (exterior) protects against dust, moisture and other elements, Corning Gorilla Glass provides added durability and scratch resistance, and DuPont Vertak improves visibility in various lighting conditions. Optional integrated Gobi 3000 mobile broadband with GPS, 802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN, Bluetooth 3.0, and a wireless SIM port provide advanced communications.
Running Microsoft Windows 7 and powered by the upcoming Intel Atom processor currently codenamed "Oak Trail", the CL900 balances power, performance and battery life. Additionally, IT serviceability and enterprise support options help ensure uptime and reduce IT resource drain. The new Intel Atom processor is specifically designed for tablet PCs and mobile workflows that require a balance of productivity and battery life. An enhanced version of the Atom line of processors, "Oak Trail" will offer the responsiveness, security and manageability required for mobile users in business environments.
The unique design of the CL900 offers multiple optional features and connectivity ports to improve functionality for a variety of different uses. Documentation and expansion features include front and rear-facing cameras to support documentation, video conferencing and collaboration, and a full complement of ports including USB, SD Card, audio and video to simplify the use of industry standard peripheral solutions. A unique countertop docking station optimises the CL900 for touch input and adds a simple and easy way to integrate peripherals, while a variety of cases and straps accommodate multiple usage patterns.
"The CL900 offers an exciting opportunity in a number of office, mobile and field applications being lightweight, rugged, plus with the core benefit of running on Windows 7", said Dave Dooley, Sales & Marketing Director, Box. "We enjoy working with Motion and the company brings great expertise to the product development process. Our relationship encapsulates the true spirit of partnership and we look forward to working together on the CL900."
