Introduction
Janam’s XG100 Series has been optimized to meet the unique requirements of mobile workers in warehouses, distribution centers, loading docks and other operating venues where rugged gun-shaped mobile computers are deployed. While its center-weighted ergonomic design makes it uniquely balanced and light, the Microsoft Windows-based XG100 is a powerful workhorse that delivers state-of-the-art computing performance in an exceptionally rugged package. Designed for the work at hand, the XG100 delivers superior performance and flexibility at a great price.
About the Janam XG100
The XG100 has a light, sleek, highly-functional form factor for intensive barcode scanning. Its unique, center-weighted ergonomics, with battery positioned in handle, make it feel remarkably light and balanced in the hand. It features a color, quarter-VGA display, Marvell XScale PXA320 624MHz processor and robust 802.11 b/g Summit WLAN radio with Cisco’s CCX v4 support. It has an extra-wide keypad area with large, easily-depressed buttons and superior backlighting. The XG100 meets IP64 sealin g requirements, withstands multiple 6’ drops to concrete on all sides across wide temperature range and survives 2,000 tumbles in a rotating test chamber.
Further enhancing its value, the XG100 features integrated 1D barcode scanning as well as built-in 2D barcode scanning capability. Janam’s 2D scanning solution enables users to upgrade barcode scanning capability from 1D to 1D/2D on any device at any time with a simple firmware upgrade. With Adaptus® Imaging Technology, the XG100 easily reads all types of barcode symbologies including linear, stacked and 2D. It offers the flexibility to adapt as business needs change, without the need to invest in new hardware.
