And comprehensive maintenance and support services — required for even the most rugged products — ensure maximum uptime and value for your investment.

Symbol MC70 Business Challenges and Solutions  

• Your mobile employees use a cell phone for voice communications and a PDA, laptop or paper notebook for data capture and communications, adding cost and complexity to your operation
  Integrated voice, data capture and communications on a single device eliminates the need for multiple devices, effectively reducing capital expenditures as well as support costs.
• Your consumer grade PDAs and cell phones are not built for vigorous enterprise use, resulting in high repair and replacement cost and, employee downtime.
  This small but rugged Symbol MC70 is built specifically to endure all-day everyday use inside your campus and out on the road, reducing operating and support costs leading to a lower total cost of ownership.
• Your mobile workers need to efficiently capture and collect data about your products and services.
  Multiple scanning and imaging options in the Symbol MC70 enhance worker accuracy and productivity when collecting, entering and communicating information from the point of service.
• Your mobile workers inside and outside your four walls need real-time communications they can count on, from drivers on the road making deliveries to personnel on the warehouse floor managing shipments.
  The Symbol MC70 offers true anytime anywhere cost-effective wireless communications for your various workgroups. Select the wireless WAN/LAN/PAN model to keep workers in the field in touch, and choose the LAN/PAN model for workers inside your four walls.
• While mobile worker productivity is improved, with the use of mobile devices the benefits are eroded by the major increase in time and cost required to support the devices.
  Compatibility with Symbol’s Mobility Services Platform (MSP) will enable your IT staff to easily and remotely deploy, provision and manage all your Symbol MC70 devices, regardless of where they are located.
