AUSTIN, Texas – April 1, 2009 – Motion Computing®, a leader in mobile computing and wireless communications, today announced that the F5 rugged tablet PC and the C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA) are upgraded with a new processor for improved performance, expanded WiFi capabilities and a new 64GB solid state drive (SSD) upgrade. Additionally, the F5 now features a black exterior to better withstand dirty and dusty mobile work environments.
Tablet Upgrades Provide Improved Performance, Flexibility
Upgrades to the C5 and F5 include expanded communications capabilities with the Intel® WiFi Link 5300 series 802.11 a/g/draft-n, Intel Centrino® technology with the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor for improved performance and battery life, and a new upgrade to a 64GB SSD. A new external battery charger is also now available for the C5 and F5, which enables users to quickly charge additional batteries for use throughout the workday.
The C5 Mobile Clinical Assistant Delivers Quality Care
The C5, the industry’s first MCA developed in collaboration with Intel®, is a hospital-grade device that is proven in healthcare environments. Now deployed in more than 4,000 healthcare organizations worldwide, the C5 has proven to enhance clinician satisfaction, improve point of care documentation, increase clinician productivity and improve clinical documentation accuracy.
“Motion has led the way in the development of the first MCA and it’s clear that their experience is leading to enhancements that are tailored to improving healthcare workflows,” said Patrick O’Brien, managing director, Tracline UK Ltd. “With more than 150 NHS organizations using the C5, we’re seeing increased awareness of the benefits of point of care computing and expect significant further growth throughout Europe.”
The F5 Mobile Field Tool Ideal for Rugged Working Environments
The F5 is a rugged tablet PC that provides electronic clipboard functionality and is an ideal solution for field workers who compute and enter data while standing or walking. Mobile professionals across construction, field sales and service and government are using the F5 because it provides the durability and functionality of a rugged PC without the extra weight and price associated with traditional, fully rugged devices.
“Vaillant has seen a significant improvement in field worker productivity with the use of Motion tablets, and we’re excited about these new features that enhance both durability and performance,” said Klaus Walder, project manager at Vaillant, an international heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology company. “The black exterior and the SSD will help further protect the devices as our field technicians work outside and in harsh environments.”
