ScanTexas is now doing predictive site surveys with Motorola's LAN Planner tool, that are easily validated. The software can be used for predictive design of wireless LAN before going on site, with a high degreee of reliability. It enables network planners to rapidly and accurately design robust wireless networks with the capacity, reliability, and performance required for implementing the most demanding wireless applications, in the most challenging environments. LAN Planner takes wireless network performance to the next level, ensuring that critical wireless applications and infrastructure are effectively deployed, fully functional.

Mobile Computers allow mobile, real time data collection to your computer system. RF Systems
can provide the tool companies need to increase productivity. Wireless RF systems increase the
speed and accuracy of data input and verification functions performed during inventory, shipping, and receiving.
Building a Unified Enterprise Mobility Strategy. After using or implementing new sophisticated computer
systems to help you run your business, why not provide the necessary technology to feed data more accurately
and faster into your computer system?

Mobile Computers are available in different physical form factors: handheld pistol grip, handheld open palm style,
wearable, or forklift mounted. These different form factors allow you to choose the type of device that's appropriate
for your use. Contact your ScanTexas Area Representative to discuss your specific needs.

Mobile Computers are easily integrated into existing software applications. Terminal emulation, Windows CE, and
thin client application generators provide the different integration tools needed to interface to current software applications.
Terminal emulation allows mobile, wireless devices to connect to a host computer system as a VT type terminal, IBM 5250
(AS400) type terminal, or IBM3270 type terminal. As the radio frequency devices have smaller screens than full screen
terminals, the display portion can be rewritten or middle ware software can be used to re map the larger screens down to
the smaller handheld screens. Application generators such as MCL,or Wavelink can speed up the application development
effort in a Windows environment.

ScanTexas also provides custom software development capabilities for data collection applications.
These systems can be anything from an Access database for inventory control to a field technician
dispatch system with remote communications and PC call tracking functionality. Contact your ScanTexas Area Representative
to discuss your specific needs.

Current RF networks (including 802.11 communications) communicate at 11 Mb up to 54Mbps, which is
very fast for most transaction oriented systems whether character or GUI based. Newer standards like
802.11a or 802.11g specify higher speed (54 Mbps) data rates that are more appropriate for wireless PC
network GUI applications that send a lot more data than transaction based systems.  Remember that the
new higher speed access points will have limited coverage ranges of around 100 feet, versus the 200-700 feet
range we currently experience.

ScanTexas has 75 years of experience designing and integrating radio frequency systems for customers
in numerous industries. ScanTexas is currently certified by the major mobile computer manufacturers on
their mobile computer products. Contact your ScanTexas Area Representative
