DENSO ADC announced the latest version of its top-of-the-line, BHT-700  Series of 1-D and 2-D wireless handheld barcode terminals. The new  BHT-710BWB-WM model 1-D barcode scanner terminal is a robust mobile  computer that features the Windows Mobile 6.1 operating system, whose  smart-device capabilities allow the unit to be used in a wide variety of  mobile-application areas such as field operations, transportation and  logistics, retail, manufacturing and healthcare.

 The new terminal also features a fast, 624 MHz processor and 128 MB of  RAM, which speeds up work, as well as both Bluetooth and high-security  WLAN (802.11a/b/g) wireless coverage, with up to 12 hours of continuous  wireless communication from a single battery.

 The terminal’s advanced image-scanning software ensures reliable reading  of high-density or poorly printed barcodes, while its large depth of  field and rapid-response scanning improves operator accuracy. A  drop-resistant magnesium-alloy frame, which has been tested to survive a  five-foot drop, gives the ruggedly designed device a high degree of  durability.

 Additional user-friendly features include a 3.5-inch QVGA color LCD  touch screen and high-speed display graphics that make it easy to view  large amounts of information, increasing user efficiency; a slim,  lightweight design, to reduce operator fatigue; convenient one-hand  scanning operation; and VoIP voice control, which supports voice picking.
