The Problem with "Distributed" RF Computing

We’ve all been through the “centralize / de-centralize / centralize” cycles over the past several years. Today’s cycle is centralization, thanks in large part to the power available on host systems. Another factor is the reduced cost of managing those servers vs. the cost and problems of trying to manager multiple (sometimes hundreds) of dedicated

How to Make the "RF PAINS" Go Away!

This scenario has happened hundreds of times:
A distribution center just received a shipment of wireless computers. They’ll be used for inventory control. The access points are in place, the host applications are running, and the guns are ready to use.

After a while, though, problems start to pop up. The guns freeze

When are RF Devices Like Cell Phones?

ANSWER: When you have problems with connections that cause frustration and inefficiency, but you just put up with poor service from your provider. So you just reconnect (redial) and try again. And again.

Then, you need to restart the host session (if the host hasn’t locked you out), sign back in, navigate through menus back

Yet Another Deal Saved by Stay-Linked….

Thanks again for all your help – this was truly lost (to Manufacturer) – you guys turned it around for us.” What the Channel Manager DIDN’T say was that they won the business away from a competing manufacturer that supplies a “Free” client-side telnet application. Clients quickly see that the “Free” telnet is like trying to use Microsoft “Office-Lite” – you might get some functions you need, but you’ll never get the REAL BENEFITS.
