The Jett-eye is an advanced handheld computer that lets users easily capture colour digital images and data in any remote location and seamlessly transmit everything to a central location.

Two Technologies, a leading manufacturer of rugged handheld computers and terminals used in global applications, today announced the addition of the Jett-eye to its line of customisable products.

Integrating digital photography, barcode and wireless connectivity capabilities, Jett-eye is an advanced yet affordable handheld computer that lets users easily capture colour digital images and data in any remote location and seamlessly transmit everything to a main office, manufacturing facility or other centralised location.

"The Jett-eye was developed in response to requests from our customers for a high-performance handheld mobile computer with digital photo capabilities that could be used under virtually any condition".

"Jett-eye is our cost-effective solution that allows users to aim, shoot and share, capturing and relaying images and data from virtually any field location".

"We see enormous potential for it in a number of industries", said David Schwartz, Vice President of Marketing.

The product is built for quality digital imaging and data capture in the most demanding industrial and commercial environments.

Its 5Mpixel (4Mpixel processed) digital camera is equipped with an ultrabright LED light source for photography in low-light areas, a wide, sunlight-readable display for ease of viewing in all types of settings, and adjustable IR coated-glass optics crisp, clear images.

The barcode imaging sensor, with a read distance of up to 210mm and excellent depth-of-field, fully supports the industry's most widely used barcode standards.

The unit's IP65 rating ensures that internal components are completely protected against dust and moisture.

The Jett-eye also incorporates industry-leading Bluetooth and WLAN (802.11b) technology for real-time wireless connectivity with corporate networks and the Internet.

Additionally, it is outfitted with RS232 and USB ports for adding peripherals and accessories that extend the product's utility.

Other product features include 128Mbyte SDRAM and up 8Gbyte of data storage, allowing it to accommodate most onsite processing and storage needs.

Two Technologies foresees a number of practical applications for Jett-eye in a range of vertical markets where visual information capturing, storing and sharing is success-critical, including the geoinformatics, manufacturing, transportation, surveying, agriculture, security, government, military, construction, medical, pharmaceutical, insurance, retail, and hospitality sectors.

The Jett-eye uses Microsoft Windows CE.NET 5.0 operating system and an Intel XScale processor operating at 624MHz, an ISO-registered reader/writer support for all major industry tag protocols, and durable housing with intuitive keypads and a sunlight readable 320 x 240 touch screen display.

These features make it an ideal handheld computer for global applications requiring reliability and performance.

As with all products in the Jett product platform, the Jett-eye's appearance and functionality are customisable and built-to-order in the time it takes other manufacturers to ship standard products.

Customisation options include keypad layout and graphics, case colour, logo tag, serial tag, protective bumpers and cabling, bezel nomenclature and software, while configuration enhancements include the development of complex features such as RFID for data-collection applications.
