FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mio
Launches MioWORK A500s Android Device Series for Professionals
Updated
Handheld Products Complement 7″ and 10.1″ Android™ Tablets
Taoyuan,
Taiwan, June 17th, 2021 - MiTAC Digital Technology
Corporation (MDT), a subsidiary of MiTAC Holdings
Corporation (MHC, TWSE: 3706), today announces the global release of
its new MioWORK™ A500s series 5″ handheld
Android™ 10.0 devices for enterprises. The rugged A500s series models
replace the A500 series released in 2018 and complement the already
available 7″ F740s tablets and the larger 10.1″ L1000 series tablets.
A
5″ Mobile Computer Optimized for Professional Use
All devices of the A500s product line are GMS certified for enterprise
use, allowing for straightforward implementation of enterprise mobility
management solutions. The series contains three models, the standard
A500s, the A505s with a Honeywell 1D/2D LED aimer, and an 8 megapixels
camera on the back. The A545s model features a Honeywell Laser Aimer
instead of the LED aimer, with GPS/AGPS + GLONASS for navigation, and
LTE Cat.6 connectivity.
An
Excellent Solution for Warehousing, Logistics, and Restaurants
MioWORK™ A500s handhelds provide businesses the option to integrate a
small and light device for frontline staff in warehousing, logistics,
hospitality. With IP67 water and dust protection, the devices withstand
exposure to the elements by logistic delivery staff and endure up to
1.8m drops with the optional protective caps following military
standards. The integrated NFC / HF RFID readers allow for payment
processing by delivery services and restaurant order management.
Unique
Antibacterial Housing
The COVID-19 pandemic enhanced awareness of the importance of hygiene.
The material of the A500s series housing has antimicrobial properties
and passed Japan's JIS Z 2801 certification. While not protecting
against viruses, the housing shields against many microbes, supporting
corporate efforts for increased hygiene.
A
Wide Selection of Accessories Support Special Usage Scenarios
To supply enterprises with a complete package for many different usage
scenarios, MioWORK™ developed an extensive ecosystem of accessories for
all MioWORK™ products that remain compatible over product generations.
Multi-unit cradles and multi-slot battery chargers ensure that staff
never runs short on devices. The hot-swappable 4,100mAh battery permits
10h+ use and seamless 24/7 use of the device through consecutive
shifts. Custom detachable hand straps secure the A500s but still allow
quick battery exchange under time pressure. An optional pistol grip
with a BCR trigger key permits fast and effective data collection
without tiring the staff during long shifts. A 9-pin pogo connector for
secured charging and data transmission is included in the box.
Quality
Components for Product Reliability and Longevity
As a Taiwan manufacturer supplying leading brands and enterprises, MDT
uses the best components for the MioWORK™ product lines to prevent
unnecessary product failures and replacement worries. All devices are
equipped with a HD quality wide-angle capacitive multi-touch IPS panel
with glove support. At 450nits with optical bonding for enhanced
sunlight readability, the display is suitable for indoor and outdoor
use. The low-voltage Octa-core Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 625 processor
provides solid processing power for business applications without
draining battery life.
Customers requiring higher front camera resolution can opt to upgrade
to 8M.
Enterprise-Grade
Mobile Device Management Solution by MDT
MSP and corporate IT departments can benefit from MiDM™ (MiTAC Mobile
Device Management), the optional device management suite. MiDM™
provides secure remote management that is tailor-made for MioWORK™
products. OS, app updates, and support are managed remotely, greatly
saving maintenance time and the need for spare devices. More
importantly, the application was developed to reduce data transfer,
with customers reporting high reductions in telecom data charges.
The MiDM™ suite can be customized for clients that require unique
functions and settings. Enterprises with enhanced security requirements
can deploy the suite on their own on-premise IT infrastructure as well.
MiDM™ is developed in-house and includes a professional customer
support team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dscHnJ7H0qk
Hospitality and other businesses with devices accessible to the public
can take advantage of the free MiLockTM add-on, a Kiosk Launcher that
prevents users from switching apps or accessing the device settings.
Complemented
by Sibling Tablet Series
Enterprises looking for a total solution provider can combine the A500s
series with 7″ tablets of the F740s tablet series and 10.1″ tablets of
the L1000s series. Both series feature the same quality as the A500s
series, have special enhancements and custom accessories like vehicle
cradles and docking stations for use in the medical field, fleet
management and logistics, field services, and retail and hospitality.
