The new bundled solution kits represent highly integrated technologies that seamlessly integrate with smart device technologies such as Android™ or Windows and can help enterprises further leverage emerging 5G infrastructure.

For law enforcement, the bundled solution is designed for in-vehicle hand-mounted, with USB or BT connections.

Ravi Panjwani, vice president at Brother Mobile Solutions, says, “Auto ID and barcode labeling continue to provide clear benefits to enterprise organizations in the retail, supply chain and manufacturing industries, as well as all types of field organizations such as public safety and government. BMS’ alliance with Getac allows our companies to jointly deliver auto-ID and labeling solutions positioned to deliver efficiency and production benefits via connected smart devices and advanced printing and labeling.”

Panjwani continues, “There will even be kits that leverage 5G technologies – a winning technology combination, which will enable faster, more reliable communication and data transfer to help businesses streamline processes, enhance safety and improve customer service.”

Joe Martin, director of the Product Solutions Division at Getac, says, “The proliferation of connected technologies has dramatically increased the challenge for decision-makers across many enterprises and industries who are tasked with continually identifying and deploying the best combination of devices to meet their field, warehouse or industrial workforce’s need.
