Motorola MC55 barcode scanner

The new sleek, size optimised WAN enabled rugged EDA is a true pocket-sized rugged handheld computer with advanced voice and data capabilities.

The Motorola MC55 is the latest mobile computer offering from Motorola and comes in 2 base models – the MC5590 for inside 4 walls and the MC5574 for outside 4 walls.

The Motorola MC55 brings a new level of functionality and flexibility to pocket-sized mobile devices. As the smallest and lightest Motorola rugged EDA, the MC55 packs the power of a cell phone, bar code scanner, camera, walkie-talkie and mobile computer into a robust business class device with true consumer styling and ergonomics — and is designed to meet mobile worker, business application and IT requirements.
This highly flexible product family provides mobile workers both inside the enterprise campus and out in the field with voice and data services needed to streamline tasks, increase productivity as well as improve customer response times - and customer service levels.
A broad array of accessories enables easy customisation of the MC55 to meet the unique needs of your business applications. And with enterprise durability, manageability, security and scalability, Motorola’s MC55 easily meets the most demanding IT policies and mandates.

This single device is available in primary variants and many configurations to best meet the requirements for a diverse set of mobile workers. Designed for workers inside the four walls, the MC5590 offers wireless LAN (WLAN) and Bluetooth connectivity for modems and printers - ideal for healthcare workers in a hospital, retail managers, retail mobile point of sale and more. The MC5574 is designed for workers outside your four walls - including field service, government and public safety workers.
The MC5574 offers WWAN, WLAN and Bluetooth connectivity that meets the needs of workers who spend time inside the four walls as well as out in the field. In addition, a multitude of configurations for each model allows enterprises to purchase the right feature set for different types of workers instead of all features for all workers, reducing capital expenditures and the overall cost of your mobility solution.

Automate, enrich and error-proof data collection in various areas of your business with a full suite of highly advanced data capture options, providing the flexibility to match the right options to the right workers. For workers who only need bar code scanning, choose a 1D laser scanner for environments that utilize only 1D bar codes or a 2D imager to enable the capture of 1D and 2D bar codes. For workers who need to capture images as well as bar codes, a 2 megapixel autofocus high resolution colour camera with either a 1D laser scanner or 2D imager allows the easy capture of bar codes and signatures as well as photographs for proof of condition and more.
