The new Falcon X3 provides real time data capture and communication, assuring accurate inventories and maximizing productivity. Available with either laser scanner or 2D imager, the Falcon X3 can be configured to match the needs of any department. Both laser and imager come with Datalogic patented Green Spot good read feedback assuring accuracy. Packaged with Windows CE or Windows Mobile 6.5, the Falcon X3 integrates seamlessly with WMS and ERP management systems. Plus, the Falcon X3's Summit Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g radio provides maximized coverage, thanks to a unique diversity antenna system.

"Our new Falcon X3 also delivers incredible performance with Power3 architecture. Power3 leverages a dual processor architecture and proprietary features that make the new Falcon X3 a clear winner. Datalogic Mobile is known for blending performance and ergonomics - features our users want and the new Falcon X3 delivers," comments Bill Parnell, CEO of Datalogic Mobile.

Attention to ergonomics is seen throughout the Falcon X3. The pistol grip version offers an arched handle and ergonomic trigger, making high frequency scanning operations comfortable throughout the day. The numeric and alphanumeric keyboards are set up placing high use keys at the operator's fingertips, with a universal numeric phone key layout. The crisp QVGA display and backlit keyboard make it easy to work in dark indoor or extremely bright outdoor environments. The Falcon X3 is built rugged, resisting numerous drops from 1.8 m (6 feet), while IP64 level sealing protects the unit from dust and liquids.

Datalogic Mobile's software and service tools complete the new Falcon X3 with preloaded and pre-licensed Wavelink Avalanche and Terminal Emulation.
