Introducing the PA600 MCA

The PA600 MCA (Mobile Clinical Assistant) was designed for users who need a compact and rugged mobile computer for data collection in real time transactions. This compact and lightweight device incorporates a Windows CE 5.0 operating system, a laser bar code scanner and an RFID Reader. In addition, the PA600 contains a 3.5-inch QVGA color touch-screen, keypad and wire- less communication capability.

To reduce total cost of ownership, the PA600 is sealed to meet IP64 standards and can withstand multiple 4-foot drops to con- crete. Thanks for purchasing the PA600 Rugged Enterprise PDA.
