Motion's C5 MCA And F5 Semi-Rugged Tablet PC Enhance Mobile Workforce Productivity

Motion Computing, a provider of mobile computing and wireless communications, has announced the C5 mobile clinical assistant (MCA) and F5 semi-rugged tablet PC feature upgrades and new custom peripherals created for the unique design of the devices. To extend its usability to the point of care, regardless of patient location, C5 now features integrated mobile broadband and solid state drive (SSD) options.

By accessing important patient information, including digital images and patient history details, mobile clinicians can improve productivity with the C5's optional integrated mobile broadband.

By allowing the immediate transfer of documentation after every patient visit, ongoing connectivity will enable better collaboration with other treating clinicians and reduce travel time for many mobile points of care applications, such as those in home healthcare. Also, the optional SSD will help further protect the C5 from the occasional bumps and drops experienced by highly mobile professionals.

Continuously adding features and options, Motion helps companies to reduce the number of devices technicians carry, improve workflow, reduce data collection errors and ensure users can communicate with host systems and each other from the field. Mobile field forces in construction, government, field sales and service, and manufacturing can now store more images and other documentation with a new standard 80 GB HDD in the Motion F5 semi-rugged tablet PC. This allows the companies to complete tasks and solve customer issues when away from the office.

"Motion understands mobile workforces and we are focused on improving productivity across a broad range of environments, from the patient bedside to the construction site," said Mike Stinson, vice president of marketing at Motion. "Customer feedback is a critical part of improving our tablet PCs, and based on recent input we're confident that these upgrades will enable our target customers to be more productive, no matter where work takes them."
