Juniper Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of ultra-rugged handheld field computers, announces enhancements to its versatile Archer Field PC. The ultra-rugged Archer now is configurable in 16 different languages and features up to 128 MB of memory and 512 MB of internal data storage.

The Archer Field PC is now FM approved Class I Div 2 certified for use in hazardous conditions.

The rechargeable Li-Ion battery operates for more than 20 hours on one charge and recharges in 5 hours or less, while a smart battery displays charge status. The Power Dock has space for a spare battery to power up after the Archer's charge is complete. A travel charger is available for charging spare batteries on the go.

The Archer's versatility is enhanced by using peripheral SD and CF cards with an Archer extended cap. Extended caps accommodate a GPS receiver,bar code scanner, RFID, cellular modem, WiFi, or data storage card while maintaining the rugged integrity of the Archer. Simply plug the cards in and attach the appropriate extended cap; enhanced capabilities are then available in a fully integrated, sealed package. Integrated Bluetooth® wireless technology is available as an option.

Microsoft Windows Mobile powers more than 18,000 applications. The Archer includes Microsoft Excel Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile, Word Mobile, Outlook Mobile, Internet Explorer Mobile, and ActiveSync for the desktop PC.
