Datalogic Skorpio-GUN™ system architecture couples the fastest Intel X-Scale series processors with the latest Windows CE operating system release. Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi® 802.11 b/g Wireless communication capabilities enable fast transactions and seamless interaction with information systems. While the latest RF security protocols such as WPA™ and WPA2™ keep data secure, with Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) Version 3 is possible to leverage all the advantages offered by a Cisco WLAN infrastructure.

Datalogic Skorpio-GUN™ high visibility color graphic display with touch screen helps users work more efficiently. The practical 38-key alphanumeric keypad allows data and descriptions to be quickly input.

Datalogic Skorpio-GUN™ fulfills 100% of traditional terminal emulation applications through the DL-TCL-NET™ software client. The most modern Web-based solutions exploit Microsoft Internet Explorer through the DL Locked-Web-Browser application.
    Developers can create and deploy single or multiple data collection applications rapidly with MCL Collection™. Wavelink Avalanche gives IT managers the ability to centralize mobile device management by revising configurations, synchronizing software and updating firmware and drivers remotely and seamlessly.
