Group Mobile Adds iKey StreetCase to Product Line

Group Mobile is excited to offer the new StreetCase for Apple® iPad® from iKey. The iKey StreetCase is designed to instantly change an iPad into a rugged laptop. With the click of a button, an iPad easily locks into the durable ABS polycarbonate case, giving the user the protection of an industrial-grade solution at a fraction of the cost. When the iKey StreetCase is closed, the StreetCase fully shields the iPad from drops, vibration, and extreme temperatures. The ikey StreetCase can even be submersed in water without causing damage to the tablet.

The iKey StreetCase has many great features such as an integrated Bluetooth-compatible keyboard that is completely sealed to withstand the elements, and with three levels of red LED backlight, it can always be seen clearly, even during nighttime use. The keyboard has a micro USB charging port built into the case, and can be used for 2 months on a single charge. Along with a fully QWERTY layout, the StreetCase includes iPad-specific hot keys for media controls, search function, home screen and locking. Learn more about the iKey StreetCase...

Enhanced GPS:

Enhanced GPS uses SBAS and a GPS Accuracy Algorithm to provide dramatic improvements. Under the correct conditions, Enhanced GPS allows data collection with 1-2 meter accuracy in real-time, while gathering raw data output for post-processing applications. Enhanced GPS can be paired with any other Juno T41 configuration including the basic handheld computer, smartphone, or the 1D/2D Barcode Imager to get extra value out of existing workflows.

1D/2D Barcode Imager: 

Trimble Scan Technology reads a wide range of traditional 1D barcodes, as well as 2D matrix codes. It also digitally captures signatures and images. All of these features are customizable using the Trimble "Scan Agent" application.Omni-directional reading capabilities, along with high motion tolerance, will allow quick, accurate scanning - no matter what the angle or orientation the unit is to the barcodes. The white light illumination with red LED sight line simulates laser scanner performance and provides fool-proof barcode reading in real world conditions: dirt and mud, glass and bright surfaces, harsh and dark conditions, and partially obstructed barcodes or matrices.
