Mobile computers combine barcode scanning, business applications, wireless
communication and data entry in one enterprise-grade device. They allow
employees to capture, access and update information directly at the point of
work, whether they are receiving inventory, picking orders, checking prices,
tracking production or completing field-service tasks.
Technowave supplies rugged mobile computers, handheld PDAs, keypad terminals,
wearable computers and vehicle-mounted devices for businesses across the UAE,
Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait and the wider GCC. Available models support retail,
warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, delivery and field operations.

The most expensive device is not automatically the best option. Select the
model according to the application, working environment, expected usage and
required device lifecycle.
Before deploying a large quantity of mobile computers, test the selected
model using your actual barcode labels, Wi-Fi network, software,
accessories and working conditions.
A short operational trial can identify scanning, battery, connectivity,
application or usability issues before the full deployment.
Technowave supplies enterprise mobile computers from established manufacturers
including Zebra, Datalogic, Honeywell, Newland, Chainway and Sunmi. Our team can
help evaluate the required form factor, scan engine, operating system,
connectivity, durability and software compatibility.
