Focus on your job - not your computer
TDS handhelds are designed from the ground up to meet tough military standards for durability, reliability and operation in tactical environments. Our expertise in low-power electrical design is evident in the TDS Recon, which provides 8 hours of continuous operation from two AA alkaline batteries-a new benchmark in 400 MHz color-display handhelds.

Since its introduction, the TDS Recon has been deployed into a number of mission-critical DoD applications. From the city streets of downtown Baghdad to the jungles of Central and South America, the Recon has been validated in applications where a laptop computer—with its associated boot time, weight and battery limitations—was not a feasible option. TDS supports today's war fighter with a readily available COTS solution that is more easily supported and maintained than expensive military-only solutions.

The Recon runs Windows Mobile, so you can use a wide variety of commercial software with no modification necessary. And with a serial port and two CompactFlash slots, the Recon can be used as a link to an array of peripheral devices, so you can use it for countless applications. It's ready to serve.
