The TDS Nomad continually packs even more functionality into a powerful and full-featured rugged data collector. Start with an 806 MHz processor, a long-life battery and integrated wireless capabilities like WWAN, GPS, 802.11g, and Bluetooth.

Optional Nomad configurations include an integrated laser bar code scanner and color digital camera.

The Nomad also features a high-resolution, sunlight-visible VGA display that shows graphics and maps in crisp detail. And it's fully rugged and just as tough as our other data collectors which means the Nomad offers a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than non-ruggedized data collectors.

High performance
Every Nomad comes with an 806 MHz Marvell PXA320 XScale processor, 128 MB RAM and a hot-swappable rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack to keep going strong all day. Recharging time is significantly reduced with the use of lithium-ion batteries.

Windows Mobile
The Nomad also includes the latest Windows Mobile 6 software, so it runs all the applications you use most, including a wide range of third-party software for industry-specific applications.

Wireless WAN
WWAN capability is AT&T network-compatible so you can stay connected wherever you go. The Nomad software includes a Quick Setup application that allows easy configuration of the WWAN network by selecting country and carrier.

Wireless communication
The Nomad has built-in Bluetooth and optional 802.11g wireless communication capabilities.

Water Proof
The Nomad is completely sealed to keep running in the wettest situations. Testing has shown that you can submerge the Nomad one meter deep in water for 30 minutes.

Nomad Specialty Accessories
The Nomad features broadband wireless modem capabilities via the Sprint cellular data network in the U.S. The broadband modem from Franklin Wireless transmits data and email plus provides Internet access. Other Nomad accessories include caps, battery modules and boots.

Expansion
A CompactFlash (CF) Type II slot and a Secure Digital (SDIO) slot add to the versatility of your Nomad. Use memory cards to increase data storage for larger jobs or use other accessory cards for multiple applications. (CF slot not available with optional installed laser bar code scanner or color digital camera.)

AA Battery Module
The optional AA Battery Module uses three AA batteries (alkaline or lithium) to keep your Nomad running for up to 4 hours. It's perfect as a backup or in areas where recharging isn't possible.
