High performance
The Recon features the high-performance 200 MHz or 400 MHz XScale processor, a color display
with front light, 64 MB of RAM and 128 or 256 MB of nonvolatile Flash storage to protect data
from resets or power loss.
Ultra rugged
The Recon can handle the toughest field conditions. It meets MIL-STD-810F standards for drops, vibration and temperature extremes, and it has an IP67 rating—meaning it's impervious to dust and water immersion.
Windows Mobile
The Recon runs Windows Mobile 6.0, so you'll have the applications you use most-including a calendar, e-mail, and Mobile versions of Word, Excel and even PowerPoint.
Wireless Communication
The TDS Recon X-Series has optional built-in Bluetooth and 802.11g wireless communication capabilities. In addition, there are two CompactFlash slots to add memory cards or other CF devices, such as GPS.
The Recon for land surveyors
Survey Pro on the Recon is now even more affordable. Running Survey Pro 4.x software, the new Recon NX gives HP 48 users an option to update their data collector at a very comfortable price.
Water Resistant
The Recon is completely sealed to keep running in the wettest situations. Testing has shown that you can submerge the Recon one meter deep in water for up to 30 minutes—and the Recon will keep running.
Long battery life
The Recon's rechargeable NiMH PowerBoot module provides 3,800 mAh of power, enough to give you at least 15 hours of continuous typical use—more than a full day's work. The optional AA PowerBoot Module uses two AA batteries (alkaline or lithium) to keep your Recon running for up to 16 hours. It's perfect as a backup or in areas where recharging isn't possible.
Linux option
TDS partner SDG Systems offers the Recon with Linux as the operating system. If you have a Linux-based application, you now have a viable option for running it on the TDS Recon. Learn more at the SDG Systems Web site.
