Motion Computing Launches LE1600TC Tablet Client; Enhanced Security Features Lead the Way for Advanced Wireless Networks in Mobile Client-Server Based Environments

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 20, 2005--Motion Computing(R), a leader in ultramobile computing and wireless communications, today unveiled the mobile thin client version of its LE1600 tablet.

The LE1600TC includes the popular security features from Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Service Pack 2, such as improved wireless networking and an embedded firewall. Combined with the LE1600's advanced security capabilities, organizations can help ensure user, network and enterprise data are protected.

“Our tablet client customers need the reliability, durability and rich feature set we've brought to market on the LE1600”

The LE1600TC includes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for hardware-protected encryption, as well as secure digital certificate storage for authentication and secure e-mail applications. Its built-in fingerprint reader uses biometric data to prevent unauthorized access to system resources and encrypted data.

Priced from $1,899 and shipping now, the Motion LE1600TC runs the Windows(R) XP Embedded operating system. It comes loaded with Microsoft(R) Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Citrix(R) ICA(R) Client and Microsoft(R) Internet Explorer with the Sun Microsystems(TM) Java(TM) Runtime Environment, and EverNote(TM) Corp.'s ritePen(R) 2.5 handwriting recognition software with improved editing tools. Because thin client computers do not store data locally like traditional PCs, these applications connect the device to software managed and data stored on an organization's network.

The Motion LE1600TC uses the recently announced Motion LE1600 slate tablet PC chassis and has many of the same features, including its award-winning wide-viewing angle display and advanced battery management capabilities. The tablet's traditional hard drive is replaced with 512MB solid-state flash storage, allowing storage only of the operating system and essential applications.

"Our tablet client customers need the reliability, durability and rich feature set we've brought to market on the LE1600," said Peter Hunt, Motion's vice president of value-added peripherals. "This thin, light computer delivers high data security, networked data access, centrally managed administration and high system reliability -- as well as a full line of peripherals important to our customers."
