It’s not often that you get something for free, but we like to take care of our customers and make things convenient. That’s why we are offering a free backup unit when you buy a coupuon book! This offer is only good until December 1st, so think of it as an early Christmas present. When you buy a Ryzex repair coupon book, you also get a FREE spare device to use while yours is being fixed. That’s equipment you’ll have in-stock, ready to keep your data collection operation up and running, even when your other unit’s in the shop. Of course, not all models are available, but you can call Ryzex to double check this offer includes your unit. Enjoy savings on repair and reduce downtime – now that’s a great present!

Honeywell provides premium replacement batteries and chargers for leading manufacturers such as Symbol, Intermec, Hand Held Products and Zebra. The cornerstones of Honeywell’s business are quality, customer service and attractive pricing. Honeywell liked the idea of partnering with us because of our ability to provide complete technology support to our customers, from legacy equipment, to the latest hardware, and now, Honeywell batteries.
We all know that batteries are not friends of our local landfills, and this partnership will also allow Honeywell to take advantage of our maintenance and battery recycling services for both their customers and ours.

The courier business never ceases to amaze me. No matter how many times they meet our ridiculous demands of overnight shipments, we still want them to deliver faster, better, and cheaper. Clearly, all couriers need to operate with speed and efficiency these days – especially in the mobility market.
One company that Ryzex recently partnered with, Datatrac (http://www.datatrac.com/), is a great example of how new technology can make shipping more efficient. Their software, eTrac, is able to track a package location and movement in real-time while automating proof of delivery documentation and invoicing, too. With our partnership, we are now able offer a unique solution to customers focused on freight logistics. Together, we can provide a high level of tracking and efficiency that wasn’t previously possible…now that’s amazing.
Ryzex began business in 1989 by providing customers with ways to extend the life of their ADC installation base. The Ryzex business has evolved and changed throughout the years to a full services technology company selling new, fully refurbished, repair, consulting and professional services.
Our evolution does not change the fact that Ryzex is still quite focused on helping those customers that are on the DOS platform stay there as long as the business requires. We understand the huge cost savings that can be achieved by staying with an older platform, especially if the customer is using any form of Terminal Emulation. The WSS1040 and WSS1060 are both widely used in the manufacturing environment and allow warehouse workers to have their barcode equipment conveniently located on their wrist. Both products provide wireless connectivity and support all forms of Terminal Emulation.
There is significant use of the WSS1040 and WSS1060 platform and Ryzex wants to ensure that we can support end-users on this platform for as long as they need. To this end, we have secured a healthy inventory of both platforms and can provide significant cost savings on refurbished equipment that can be backed by either a 1 or 2 year warranty. Ryzex can also help save customers money with our repair offering. Our inventory of discontinued product positions us to offer very competitive repair pricing for Flat Rate repair, yearly contracts, or coupons.
If you are feeling the pressure to upgrade or are considering moving to a new “wearable” platform you should also consider the level of support Ryzex can offer with your current WSS1040 and WSS1060 solution and the cost savings our refurbished equipment and repair offerings can extend. We can also guide you as you spec and budget your upgrade.
Within the month, Ryzex will host a webinar to address security questions on the DOS platform.

When working with the Windows platform there are a number of factors to consider. The most important upfront consideration is whether you want to be on Windows CE or Windows Mobile. Ryzex and Psion Teklogix can support any and all Windows requirements.
TekLogix announced recently that their 2nd Generation WORKABOUT PRO will support 3 different Windows platforms and operating systems. Here we hope to clarify the differences between the three, and the ideal usage scenarios for each. The operating systems available on the 2nd Generation WORKABOUT PRO are:
• Microsoft Windows CE 5.0. Considered the evolution from previous Windows CE versions, this operating system offers top performance and reliability for deployment of applications based on the Compact Framework 2.0, C++ or Java. It is ideally tailored for applications that require top reliability and an operating system that does not include potentially distracting features such as Personal Information Management (PIM) applications or games. Additionally, Windows CE 5.0 on the 2nd Generation WORKABOUT PRO includes a Psion Teklogix voice dialer that allows customers with GSM-enabled devices to use the devices for cellular voice as well as data communications.
• Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Professional Edition. This is equivalent to the Phone Edition available in previous releases of Windows Mobile (also known as Pocket PC Phone Edition). This OS edition requires that the terminal have a GSM/GPRS card for data/voice communication. Psion Teklogix will install a GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio with voice and data capabilities on devices with this edition of Windows Mobile 6. This Windows Mobile edition is ideally suited for customers interested in the standardized feature-set offered by Windows Mobile, in addition to voice/data cellular communications and Personal Information Management.
• Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 Classic Edition. This is equivalent to the non-Phone Edition that previously existed on earlier Windows Mobile operating systems (also known as Pocket PC). This OS edition can be installed on terminals that either have or do not have a GSM/GPRS card. Psion Teklogix will offer an optional GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio on devices with this edition of Windows Mobile 6; however, this edition of Windows Mobile allows usage of that radio only for data communications. This Windows Mobile edition is ideally suited for customers interested in the standardized feature set offered by Windows Mobile, and who may not require cellular communications.
