Motion Introduces the CL900 SlateMate to the Canadian Market for Seamless Mobile Productivity

An Industry-first Integrated Expansion Solution, the Motion CL900 SlateMate Helps Mobile Users Document and Process Data at the Point of Service

TORONTO, ON and AUSTIN, TX – November 30, 2011 – Motion Computing®, a leading global provider of tablet PCs and supporting mobility solutions, today announced from Construct Canada 2011, the introduction of the Motion® CL900 SlateMate™, a patent-pending and industry-first productivity tool that extends the functionality of the CL900 Tablet PC. Securely integrated into the tablet PC’s internal frame, the first CL900 SlateMate includes a magnetic stripe reader (MSR) and barcode scanner (BCS) for mobile data acquisition and processing. Built on the foundation that purpose-built integrated tools maximize the benefits of tablet PC deployments, SlateMate was designed to enable the future delivery of new integrated configurations that meet the needs of users across vertical markets.

The CL900 SlateMate with MSR and BCS transforms the CL900 into an enhanced data acquisition and processing device. For the construction industry, SlateMate’s integrated MagTek® MSR easily documents I.D. cards with a single swipe, while the commercial-grade BCS reads virtually any barcode, vital when scanning building components or mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) equipment to access essential information, such as commissioning and installation data, maintenance schedules and startup procedures.

Built for Mobile Productivity
The Motion CL900 Tablet PC is a durable, lightweight and highly-mobile tablet PC that provides up to eight hours of battery life. In combination with SlateMate, the CL900 provides users with security, connectivity and the flexibility of fewer devices to manage. Whether swiping a shopper loyalty card, patient I.D. or driver’s license as well as detailing an inspection or managing medication administration, the CL900 SlateMate is the ideal solution for improving customer satisfaction, productivity and data integrity – key factors across the construction, field service, healthcare and retail industries. Benefits across vertical markets include:

• Rapid data acquisition for improved documentation
• Real-time access to customer and inventory availability
• Improved customer service due to insight into up-to-date data from any location
• Faster turnaround times through improved collaboration and connectivity

“While extended battery life still tops the list, integrated tools, outdoor visibility, durability and touch-screen capabilities are all key considerations for mobile productivity solutions,” said David Krebs, director of the Mobile and Wireless Practice at VDC Research. “With the CL900 SlateMate, Motion offers an innovative mobile platform that addresses the performance and functionality needs of today’s mobile professionals.”

Availability
The first in what will be a family of integrated expansion options for the CL900 Tablet PC, the Motion CL900 SlateMate with MSR and BCS is now available through Motion’s network of resellers and distributors. The CL900 SlateMate is not sold separately and is only available at the time of product purchase. For more information contact your local reseller or visit your local Motion website.
