WT6000 Release 02-16-04-L-00-MV Release Notes

Description

Wearable computers give workers the hands-free mobility they need to boost productivity to a new level. But your workers find today’s wearables uncomfortable — until now. Introducing the WT6000, the new Android wearable computer that sets a new standard for enterprise-class wearability. It’s smaller and lighter than other wearables on the market. With the incredible new mounting system, the WT6000 fits comfortably on every worker, on any size arm. The larger touchscreen provides more real estate to display intuitive graphical Android applications. Integrated NFC allows workers to instantly tap-to-pair with Zebra’s Bluetooth ring scanner, Bluetooth headset and Bluetooth printers at the start every shift, making it easy to deploy a complete hands-free speech-directed solution. And the industrial rugged design delivers maximum uptime in your most demanding environments. The result? Maximum comfort. Maximum durability. Maximum workforce productivity. The WT6000 — putting the wearable in industrial wearable computing.
