TrackAbout does not directly sell or repair hardware equipment. Our customers are welcome to purchase their equipment from the vendor of their choosing. However, only certain handheld devices and printers have been certified for use with TrackAbout products. Please see the page for [[TrackAbout_Certified_Devices|Link to TrackAbout Certified Devices Page]].
  
<br> What kind of handhelds do you need? Here are the recommended handheld models from TrackAbout. <br> <br>

Also, we have found it's very helpful to our clients if they work directly with a hardware vendor who provides support and repair services. We've listed some hardware contacts for you to consider.

*MC3090 Wireless + Bluetooth:Bluetooth is recommended for any worker who might do mobile printing at some point. So a good question is whether or not you see your drivers doing paperless deliveries with printing receipts at customer sites some day. If so then you should consider the bluetooth handhelds.

*This handheld can talk through a regular wifi network. This is the same kind of network that is used to connect laptops to the internet from airports and offices. This handheld is recommended for plant and dock handhelds. This wifi connection allows real-time inventory control and the handhelds can get wireless alerts and do other more interactive data transfer.

*MC70 Wireless + Bluetooth + Cellular: Cellular allows real-time communication with driver handhelds in the field. We do not have any customers that have gone with this option. The MC70s are also a different form factor which I think is not quite as good for heavy scanning as the MC30XX series of handhelds. Also with the advent of "MiFi" (wireless routers from Verizon and Sprint that are on the cellular network but support a local wifi network) you could put one of these MiFi devices in the truck and give the drivers real-time communication near the truck with a wifi device rather than a cellular device.
