Flexible, accurate, and easy to use, the CipherLab 8500 Industrial Mobile Computer gives you the right data capture tools, so you can make smarter decisions for your business.

The CipherLab 8500 Mobile Computer series captures data effectively with both RFID and barcode reading capability, and communicates wirelessly in three different ways to your corporate information system.

Designed to interface with any operating system, the CipherLab 8500 Mobile Computer series is the most versatile, efficient, mobile computer available.

Industrial/ Manufacturing
From paper products to electronics, pharmaceuticals, and automobiles, the CipherLab 8500 Terminal Series helps streamline your workflows and puts timely information in front of the people who need it to make the best choices that drive a successful business. Throughout receiving and inspection, WIP, QA, and shipping, the CipherLab 8500 Computer Series gives all your processes a flexible, reliable data capture tool. Workers will appreciate its rugged, yet comfortable design, long battery life, and flexible data capture capabilities.

Transportation/ Logistics
What could be better than getting the right goods to the right place, delivered on-time? Knowing every step along the way their location, movement, condition, and delivery status. The CipherLab 8500 Mobile Computer Series is your key to logistics and transportation success by keeping you informed with more accurate data for scheduling, dispatching, shipping, receiving, and route accounting. A rugged device with flexible data capture, this mobile, handheld computer is easy to use, and combines powerful computing with long battery life and communications options to transmit data to where it's needed, when it's needed.

Two readers for today and tomorrow
Designed for barcode reading and RFID interrogation, the CipherLab 8500 Terminal Series helps you benefit from today's AIDC applications, plus prepares you for more comprehensive RFID tagging possibilities in the future. The CipherLab 8500 Series gives your operations the capabilities to build a better business today and tomorrow.

When Windows® is not required
The best decisions you make for your business put the right functionality in the hands of workers. Many applications don't need Windows for easy data capture and entry. Those are the work environments ideal for the CipherLab 8500 Computer Series.

Windows requires more computing energy than text-based systems, resulting in shorter battery life. For longer operating periods, the CipherLab 8500 Series text-based OS puts a lighter load on the processor, extending battery operation up to 400 hours.

Familiar VT100/220 and TN5250 terminal emulation, a 27-key keypad and a large, multi-font, LCD touchscreen displaying up to 19 lines of text make the CipherLab 8500 Series easy to use and easy to read inside and outside. The CipherLab 8500 Mobile Computer Series adds powerful, wireless data management in any enterprise operating system environment.

Wide acceptance, broad application
Retail, manufacturing, professional service, government agency, and healthcare industries have benefited from CipherLab's innovative designs, comfortable ergonomics, ruggedness, features and value in their mobile computer products.

Built strong for extreme environments
Bumps, drops, cold, heat, humidity and constant use. These are the reasons we designed the CipherLab 8500 Series for the most extreme treatment. It can withstand harsh abuse, extreme operating conditions (there's even an optional heater), and dusty, wet environments- and continue to deliver the performance you need.

Perfect for enterprise-wide system solutions
Designed around industry-leading computing technology, the CipherLab 8500 Series delivers maximum computing power for your applications. Its CompactFlash slot enables GSM/GPRS capabilities or memory expansion to increase flexibility and expandability for large system applications.

There when you need it
The CipherLab 8500 Series keeps working day and night with efficient energy usage and long battery life. Its 4000 mAh battery works through multi-shift operations between recharges, with up to 400 hours of use in batch mode and 32 hours using WLAN1. A backup battery protects data during battery replacement.

The right tool at the right time and the right place
Built to work the way you do, the CipherLab 8500 Series integrates a range of communications options. 802.11b WLAN enables instant wireless communications with backend systems. GSM/GPRS WWAN gives you maximum productivity in the field to update enterprise databases from anywhere. Bluetooth Class 2 puts more information in more places wherever and whenever you need it. Plus, USB, modem and Ethernet-enabled cradles give you limitless options for communications.

Easy label reading- at any distance
Long- and extra-long-range lasers boost productivity and accelerate all reading activities, from as close as 5cm (2") up to 13 meters (43ft) away. Laser and linear imager options allows ideal adaptation to your environment and requirements.

The CipherLab 8500 Series reads a wide range of codes, including the latest 2D symbologies. Increasingly used where small label size and large amounts of data are desired, 2D codes allow high-data density in such applications as small item tracking, electronic component marking, portable data files, Material Data Safety Sheets or secure personal identification such as drivers licenses.
