sales, public safety, or anything else—the MobilePro 900
gives them the tools to do it more efficiently.

committed to mobile computing. NEC has an entire division
dedicated to the mobile worker, with a full suite of solutions
available to keep your field force productive, connected,
and protected on the road.
THERE’S NO OTHER HANDHELD PC LIKE IT TODAY

a class of its own. Its unique form factor boasts a large 8.1”
HVGA color screen that’s half the size of a notebook PC,
with nine levels of backlighting to enable better presentations.
It also has a large, touch-type keyboard so fingers actually
have room to type1. And it still has a touch panel and stylus
pen so your mobile workforce can capture signatures in the
field. Yet with all these enhancements, it’s only 5.25” by 9.8”
in size, and weighs a mere 1.8 pounds2, making it extremely

permanently embedded in the system. Your mobile workforce
will no longer be limited on the road – they’ll have everything
they need to conduct real business in the field.

productive members of your workforce.
IDEAL FOR FIELD ENTERPRISE USE
With so much power in the palm of their hands, your mobile
workforce can work more efficiently while out of the office.
They’ll have powerful applications, a full-size screen to view
them on, and easier data entry with the large keyboard. The
instant-on feature is also a valuable time saver. Just open
it, push the power button and they’re in business. When
they’re finished, all they do is close it and the LCD switch
turns it off – saving valuable battery life.
The standard lithium-ion battery in the MobilePro 900 has
extended computing power, providing an estimated 8 hours
of power under normal operation. An optional, larger battery
is available, which offers up to 16 hours of power under
normal conditions3. Plus it has a coin backup battery,
