Motorola Solutions ET1 Android-based enterprise tablet

Motorola Solutions’ ET1 Android-based tablet is an enterprise-class tablet computer designed for a variety of vertical markets. It is particularly suited to the retail environment.

The ET1 brings the familiarity and popularity of a consumer-class user experience to an enterprise-class device that includes: enhanced durability; a Gorilla Glass 7″ colour display, containing video and images with a screen bezel that can be customised to match the retailer’s brand; single- and multi-slot tablet and battery chargers; front- and rear-facing cameras; optional Bluetooth-connected handheld barcode scanners, mobile-payment readers and mobile printers; and hot-swappable battery packs and secure system software. Key industrial-strength accessories such as secure multi-slot recharging stations are also available.

Intended for day-long use, the Wi-Fi-enabled ET1 is password-protected so it can be easily shared and quickly provisioned for each employee, according to his or her level of responsibility and access rights. Based on log-in information, managers can automatically control and monitor use of approved applications to help ensure on-the-job productivity is not compromised.

Retailers can run a variety of applications developed by Motorola’s partner and independent software vendor (ISV) community, including assisted selling, mobile point of sale, manager electronic dashboards, planogram management and compliance and item locator.

Supported by Motorola’s software modules, including RhoElements, a new HTML5 application enablement framework, businesses can develop and deploy enterprise applications on both Windows-embedded handheld and Android-based Motorola devices, for consistent user experiences.
