Standard wireless capabilities include built-in Bluetooth®, giving you cable-free connections to peripherals such as RFID readers and barcode scanners, and the built in cellular modem enables you to exchange data wirelessly utilizing the Office Sync solution.  No matter what your set-up, the Nomad handheld gives you flexible connectivity methods to meet your farm business needs.

Like other Trimble rugged handhelds, the Nomad computer meets rigorous MIL-STD-810F military standards for drops, vibration, humidity, altitude and extreme temperatures.  It also comes with an IP67 rating.  That means the Nomad handheld is completely sealed against dust, and it can survive immersion in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes.  Trimble rugged handhelds have proven their reliability in the field with thousands of real-world users.

Every Nomad handheld comes with an 806 MHz Marvell PXA320 XScale professor, 128 MB RAM and a hot-swappable Lithium Ion (Li-lon) battery that can work all day long without a recharge.  The Nomad computer also includes the latest Windows Mobile® 6.1 software, so it runs all the applications you use most, including a wide range of third party software for industry-specific applications.
