LOGAN, Utah, Nov. 15, 2011 -- Juniper Systems is proud to introduce the latest enhancement to the one-of-a-kind Mesa Rugged Notepad, the Mesa with Barcode Scanner.  Featuring an integrated high performance 1D/2D barcode scanner, the Mesa with Barcode Scanner is the only Windows Mobile® barcode scanner with a large 5.7 inch display that still fits comfortably in one hand, a critical necessity during long workdays. The barcode scanner can be added to any Mesa model and can also be retrofitted on to any existing Mesa. The Mesa with Barcode Scanner is now available for order and domestic and international shipment.

"The unique features of the Mesa Rugged Notepad, combined with the powerful scanning capabilities of the integrated barcode imager, results in the ultimate asset management tool for rugged environments. Whether you're working in asset management, facilities maintenance, transportation and logistics, inventory, or utilities, the Mesa with Barcode Scanner is sure to collect and protect your data, day in and day out," said Josh Egan, Product Manager at Juniper Systems.

The Mesa with Barcode Scanner is built for rugged outdoor applications, excelling in conditions with bright sunlight and dark shadows. It quickly scans at various angles and distances, and even through glass, greatly improving worker productivity. By featuring a laser for aiming and a pick list mode for easy selection of multiple barcodes in close proximity, the scanning accuracy of the Mesa with Barcode Scanner is easy and precise. The Motorola™ scan engine inside the Mesa ensures compatibility with the majority of barcode scanning software, in addition to the included Barcode Connector™ utility that allows the Mesa with Barcode Scanner to be used right out of the box.

As mentioned, the barcode scanner can be added to any of the three models of the Mesa Rugged Notepad.™ The Standard Mesa features Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® wireless technology, while the Geo model adds 2–5 meter accuracy GPS and a 3.2MP camera enhanced with Juniper Geotagging™ (the ability to embed and emboss photos with date, time, and GPS position). The Geo 3G model includes all of the features of the Mesa Geo, plus a 3.5G GSM data modem for increased connectivity capabilities.

Like other Juniper Systems rugged handheld computers, the Mesa with Barcode Scanner is built to survive the toughest environments. It is built to IP67 standards, making it fully waterproof and dustproof, and designed to MIL-STD-810G standards for water, humidity, sand and dust, vibration, altitude, shock, and temperature. Its rugged magnesium and plastic chassis protects the Mesa from up to four foot drops onto concrete.
