No Hands Required: Motorola Solutions Introduces the Next Evolution of Mobile Computing
Revolutionary enterprise-class HC1 headset mobile computer designed to improve productivity and collaboration and increase worker safety on job sites
WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 22, 2012--AUSA Annual Meeting & Exposition (Booth #1239) - Motorola Solutions, Inc. (NYSE: MSI), a leading provider of mission-critical communication solutions and services for enterprise and government customers, today unveiled the HC1 headset computer, the first in a new class of Motorola hands-free enterprise mobile computers that leverages advanced voice recognition, head gestures and video streaming to navigate applications that access and view business-critical documents and schematics. The HC1 can be used in harsh environments and most remote locations, where access to complex graphical data or text is needed and using a laptop or handheld device is impractical without obstructing vision.
KEY FACTS
SUPPORTING QUOTES
Dr. Andrew G. Cook, senior vice president of Operational Excellence and Innovation, AREVA Inc.
“In the highly demanding and regulated nuclear energy industry, innovation is essential in meeting ever-increasing standards for safety and operational performance for our utility customers. With the Entervise Remote Expert application running on Motorola’s HC1 headset computer, we can perform independent quality oversight at nuclear power plants without requiring a second person to enter restricted areas. With the HC1’s added camera functionality, our on-site technicians can enlist the support of our experts at the home office in real time to see exactly what is seen in the field and help them resolve conditions quickly and safely. We expect that the HC1 will provide us with measurable gains in productivity and efficiencies that will reduce radiation dose and operating costs.”
Girish Rishi, corporate vice president and general manager of Enterprise Mobile Computing, Motorola Solutions
“The HC1 represents a paradigm shift in hands-free mobile computing and is Motorola’s first of its kind to be commercially available for industrial use. Offering a more productive hands-free work environment for technical field workers, the HC1 will benefit both businesses and government and public safety organizations.”
