BackJuniper Systems’ New Rugged Handheld Features 4.3-Inch Touchscreen and Advanced Battery Technology
8 Oct 2013
Logan, UT — Juniper Systems has announced the availability of its much anticipated new rugged handheld, the Archer 2™. With radical improvements over the first generation Archer™, the Archer 2 promises better overall performance with an astonishingly bright display, an extra-long battery life, enhanced GPS capabilities, and rugged IP68 construction.
The latest generation handheld incorporates several new technological advancements. Sporting a custom 4.3 inch Illumiview™ high-visibility display, the Archer 2’s screen brightness has been well received by reviewers. Its battery features a unique technology inspired by the technology used in hybrid car batteries to prevent excessive battery drainage in low temperatures. Referred to as Overtime Technology™, this Archer 2 super battery will last 20 hours and up on one charge.
The new device is the first Juniper Systems handheld to feature a capacitive touchscreen for improved response and ruggedness. The Archer 2 also includes a glove-friendly numeric keypad for rapid data entry, a feature which many Juniper Systems customers highly value. Like other Juniper Systems handhelds, the Archer 2 is built to very strict standards at its ISO 9001-certified facility, having been tested to MIL-STD-810G and given a top IP68 rating for dust and water.
“We have been looking forward to the release of the Archer 2 for some time,” said Rob Campbell, CEO at Juniper Systems. “We have taken special care in addressing the needs of customers in the design of the Archer 2. It is a product of utmost quality, and the excellent reviews we have received on our Archer 2 beta units have made us very optimistic that the Archer 2 is going to meet our customers’ needs exceptionally well.”
Juniper Systems will be showcasing the Archer 2 at the INTERGEO 2013 conference from October 8-10 in Essen, Germany. Those interested in learning more about the Archer 2 may visit Juniper Systems’ website at www.junipersys.com/archer2.
