Janam adds Linux OS to XG series

WOODBURY & HARMONY, USA: Janam Technologies LLC, a leading provider of rugged mobile computers that scan barcodes and communicate wirelessly, and SDG Systems, a leader in developing and supporting Linux system software and implementing Google Android (AOSP) solutions on rugged and embedded devices, announced that Linux operating system is now available on Janam XG Series devices.

The Linux operating system fully supports the features of the XG Series and a wide variety of convenient programming tools through the Yocto Project.

"Research indicates a steady increase of Linux adoption for the third straight year," said Todd Blumer, president of SDG Systems, citing the Linux Foundation 2013 Enterprise End User Report. "While the report focuses primarily on Linux servers, the implications for mobile enterprise devices are equally exciting. We are pleased to enable Janam to offer the XG Series with Linux and look forward to a growing relationship."

"Linux is a fully customizable, auditable and controllable software platform," said Harry B. Lerner, CEO of Janam. "The ability to customize it makes Linux a highly appealing alternative to bundled commercial systems, particularly for retailers, manufacturers and government agencies. With Janam's rugged XG Series mobile computer, businesses that rely on Linux servers for mission critical workloads can now seamlessly extend the benefits of that OS to their mobile operations."

Janam's XG Series was designed for scan-intensive, extended shift use in demanding environments. With its battery in the handle, the XG Series line of products is incomparably light and balanced in the hand. It offers industrial-quality construction and efficiency-enhancing features such as well-spaced keys and mobile DDR memory.

The Series includes the XG100 with Honeywell's Adaptus imaging technology and the XG105 with Motorola's SE965 high-performance laser scan engine. Janam's XG Series delivers superior performance and flexibility at a great price.
