What is the MW800 Mobile Workstation?

The Motorola Mobile Workstation 800 series is Motorola's highest-performing and
most rugged data communication and computing solution. It is specifically designed
for the harsh conditions of the mobile environment-areas not suitable for
conventional laptop or desktop computers.
The MW800 consists of three separate interconnected components: CPU, Display
and Keyboard and can be mounted in dual airbag-equipped vehicles. Using custom-
designed cable adapters, the CPU can be connected to the MW800 displays or any
rd
3 -party LCD, CRT or Flat Screen display. Each component can also be used as a
standalone product.
The MW800 design provides:
• Sealed housing
• Protection against extremely high and low temperatures: automatic heating
when temperature drops below freezing point; automatic heat reducing
measures when temperature exceeds high operational limit
• Protection against extreme shock and vibration
• Withstanding cranking conditions
• Easy access to Personal Card (PC) and Radio Subscriber Identity Module
(SIM) card
