Chapter 1 Getting Started

Introduction

The CA10 is a compact Push-to-Talk over wireless LAN (PoWLAN) communications device designed to operate
throughout the wireless local area network of your enterprise environment. You can use the CA10 as you would
any normal Push-to-Talk radio. The CA10 enables instant employee accessibility through a simultaneous call to a
group of workers and a person-to-person reply call from a group member. The CA10 solution can communicate
with other Motorola mobile computers and enterprise devices communicating over Wi-Fi.
The CA10 can be clipped onto clothing, worn on a lanyard, or slipped inside a pocket and can be deployed either
as a personal or shared device. In environments where workers change shifts daily, an employee can select any
available CA10.
The CA10 solution includes a Deployment and Configuration application. The application uses a personal
computer based program for configuring, monitoring and maintaining the CA10 units.
