CipherLab (www.cipherlab.com), a leading innovator in Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC) for the retail, warehouse and distribution markets, today announced that its 9600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer has won a 2010 Product Innovation Award. This annual competition by Network Products Guide, a Silicon Valley technology research and advisory guide, recognizes groundbreaking products by some of the world's largest companies that set the bar higher in all areas of information technology.

The CipherLab 9600 Series Industrial Mobile Computer was chosen as a winner in the mobile solution category because it enables retailers and field sales, service and logistics employees to go to where the work takes place. The 9600 helps employees easily and reliably scan and update inventory, take orders, capture signatures or photographs, and send replenishment data across the room or around the world. Since it comes with integrated GPS, WWAN, WPAN and WLAN access, it's usable in the field, on the retail floor or at the warehouse - keeping employees constantly connected and productive.

"Innovation is not just about new products alone, it's about companies putting greater focus on customer needs," said Rake Narang, editor-in-chief at Network Products Guide. "CipherLab's 9600 improves mobile access and data entry methods, making workers more efficient so they can achieve more in less time."

"Network Products Guide's recognition of the 9600 is further evidence that it is by far the most advanced mobile computer, setting industry standards for mobile access and data entry methods, usability and ruggedness," said CipherLab's Steve Pergantis. "Product innovation is key to our continued commitment to meeting our customers' needs and providing them with better solutions."
