Blackburn Borough Council need a rugged PDA with a battery life of more than six hours and excellent screen visibility and selected the M3 Rugged PDA.

Newcastle City Council. Its Environment and Regeneration Directorate has invested in Motorola MC35 Enterprise Digital Assistants. These work on a message-based system that sends, receives, deletes and updates jobs in real time. Job requirements are collected by the directorate’s call centre and then allocated to operatives via the Works Management System which then dispatches them to the hand held units.

Oldham Council uses the Gotive H42 Wireless Enterprise Communicators for street surveyors who had been
carrying out surveys using paper documents. As a result,
the information had to be typed up in the office afterwards.

Wakefield and District Housing wanted greater control over its many mobile devices, it selected MobiControl, a mobile device management solution developed by SOTI Inc.
