Handheld Adds eTicketing Capabilities to its Versatile ALGIZ RT7 Android Rugged Tablet

LIDKÖPING, Sweden, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

    Handheld Group [http://www.handheldgroup.com ], a leading manufacturer of rugged
mobile computers, today announced the Algiz RT7 eTicket, a new version of its popular
Algiz RT7 Android tablet that adds a specialized RFID reader so transit workers can use it
for mobile ticketing tasks.

    The Algiz RT7 eTicket offers the optimum combination of advanced functionality,
lightning-fast transaction speed, light weight, reliability and ruggedness for mobile
transit environments. The contactless electronic link between card and reader provides a
fast interface to handle a high volume of transactions.

    The integrated Arcontia smart card reader makes the Algiz RT7 eTicket a fast and
dependable tool for contactless payment collection. This powerful reader, compatible with
the entire MIFARE family, supports ISO/IEC and ISO14443 type A/B RFID tags/cards, and has
two integrated Secure Access Modules (SAM) for secure transactions.

This latest product continues Handheld Group's commitment to revolutionizing mobile fare
collection. Starting with the M3 eTicket and Nautiz eTicket series, the company has
developed increasingly feature-rich and powerful devices that retain Handheld's rugged
reliability.

    "Major transit agencies around the world have deployed our devices," says Johan Hed,
Handheld director of product management. "They've seen quick return on investment, because
using smart mobile devices streamlines what has traditionally been a slow, labor-intensive
process. Clients have reported completing more tasks, fewer riders evading the ticket
system, and increased fee revenues approaching 20 percent."

    Beyond its sophisticated RFID reader, the Algiz RT7 eTicket offers a wealth of other
capabilities. Google GMS certification allows access to the Google Play Store and Google
Maps. Its capacitive touchscreen has multi-touch capability, sunlight readability and
chemically strengthened glass. The Algiz RT7 eTicket includes an 8-megapixel camera and
multiple connectivity options. And it provides dual SIM card slots, an integrated GPS
receiver and a dedicated 2-D barcode imager.

    The Algiz RT7 eTicket combines power, ergonomics and ruggedness, with a Qualcomm
quad-core processor and an easy-to-hold design weighing just 660 grams. An IP65 rating
means it's waterproof and fully protected against sand and dust. It also meets stringent
MIL-STD-810G standards against extreme temperatures, drops and vibrations.

    Handheld will be offering Webinars for potential users to learn more about the Algiz
RT7 eTicket. See http://www.handheldgroup.com/Webinar-eTicketing for details.

    The Algiz RT7 eTicket is available to order.
