Milestones

1989: the first product to hit the market was the DAT300, a ruggedized handheld computer featuring a removable secure memory module, something similar to today’s SD storage cards, 10 years before SD cards have been specified. The removable memory module was a key feature for meter reading applications helping utilities to easily exchange data in the field.

The DAT300 quickly became the leading product for utility meter reading in Italy and South America.

1994: 4P Mobile Data Processing was the first in the industry to introduce an ALL-IN-ONE handheld computer: a totally new design concept for multifunctional handheld computers.

The top-selling DAT400, featuring built-in impact printer for the fanfold paper (a unique feature in the market), barcode scanner, magnetic card reader, was adopted by many companies operating in the security parcel delivery and door to door sales. Its distinctive and unique handgrip with the screen on the bottom allowed easy and comfortable barcode scanning and key data entry using one hand only.

The DAT400 was the first handheld computer in the market featuring a built-in RFID interface to manage Mifare contactless cards for public transportation.

1998: the DAT500 was for the first time used on-board some major Airlines for in-flight duty-free sales. The DAT500 represented the natural evolution of the ALL-IN-ONE concept introduced by the DAT400, featuring several enhancements like a wide quarter VGA touch screen, a built-in thermal printer, PCMCIA slots, to immediately swap storage cards, 2D barcode scanner, magnetic and double smart card reader, WiFi and 2G cellular data connectivity.

Some North America airlines used it for over 15 years, demonstrating in the field its top reliability, sound design as well as 4P outstanding long term product support.

Since 1998 the DAT500 has being offered in several versions from the initial DOS platform to subsequent Windows CE 3.0 and 4.2 .NET.

NEW MILLENIUM: The FDA600 and FDA300 have completely renewed the 4P multifunctional ALL-IN-ONE handheld computer range, offering the first product in the market featuring an embedded certified EFTPOS for electronic payments (chip & pin) as well as the first ATEX intrinsically safe handheld computer for operations in hazardous areas.

The FDA600-POS is currently the leading ALL-IN-ONE palm computer for the door to door sales in Europe with embedded EFTPOS allowing on-line and off-line credit card and debit card payments.

2014: the FDA600-F was the first palmtop handheld fiscal cash register (ECR) with embedded EFTPOS to be certified in Italy as a payment terminal and fiscal cash register for totally mobile applications, like sales of food and beverage onboard trains.
