QSI Offers Mobile Data Terminals with Support for ORBCOMM Serial Interface.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH and DULLES, VIRGINIA. September 2005. QSI Corporation, manufacturer of rugged operator interface and mobile data terminals, and ORBCOMM, provider of global two-way messaging, data communications, and geo-positioning services, announce support for the ORBCOMM serial interface on QSI's popular line of mobile data terminals running Qlarity™ object-based software.

QSI Corporation's Qlarity line of intelligent mobile data terminals are designed for today's rugged vehicle environments. QSI's vehicle terminals feature Ethernet-enabled color touch screen terminals, rugged handheld graphic terminals and small economical graphic terminals. These mobile data terminals use an object-based programming environment named Qlarity (pronounced Clarity). Designing a simple control panel interface or a complete stand-alone application has never been easier. The ability to use pre-defined objects, edit existing objects or author your own objects provides flexibility to the novice and expert alike. Qlarity Foundry™, a PC-based design tool, provides a Windows® environment for screen creation, application simulation, debugging and downloading to the Qlarity-based terminal.

ORBCOMM users can now create their own custom communication applications quickly and easily using the custom ORBCOMM library of objects included in Qlarity 2.4. These custom applications can then be run on any of QSI's Qlarity-based mobile data terminals, including the VTERM-G55, VTERM-G70, VTERM-G75 and QTERM-Z60 by connecting them directly to an ORBCOMM-supported modem.

"QSI brings real value to ORBCOMM users," says Marc Eisenberg, ORBCOMM's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "By including support for ORBCOMM protocols, QSI offers our customers a variety of user interface options they have not had in the past."

"Including support for ORBCOMM with our Qlarity-based terminals helps us promote our vision of being the supplier of choice for operator interface and mobile data terminals," adds Jim Elwell, QSI's President. "We have been manufacturing high-quality, rugged mobile data terminals for many years, and now we've made it very easy for ORBCOMM's customers to include them as part of their systems."

Support for the ORBCOMM serial interface will be officially released as part of Qlarity 2.4, but a pre-release version is already available to engineers, system integrators, ORBCOMM VARS and customers to begin creating custom ORBCOMM-enabled applications immediately.

QSI Graphical Operator Interface to be Employed in Lobster / Aquaculture Industry.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. September 2005. QSI Corporation, manufacturer of rugged operator interface and mobile data terminals, has recently been selected by Know Tech Environmental, Inc. to provide human machine interface (HMI) equipment for Know Tech Environmental's lobster / aquaculture products.

QSI Corporation's QTERM-G70 rugged operator interface terminal will be used in Know Tech Environmental's Tally Ho! Weighmeister, a machine is designed for styro-packing operations that efficiently records the weight of boxes of lobsters and produces printed shipping manifests for each order. The QTERM-G70 graphic terminal will also be used in the Visual Sorter, an innovative product simplifying lobster grading based on color.

QSI's QTERM-G70 is a rugged, Ethernet-enabled graphic operator interface terminal using a touch screen to interface with the user. This rugged terminal features a robust list of industrial-grade hardware features and options including a 320x240 lighted graphic LCD display (color or grayscale); 100Base-T Ethernet with TCP/IP support; touch screen with optional PS/2 keyboard connection; EIA-232, -422 or -485 serial interface; and 4 Mbytes Flash / 16 Mbytes RAM. The QTERM-G70 graphic terminal is ruggedized for use in harsh industrial environments and is NEMA-4 rated and CE certified.

The QTERM-G70 uses an object-based graphic terminal programming language called Qlarity™ (pronounced Clarity). Designing a simple control panel interface or a complete stand-alone application has never been easier. The ability to use pre-defined objects, edit existing objects or author your own objects provides flexibility to the novice and expert alike. Qlarity Foundry™ , a PC-based design tool, provides a Windows® environment for screen creation, application simulation, debugging and downloading to the QTERM-G70 terminal.

"We're excited about working with Know Tech because they produce innovative products that address challenges in the lobster/aquaculture industry," said Karen Stanley, Sales Manager for QSI. "QSI is proud to be part of this project and the outstanding family of products by Know Tech."

"We believe our new lobster packing and grading products represent break-through advances in the highly competitive lobster processing industry", says James Shand, President of Know Tech Environmental, Inc. "The QSI QTERM-G70 terminal and Qlarity provided a great platform for building our industrial applications. The cold, seawater-drenched operating environment has been a real challenge and the QTERM-G70 has performed flawlessly. Our customers especially appreciate the colorful graphic capabilities and the built-in touch screen interface."
