Zebra has introduced the next generation of the versatile MC3000 family of mobile computers, the Zebra MC3300x. The MC3300x provides more of all the essentials you need to meet the challenges of the modern warehouse environment — increased power, an even more rugged construction, and additional features.

The MC3300x offers a purposeful ergonomic design which includes 4 form factors, several keypad options, and a bright touch-sensitive display. With so many choices, CSSI can work with you to select the optimal configuration for your needs.

Why Choose the Zebra MC3300x?
1. Zebra’s most powerful Android architecture
2. Proven fit-for-purpose ergonomics (now even more rugged!)
3. More ways to capture more kinds of data
4. Triple-shift battery power boost productivity
5. Compatible with MC33xx accessories you have today

The MC3300x is built with Zebra’s latest Android architecture, including a faster SD660 octa-core 2.2 GHz processor, more standard memory (4 GB RAM/32 GB Flash on every model), and delivers superior performance on all of your voice and data applications.

Just as exciting, the MC3300x is even more rugged than the original MC3300! The drop specification has been increased to 6 ft., and the tumble spec tripled to 3,000 3.3 ft. tumbles. Further, sealing increased from IP54 to IP64, making the MC3300x dustproof.

You’ll love great data capture features, with one new scan engine. The SE4770 standard range 1D/2D scan engine offers an intuitive illumination field for easy aiming, providing a superior user experience in the most scan intensive applications.

Running a multi-shift operation? With the MC3300x you’ll have fewer interruptions to swap batteries — it has 35% more capacity, sufficient to power three shifts.

Wireless connectivity has also improved. 2×2 Multiple-User Multiple Input Multiple Output (MU-MIMO) delivers maximum WiFi range and speed for better, more robust connections. Bluetooth 5.0 provides twice the speed and four times the range of the prior generation MC3300, improving the performance of peripherals, such as headsets, printers and more. And since the new WiFi and Bluetooth technologies use less power, more battery life is preserved.

The MC3300x runs on Android 10, the most powerful version of Android yet. This makes it easier to use and even more secure, with over 50+ new security and privacy improvements.

And Zebra’s Mobility DNA and LifeGuard™ for Android™ put the MC3300x in a class of its own. Over 17 value-added Mobility DNA tools boost workforce productivity, simplify device management and improve device performance. And LifeGuard offers up to eight years of security updates, end-to-end remote control of the OS update process through your supported EMM, plus built-in support for the next version of Android.

CSSI is please to relay the following release from the SEDA-Council of Governments (SEDA-COG):

LEWISBURG – Apr. 30, 2020 – In a time when businesses are struggling to survive because of the COVID-19 pandemic, CSSI Technologies Inc. is expanding their business to selling to the government in partnership with SEDA-Council of Governments (SEDA-COG).

The Lewisburg-based mobile computing hardware and software company recently secured a 3-year contract of $18,472 to sell software to the Philadelphia-based office of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

The software, “Bartender,” is used for designing, printing, and managing barcodes, RFID tags and documents. It is the best-in-class software that allows companies to design and manage their barcode labels.

SEDA-COG worked with CSSI so they can sell to the state and federal governments, involving multiple registration processes, certifications, trainings, and bid notifications. This included obtaining a PA COSTARS and PA Invitation to Qualify contract, which will position CSSI to sell to local and state government agencies.

CSSI President Joe Tosolt said SEDA-COG made the process simple for them and described it as a big “win” in these tumultuous times.

“SEDA-COG spent a lot of time helping us through this process,” Tosolt said. “Particularly in this era right now, when COVID is causing havoc on businesses, having another source of sales is essential.”

Tosolt said Robert Brown, director of SEDA-COG’s Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), was quick to respond to their needs and expertly guided them through the process.

“Trying to get into government contracting from the outside is not intuitive and Rob provided a lot of guidance. He has been extremely responsive to us. It would have been very difficult to navigate it otherwise. We’re thankful for support and help and responsiveness from SEDA-COG especially in this time,” Tosolt said.

Brown said SEDA-COG, as a community and economic development agency, empowers businesses to prosper – and that many businesses aren’t aware that selling to the government is the nation’s largest marketplace.

“Businesses have a great opportunity to expand and diversify their sales by partnering with us to sell to the government. Each year, the federal government alone purchases over $400 billion in products and services from businesses. We can help your business tap into that opportunity,” Brown said.

Serving the Mid-Atlantic region with a staff of 12, CSSI powers business productivity with the smart integration of mobile computing, barcoding/RFID, and customized business software. They specialize in working closely with each customer to create high-impact solutions in demanding environments such as warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, transportation, and logistics.

“CSSI powers productivity by applying technology tools to make businesses more efficient and productive. We do everything from process consulting to custom programming to integration so that our customers get the maximum bang out of their investment,” Tosolt said.

SEDA-COG’s PTAC helps companies explore and compete in the local, state, and federal government marketplace. For more information about the SEDA-COG PTAC, visit www.seda-cog.org/ptac/ or contact Brown at rbrown@seda-cog.org.

The PTAC is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the Defense Logistics Agency and by a grant through the Partnerships for Regional Economic Performance (PREP), from the PA Department of Community and Economic Development.
