QSI Announces Availability of the TREQ™ Mobile Data Terminal Running Windows® CE 5.0
ADDENDUM
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. 24 May 2006. At QSI, we are committed to the highest standards of quality for all of our products. During continuing environmental testing of the TREQ™ mobile data terminal, we have identified some key components that require changes to meet our stringent environmental standards. Unfortunately, our engineers are currently engaged in various custom terminal projects and will not be free to perform this work for several months. We will therefore not be accepting any new orders for TREQ units until 1 January 2007. TREQ Developer's Kits are available for customers who wish to develop software for the TREQ. The kit includes a functional TREQ terminal, but it does not fully meet all of our environmental specifications. We apologize for any negative impact this may have on your business, and we hope to be able to work with you in the future.
