“Port operators need fast, reliable and rugged intermodal logistics solutions that can withstand the continually changing conditions of the outdoor environment,” says Stephen Newell, general manager. “LXE’s newest handheld computer was built with the port customers’ needs in mind. LXE has spent a great deal of time working with its port operator customers to ensure that its products meet the customer’s needs.”
