SPOKANE, Wash., Jul 27, 1999 (BUSINESS WIRE via COMTEX) --
Itronix X-C 6250 Leverages ADP and BellSouth Wireless Data Technology
to Offer Insurance Adjusters Increased Productivity
Itronix Corporation, a world leader in the design and manufacture of
ruggedized, wireless mobile computing solutions for field automation,
today announced that it has completed the industry's first wireless
mobile computing solution for the Country Companies(R) Insurance Group,
a leading insurance provider for urban and rural families.
The solution was developed to provide front-line adjusters with 150
Itronix X-C 6250 wireless mobile notebooks, featuring an integrated
BellSouth Wireless Data radio and ADP Claims Solutions Group's (CSG)
Claimsflo(TM) Wireless application.
"In the past, insurance appraisers have been required to travel back to
their offices to download or upload data. Today, with the joint
solution between Itronix, ADP and BellSouth Wireless Data, insurance
companies can transmit assignments to their remote field appraisers,"
said Matt Gerber, vice president of marketing for Itronix. "The X-C
6250 solution also gives insurance companies greater assurance that
assignments are transmitted securely and quickly."
The Itronix X-C 6250 units feature an integrated radio frequency
antenna, as well ADP CSG's PenPro(TM) estimating software and wireless
application and BellSouth Wireless Data's wireless radio. With these
cutting-edge wireless capabilities, field adjusters are able to bypass
traditional modem and phone line connections to send and receive
assignments, estimates, images, total loss evaluations and other
information quickly and securely.
"The insurance industry is highly competitive and the Country Companies
are constantly looking for solutions to provide an edge to our
customers," said Joe Painter, director of property and casualty claims
for Country Companies. "By empowering our field adjusters with this
innovative mobile estimating system, Country Companies will be able to
provide better, more efficient service to our customers."

including temperatures from -4(Degree)F to 140(Degree)F (-20(Degree)C
to 60(Degree)C). Dirt and moisture are sealed out to protect sensitive
internal components. The X-C 6250 is equipped with a 200MHz processor
