"Research indicates a steady increase of Linux adoption for the third straight year," said Todd Blumer, President of SDG Systems, citing the Linux Foundation 2013 Enterprise End User Report. "While the report focuses primarily on Linux servers, the implications for mobile enterprise devices are equally exciting. We are pleased to enable Janam to offer the XG Series with Linux and look forward to a growing relationship."

"Linux is a fully customizable, auditable and controllable software platform," said Harry B. Lerner, CEO of Janam.  "The ability to customize it makes Linux a highly appealing alternative to bundled commercial systems, particularly for retailers, manufacturers and government agencies.  With Janam's rugged XG Series mobile computer, businesses that rely on Linux servers for mission critical workloads can now seamlessly extend the benefits of that OS to their mobile operations."

Janam's XG Series was designed for scan-intensive, extended shift use in demanding environments.  With its battery in the handle, the XG Series line of products is incomparably light and balanced in the hand.  It offers industrial-quality construction and efficiency-enhancing features such as well-spaced keys and mobile DDR memory.  The Series includes the XG100 with Honeywell's Adaptus® imaging technology and the XG105 with Motorola's SE965 high-performance laser scan engine.  Janam's XG Series delivers superior performance and flexibility at a great price.
