Repair & Maintenance End-of-life for Intermec T2425 in 2009?

Filed under: Barcode Scanner Repair, Barcode Scanner Business, intermec, Announcements

We're starting to hear from various people in the barcode equipment business that the Intermec T2425, aka the Intermec "Trakker" or "Antares" portable barcode scanner will no longer be serviced by the manufacturer after the end of this year.  We have also heard that this "service end-of-life" will extend to some other members of the same Intermec product family including the Intermec T2410, Intermec T2415, Intermec T2420, Intermec T2455, Intermec T2480, Intermec T2485, and Intermec T2486.

These handheld, fixed, and truck-mount barcode data collectors have in many ways set the standard for the durable, mobile enterprise-quality terminals of today like the Symbol Technologies (now Motorola) MC9090 or MC9060.  Many of the Intermec T2425 RF terminals or T2420 Batch terminals and the T2455 truck-mounts placed into service more than ten years ago are still providing reliable, faithful service today.  These terminals were (and still are) true industrial-strength specimens - no wonder they're still ticking.  Intermec's design has stood the test of time.

Lexicon intends to continue to repair, service, and maintain these great Intermec barcode scanning terminals.

HOWEVER, like we said at the top of this post -- we've only heard this info informally.  If anyone has additional facts, details or corrections, please comment (there's a link at the beginning and end of the post) and we'll get the post updated.  Thanks in advance.
