You can enter data into the JANUS 2050 using the keypad or a laser scanner.
The JANUS 2050 transmits this data to the base radio unit. From there, the data
is communicated to a network controller that is connected to a host computer.
Data may also be transmitted from the host computer to the JANUS 2050 using
the same path.

One of the major benefits of the JANUS 2050 is that you can transmit data as
soon as it is collected. Without radio frequency (RF) capability, a portable data
collection device must store the collected data until the device can be physically
connected to the host by a cable, modem, or communications dock. With RF,
the JANUS 2050 continuously transmits data to the host as it is collected. This
feature reduces data collection time considerably.
