ESRI International User Conference |
|
|
|
ESRI International User Conference, was held on August 7 - 12, 2006 at San Diego
Convention Center, San Diego, CA. This conference is the largest GIS event of the
year and a great opportunity to network with GIS and IT professionals from around
the world.
Environmental Systems Research Institute is one of the world's largest Geographical
Information Systems (GIS) software providers. The ESRI International Users Group
is the user meeting, symposium and tradeshow all rolled into one in beautiful San
Diego, CA. With over 15,000 attendees, this is the biggest show Radix attends each
year. This year we exhibited our ultra-rugged mobile computers that are ideal for
the GIS/GPS market space.
Radix introduced the FW900 handheld computer and the FW1000 pen tablet with GPS
capabilities. These products were met with rave reviews by the attendees of the
show. Radix was the only manufacturer that actually dropped its equipment into a
water tank to demonstrate our outdoor capabilities. We pleasantly surprised GIS,
GPS and other outdoor mobile computer users looking for ultra-rugged products for
their working environment.
