Talk:Harris Corporation/Archives/2017

Hand Held Computer (HHC)
The above named article was nominated for deletion. A discussion was closed on 3 January 2016 with a consensus to merge the content into this article (Harris Corporation) and United States Census ASAP. Merge w/ the census article has occurred. Please consider assisting and discussing the merger with this articla. The following additions are suggested:
 * Security precautions.
 * The HHC was manufactured by Harris Corporation via a controversial contract with the Department of Commerce. Secured access via a fingerprint :swipe guaranteed that only the verified user had access to the unit. A GPS capacity was integral to the daily address management and the transfer of information that :was gathered. Of major importance was the security and integrity of the personal and private information of the populace.


 * Success and failure:
 * Enumerators (information gatherers) that had operational problems with the device understandably made negative reports. During the 2009 Senate confirmation hearings for :Robert Groves, President Obama's Census Director appointee, there was much mention of contracting problems but very little criticism of the units themselves.
 * In rural areas there was a problem with transmission of data to and from the HHC. Since the units were updated nightly with important changes and :reprogramming, operator :implementation of proper procedure was imperative. Dramatic dysfunction and delays were caused if the units were not put into sleep mode :overnight.

 * : this is pretty old but, I'd be willing to incorporate if you've a few more sources or other leads one could chase down which aren't listed in the prior AfD. Are you aware of any training/instruction manuals developed by the agency (not Harris) or photo-ops of device in use? -- dsprc   [talk]  03:40, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
 * See this Final Report from the Census bureau about Automation during the 2010 Census... . The specific Census-only HHC is mentioned throughout the report. See Appendix E for HHC pictures and specs.  Buster Seven   Talk  05:45, 11 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thanks! That should just about cover it. Neat device; with the price paid for this thing Census should have just used an iPAQ or Dell Axim with CDMA and GPS clip-on jacket. Tax-dollars at work... --  dsprc   [talk]  20:50, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
