LXE’s RFID-Enabled, EPC-Compliant Rugged Handheld Computer Now Shipping
MX3-RFID Wireless Computer Capable of Reading Both Barcodes & Class 0 & Class 1 EPC RFID Tags
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) November 29, 2004 -- LXE Inc., a leading manufacturer of
rugged wireless computing solutions that improve the performance of supply-chain
execution applications, and an EPCglobal member, today announced that the
“RFID-enabled” rugged handheld computer, the MX3-RFID, is now shipping. The
innovative MX3-RFID is based on LXE’s highly successful and field-proven MX3
horizontal half-screen wireless computer.
The mobile handheld unit is
capable of reading both barcodes and EPC-compliant RFID tags. It gives you the
flexibility to use one unit for both traditional bar code-based data collection
applications and RFID applications. With the MX3-RFID, support and training
costs are minimized, because system administrators have to support only one
computer type, and operators have to learn only one device.
The unit
includes an EPC-compliant, class 0 (read only) and class 1 (write once, read
many) tag reader. The unit’s firmware is also Gen 2 field upgradeable so you
won’t have to buy new hardware or even take the units out of the field when you
upgrade to the new standard.
The MX3-RFID runs the Windows® CE .NET
operating system, and of course the MX3-RFID is LXE rugged. The tag reader and
RFID antenna are fully protected in a very low-profile enclosure in the rear of
the unit - so you won’t have to worry about damaging fragile external RFID
antennas.
You can easily control what’s being read by the MX3-RFID with
the unit’s user-controlled “read range” (RF power setting).
API’s are
also available for easier application development. And the MX3RFID includes
“keyboard wedge” software that places valid EPC data directly into the keyboard
buffer so that any off-the-shelf application can access the data without complex
development.
Transitioning from barcode read mode to RFID-tag read mode
is effortless - press the left scan button to scan barcodes and the right scan
button for RFID tags. And you can use the unit for a full eight-hour shift
without having to disrupt work to change the unit’s battery.
As always,
the MX3-RFID is supported by LXE’s award-winning Customer Support team, winners
of the Mobile Star Award™ for best customer satisfaction in mobile hardware for
the third consecutive year.
