could be sirit? ATLANTA, Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- 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(R) 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 MX3-
RFID 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(TM) for best customer satisfaction in
mobile hardware for the third consecutive year.
