Intermec’s expertise in real-world RFID

implementations, combined with its

knowledge about building rugged handheld

devices, is reﬂected in the IP4 reader, an

accessory handle for attachment to the

popular Intermec® 700 Series Color mobile

computers. The IP4 delivers ﬁrst-of-its-

kind capability by combining the power

of a handheld mobile computing device

equipped with PAN, LAN and WAN radios

as well as a multi-protocol RFID radio that

can be used worldwide.

Users of the 700 Series Color mobile

computers have posted productivity gains

and enjoyed application ﬂexibility enabled

by the three radios – personal area (PAN)

or *Bluetooth®, local area (LAN) and wide

area (WAN) – as well as the area and linear

imagers integrated into the handheld

device. Combining those capabilities with

the IP4 and the strength of the Microsoft®

Pocket PC platform gives users a high

performance mobile RFID solution.

With an RFID radio that is software

conﬁgurable, the IP4 can function in a

multi-protocol environment that includes

current ISO 18000-6b, EPC UHF Generation

2 (Gen 2) and ISO 18000-6c standards.

While unmanned RFID data capture

solutions are designed to eliminate human

intervention and line of sight restrictions in

data collection applications, there is always

a need for exception-based scanning. The

IP4 and 700 Series in tandem deliver a truly

mobile RFID solution. It allows the user to

take the technology to the work – whether

it’s on the shop ﬂoor, the store ﬂoor or the

receiving dock, whenever it’s more practical

to bring the read/write device to the tagged

object rather than moving tagged objects

passed a ﬁxed reader.

The IP4 allows users to take full advantage

of the distributed mobile data carrier

capability inherent in Gen 2 and ISO

18000-6c tags. With the IP4, data such

as origin, destination, “use by” date,

warranty, service or repair history can be

easily updated on the tag and therefore

always traveling with the tagged item. The

mobility and convenient size of the IP4

allows users to update tag data on items

during work-in-process tasks without

leaving their workstation.
