Where are mobile UHF Readers required?
• Stock takes – perform full store inventory many
times more quickly than having to find and read
each item level barcode.
• Retail at front / back of store – verify goods
inwards match paperwork, quickly find items to
allow front of store to be replenished, find mis-shelved
items in front of store.
• Asset management – rapid inventory of assets,
storing maintenance/inspection records on the
asset where WAN connectivity is not guaranteed.

Where are mobile UHF Readers required?
• Distribution – reading/writing data to tags on
pallets and roll cages before loading onto vehicles.
• Document tracking – use ‘find-a-tag’ mode to
locate a folder. Manage document check in /
check out.
• Exception scanning – where an item cannot for
some reason be read by standard fixed / portal
readers. Maybe it is too bulky, or the tag is too
small.

A few limitations of current mobile UHF RFID reader devices
• End Users have to buy the reader and handheld together. When
one is obsolete both must be replaced.
• Existing handheld mobile computers are no longer any use and
must be thrown away when new mobile readers are purchased
• Incompatible with BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and BYOP (Bring
Your Own Phone) schemes.
• Performance constraints – read range, read rate, tag singulation,
write performance, battery life (run time) etc
• Choice of mobile device operating system / user interface is
limited to whatever the mobile reader offers. This may not match what
the end user wants.
• In situations where the majority of the mobile device usage is not for
RFID the user can end up with an unnecessarily large and
cumbersome dual technology handheld.

Why the 1128 Bluetooth® UHF RFID
Reader is Different!

What makes the 1128 Bluetooth® UHF RFID Reader different?
• Works with ANY Bluetooth host device
• any device with standard Bluetooth SPP
• wide range of host terminals are supported
• Modular design allows you to configure the hardware
for your specific requirements
• Keep your installed base of handheld terminals
• Use low cost host consumer devices such as iPod
Touch and cheap Android phones
• BYOD and BYOP now possible to provide high
performance UHF RFID
• Even stronger ROI when not replacing existing
handheld devices!

Use with your choice of host device – phone, tablet, PC
• Compatible with any Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled host device
