Spec Sheet
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.
