The Tri-band reader for the PPT8800 (Pocket PC 2003
versions with standard capacity battery only) attaches to the terminal using a standard
pistol grip accessory. The reader provides the Motorola™
PPT8800 with tri-band RFID functionality. The pistol
grip reader is powered from the Motorola™ terminal and
houses both the RFID reader and the forward facing
antennas. The Motorola™ PPT8800 retains the original laser
bar code functionality as well as the original
communications platform housed within the terminal. The
data output from the RFID reader may be simply
incorporated into a Pocket PC application using the
Software Development Kit (SDK). The pistol grip RFID
reader provides the ability to read and write to a wide
variety of transponders at all three of the common
frequency bands used in RFID (125kHz, 134 kHz and 13.56
MHz). Operation at all three RFID frequency bands
provides the user with the opportunity to invest in RFID
equipment that is compatible with all main frequency
bands
