Multispectral Solutions Releases UWB-based Handheld RFID Reader.

GERMANTOWN, Md. -- Multispectral Solutions, Inc. (MSSI), a leading provider of ultra wideband (UWB) systems, has introduced the newest entry in its Sapphire RFID/RTLS product line, the VISION Mobile Tag Reader (V652M). The V652M is a ruggedized, handheld version of MSSI's VISION V652 wall/ceiling-mounted reader introduced last December, and is fully compatible with all Sapphire family tags.

Like its fixed infrastructure counterpart, the V652M brings another dimension to inventory identification and visibility - 100% reads, adjustable read ranges, an update rate of over 2000 tags per second, superb performance in industrial multipath environments and full mobility. The V652M consists of a handheld, battery operated, ruggedized mobile computer with a plug-in UWB receiver module. The computer runs Microsoft[R] Windows[R] CE .NET and measures 11.4 x 4.75 x 3 inches. The UWB module, with integrated antenna, measures 5 x 3 x 1 inches and simply plugs into the computer's peripheral interface.

The V652M includes software to save, report and search tag data and to configure the read range of the reader (from 3 to 600 feet) for specialized applications. An Application Programming Interface (API) is available which provides unlimited flexibility for advanced, user-specific applications.

Shipments of the Sapphire VISION Mobile Tag Reader V652M are scheduled to begin Q2 of 2007.
