Imagine setting up your computer network with no wires! RF has greatly expanded the number of portable data collection applications by allowing the users to be mobile with an untethered terminal. These terminals can be on-line allowing the host computer to be updated with real time data from each transaction. Many people ask: Is radio frequency data collection a cost effective solution for my application, or can batch data collection terminals meet my requirement? Questionnaires included in the workbook will assist in evaluating your requirements to answer this and other questions. This video training tape effectively takes the mystery out of wireless data collection networks. After reviewing several RF applications and their associated benefits, the discussion turns to the technical characteristics of radio frequency data communication. Graphics and animations are used to compare Narrow band and spread spectrum RF as well as direct sequence and frequency hopping technologies.
