Cathexis Innovations Inc., a leader in RFID-enabling technologies, and Baracoda SA, which is at the forefront of Bluetooth wireless technology, announced today that they have developed and launched the beta version of the first handheld Bluetooth 13.56MHz RFID Reader, dubbed IDBlue™. The two companies have chosen a pen-type design for IDBlue™ that is revolutionary, given the device’s size, ease of use and versatility.
The design and shape of the IDBlue™ device — similar to a marker-pen — differentiate it from typical RFID handhelds readers (with ‘RFID’ standing for ‘Radio Frequency Identification’), making it truly innovative thanks to its size (small and lightweight) as well as its ease and flexibility of use. Indeed, IDBlue™ is compatible with a range of machines, from PDAs to PCs.
