Re: Recommendations for RF system

["Tom Jedrzejewicz @ San Pedro" <TJedrzejewicz@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You did not state the application -- manufacturing, warehouse
management, loading/receiving dock.

Probably the EASIEST way is to bypass the RF entirely, and get a
cordless scanner that is like a cordless phone.  I connects via a
keyboard wedge to a PC (or terminal).  You write the program to accept
the UPC# or other barcoded info, and use the cordless scanner like
another keyboard.  This is a great application for a loading or
receiving dock, because a PC or terminal is already nearby to do
transactions.  

one sample device

a good vendor is --  http://www.systemid.com/index3.asp

Tons of info on this site about setting up scanning, wireless scanning,
POS, etc.

Have fun.

Would like recommendations for companies that you have had good luck
(and price is right) in setting up a small (4 locations) RF scanning,
bar coding system.  Mainly need the harrdware and setup, application
programming will be handled in house.
