LXE's MX3-RFID rugged handheld gets 96-bit tag support, other upgrades

Alanta, April 4, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- LXE today announced several significant software upgrades to its RFID-enabled rugged handheld computer, the MX3-RFID.

The wireless computer's RFID reader firmware has been upgraded so that customers can now meet retailer requests for 96-bit tag support. The new software will also enable customers to upgrade the MX3-RFID to the EPC Gen2 UHF specification, according to LXE.

LXE has also added the option for customers to translate reader output in either HEX format or EPC Tag Data Standard format. With the EPC Tag Data Standard option, operators can see, on the MX3-RFID's screen, tag/product details, which simplify the exception handling and verification process. Supported formats include SGTIN-64, SGTIN-96, SSCC-64 and SSCC-96.

Another new capability lets customers specify masks and filters when reading tags, providing operators the means to quickly find specific cases on a fully loaded pallet that meet the "filter" criteria entered into the unit, such as for product tracking and recalls.
