03 / What is it?

What Is an RFID Handheld Terminal?

An RFID handheld terminal is a mobile computer that is carried in the hand and can read UHF RFID tags from a distance. Unlike fixed readers, the operator walks around the warehouse, the sales floor or the field with the device; when it is brought close to tagged products, their EPC codes are read within seconds. While each item has to be scanned individually with barcodes, RFID scans an entire shelf or pallet in one go.

Unique ID’s I-Hand C66 is a platform open to software development, with a Qualcomm octa-core processor and the Android operating system. It comes with 3 GB + 32 GB or 4 GB + 64 GB memory options and can be expanded with a Micro SD card of up to 128 GB. On the UHF side there are two configurations: a UHF back clip and UHF sled on the Android 9 model, and a built-in UHF option on the Android 11 model. The modules comply with the RAIN RFID standard.

Weighing 287 grams and with an operating range of -20 to +50 °C, the device is suited to harsh warehouse and field environments. With 4G, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity, it connects quickly to data collection applications.
