Signals Commitment to Automatic
Identification and Mobile Solutions
Horsham, PA – September 1, 2005 -Two
Technologies, Inc. announced it has
joined AIM Global, the association
for Automatic Identification and
Mobility and the voice of
technologies such as bar code, RFID,
and enterprise mobile computing. As
a member of AIM Global, Two
Technologies conveys its commitment
to the growth of automatic
identification and mobility
solutions through industry standards
development, advocacy and the
support of a global channel network.
“AIM
Global’s commitment toward the
adoption of AIDC technologies in the
mobile market is synergistic with
Two Technologies’ leadership role in
the hardware solutions we provide
with such products as the JETT®•RFID+,”
says Eric Eckstein, Vice President
of Strategic Planning at Two
Technologies. “Two Technologies
views this new partnership with
great anticipation toward the
development of new hardware
technologies in Automatic
Identification and Mobility

RFID Software Designed Radio (SDR)
technology developed by Two
Technologies provides easy software
based upgrading of the unit as RFID
Tag protocols change or new ones are
developed. A few of the protocols
supported are ISO15693, ISO14446A,
ISO14446B and ISO 18000-3 as
delivered from all major
manufactures of inlays and tags.
JETT•RFID+ also incorporates an
innovative unique adjustable antenna
which allows for reading of 13.56MHz
tags in virtually any orientation.
This innovation alleviates the
issues with HF RFID tag orientation
in many applications, including
supply chain, payment collection,
library systems, security and
electronic access control markets.
Two

a unique and seamless fit for a multitude of complex and varied
applications. This level of complete product customization is
unprecedented in the hand held computer market.
The JETT•RFID+ is an ideal solution to meet the complex and varied
requirements of a wide range of applications where a rugged hand
held computer is needed, such as: warehousing, fleet manaGEMent,
mobile payment, transportation, field service, meter reading, time
and attendance, emergency vehicles, machine control, and inventory
control.

Two Technologies, Inc. obtains IP65
rating for the JETT®•ce
and JETT®•RFID
hand-held computers |
|
Horsham, Pennsylvania, February 28,
2005 – Two Technologies, Inc., an ISO9001 registered company and
leading manufacturer of customizable rugged hand-held terminal and
computer products, is pleased to announce that its JETT®•ce
and JETT®•RFID line of hand-held computers are now
available tested to an IP65 rating.
The ingress protection (IP) rating,
defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission in
publication IEC 529, is a two digit, standardized scale that
indicates the extent to which equipment is protected against the
invasion of dust and water. The first number of the rating indicates
the degree of protection from solids and the second against liquids.
The higher the number, the more protected the equipment is.
An IP65 rating means that both the
JETT®•ce and the JETT®•RFID are completely dust-tight and can
withstand exposure to jets of water. “We have subjected the JETT®•ce
and JETT®•RFID to the most rigorous and extreme test environments,”
said Russ Maynard, Vice President of Applications Development. “By
achieving the IP65 rating, we are demonstrating Two Technologies, Inc.’
commitment to delivering robust, affordable hand-held computers to
our customers.” |
