TERTIUM Technology And CAEN RFID Present RFID UHF In Their New Range Of Bluepalm M Series Handheld Terminals

The new BluePalm M series handhelds are now available. Our emphasis on finding the most functional technological solutions using the most up to date manufacturing processes has resulted in a range of state of the art products, which are unique in their ease of use and effectiveness.

The BluePalm M series products are a range of terminals designed for manual gathering of data from a range of media. Its price, noticeably lower than similar products on the market, has not prevented TERTIUM Technology from providing these handhelds with a number of unique features:

  • Skim touch "Touchless" keyboard with a very smooth telephonic layout, very easy to clean and disinfect (making it particularly suitable for use in healthcare environments)
  • A keyboard that can be personalised by brand name, colour, symbols and key layout

In addition to its ability to gather data from barcodes and/or RFID, the BluePalm M series handhelds are able to read sensors thanks to their radio interface with ULPW IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee) or with the ZeroPowerWireless reader.

All BluePalm M series handhelds come with the following features as standard:

  • Replaceable battery pack
  • Latest model of Li-lon long-life batteries, which can be recharged at any time without loss of time
  • Fully upgradable either at point of manufacture or as part of routine maintenance with Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GSM/GPRS/GPS amongst others.

Their flexibility is enhanced by the software development tool (C Language and ad improved HAL library), supplied free of charge, by means of which it is possible to simulate and debug the terminal via a PC.

Marco Consani, Managing Director of TERTIUM Technology explains: "The BluePalm M series terminals are the result of our drive to provide technologically state of the art instruments and are a step forward in advancing their ease of use and productivity. The UHF integration of CAEN RFID modules is a big step forward for our product range, adding new functionality to existing technology in a sector which is already at the cutting edge".

Giovanni Grieco, Sales and Marketing Director of CAEN RFID adds: "Their ease of use and unique features make our OEM modules a winning factor for TERTIUM Technology in RFID applications. The BluePalm is only the first example of our collaboration with TERTIUM Technology, a collaboration which heralds the introduction in the future of new products incorporating UHF technology from CAEN RFID".

TERTIUM Technology is a dynamic Italian company involved in the production and engineering of micro-controlled electronic devices. Founded in 2001, the company has always had the objective of making its clients more productive and efficient by means of the ease and speed of use which distinguish its products from the range of technology currently available. TERTIUM Technology specialises in exploiting RFID, Ultra Low Power Wireless (ULPW), Zero Power Wireless (ZPW) and Embedded Connectivity technologies for a range of solutions.

CAEN RFID is a leading Italian company in the design and production of RFID UHF readers and tags. CAEN RFID was the first company in Europe to produce and distribute UHF readers. Its active involvement in the EPC Global, AIM Europe and ETSI work groups have allowed it to provide RFID readers and tags which are in the vanguard of existing technology. Amongst these the EASY2READ© readers/writers have been designed to permit the use of one single identification technology for reading either at close range or at a range of several metres; the EASY2TAG© tag, a passive UHF tag, has been designed for use on metal (for example in the identification of freight cars and lorries) and the semipassive EASY2LOG© tag can be used for the monitoring and recording of temperatures of perishable products in transit (such as food or chemical/pharmaceutical products in cold storage).
