Getac PS236 Rugged PDA Adds RFID Capabilities

The new functionality on the PS236 rugged PDA enables real-time asset management. This unit’s IP67 and MIL-STD-810G ratings and ATEX certification, make it ideal for use in extreme environments where cutting-edge asset tracking is business critical. 

“The new capability allows users to input information from multiple types of HF RFID tags – a technology that is being adopted more and more across the oil and gas sectors,” says James Hwang, president of Getac Technology Corporation.

“Users can simply insert the certified RFID SDIO card into the handheld’s SDIO card slot, and the unit then becomes a one-stop asset management solution.”
