... "Savi Technology and Intermec Technologies Corporation, two long-time, leading providers of real-time supply chain solutions for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), introduced a new active RFID reader system designed specifically to read bar codes and active radio frequency identification (RFID) tags.

First orders and shipments of the dual-frequency reader system already have been made to the U.S. Department of Defense. Drawing on a combined 30 years of DoD experience, the ruggedized reader system includes additional functionality and is lighter, smaller and more robust than previous generations of similar devices. It is able to read from and write to Savi's active, data-rich RFID tags and also can scan and process data from standard linear, matrix, stacked and composite bar codes. " ...
