Pocket PC client for RFID-Bluetooth-scanner

• ITCs development team has created a Pocket PC
  client for RFID-Bluetooth-scanner.
• Core of the project
• A simple instruction is sent from Pocket PC to
  RFID-scanner, which is used by Australian farmers
  at livestock auctions for reading RFID-cattle ear
  tags. As a response the user receives a list of
  RFIDs.
• Formerly the farmers could connect to Bluetooth
  RFID-scanner using Laptop and standard
  communications (RS-232) using client software.
  Now the connection is possible using Pocket PC.
• Technical characteristics
• Windows Mobile 2002, 2003 BT stack 1.0-1.4
