MESA,
Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RF Code, Inc., a leading provider of Real-Time Location and Sensor (RTLS) solutions, today announced
the certification of the WiBox® wireless device server from Lantronix (Nasdaq: LTRX) and the availability
of an integrated solution to enhance its 303 MHz and 433 MHz active RFID readers with 802.11 b/g wireless network capabilities.
“The Lantronix wireless device server is the perfect add-on option for our enterprise
asset tracking customers,” said Dr. Nissim Ozer, chief technology officer of RF Code. “Asset
data, which is monitored by our secure, low frequency infrastructure, can easily be backhauled over existing corporate IT
backbones. It is ideal for asset tracking software applications and security system installations, where running network cable
is not feasible or cost-effective.”
Mantis II readers are key elements within the company's
award-winning TAVIS platform. RF Code’s active RFID tags and readers have the collective ability to relay
asset data directly to corporate networks allowing for enterprise solutions to be developed without impacting the existing
IT architecture.
RF Code’s RTLS solution combined with the Lantronix device server are
faster to deploy in enterprise settings with 802.11 Wi-Fi networks. The Lantronix WiBox unit has been tested and certified
by RF Code to operate with its readers.
“This enhanced offering allows flexible asset
tracking solutions without disrupting existing enterprise networks,” said Peter Sola, executive vice president
of RF Code. “Our 303 MHz and 433 MHz tags and readers enable high performance, real-time location of people
and assets without taxing enterprise IT infrastructures or requiring installation of new 802.11 access points.”
RF Code’s 303 MHz and 433 MHz systems feature high-performance, low-cost active RFID
tags which beacon their locations and optional sensor data at programmed intervals. Location and condition data is processed
by software programs which filter and consolidate information that can be processed by corporate databases and security systems.
RF Code’s Mantis product line operates at frequencies which are optimal for the ability to propagate through
materials, walls and other architectural elements.
The new, enhanced dual-port Lantronix WiBox provides
802.11 b/g wireless capabilities for high bandwidth data throughput. The WiBox also provides a unique bridging capability
which allows an Ethernet device, such as the Mantis reader, to be connected to an 802.11 wireless network. The WiBox is an
industrial-grade product with a high operating temperature range and ruggedized enclosure.
