Tuesday, March 30, 2010

Comtech Mobile Datacom has received an order totaling $1.4 million under its movement tracking system contract with the U.S. Army.

The order is in Phase II of an ongoing effort to complete migration of all RFID processes to the new international standard ISO/IEC 18000-7. It encompasses modifications to the platform’s application program, network and other interfaces.

Phase I migration efforts involved modifications to the transceiver’s firmware to enable it to read RFID tags operating under the ISO 18000-7 standard.

Upon completion of the migration, the tracking system’s mobile RFID capability will extend to all active RFID tags built to comply with the international standard. [end]
