Wireless Dynamics now offers a memory card which can turn a mobile handset into a RFID reader, and can also be used to store RFID applications and data.
The SDiD 1212 plugs into the Secure Digital slot built into many smartphones or PDAs, and includes embedded 512 MB SD memory.
“By inserting the SDiD 1212 into the SD slot…the integrated device can be used for most low-frequency RFID applications such as asset tracking, field services, work-flow control, logistics, pet and livestock animal identification,” Wireless Dynamics said, in a press release. “RFID tag data transactions can be processed in real time through mobile connections such as Wi-Fi, CDMA, GSM/GPRS, or UMTS associated with the portable device.”
