Symbol Technologies Inc. has announced that the U.S. Army has awarded five blanket purchase agreements (BPAs) for Symbol's Electronic Product Code (EPC)-compliant class 0 and 1 multiprotocol fixed radio frequency identification (RFID) readers. This will enable the DoD to install and use Symbol's RFID technology in military installations around the world to track materials and supplies throughout the DoD's supply chain.

With the award of the BPAs, Symbol's RFID readers will enable the DoD to track everything from tanks to toilet paper and achieve the agency's vision of accurate, real-time data capture and processing. The awards were made to Symbol's strategic partners: CDO Technologies Inc., Cheval Rouge, RSI ID Technologies, SYS-TEC Corp., and WFI Government Services Inc., and call for the use of Symbol's fixed, multiprotocol RFID reader.

Designed for industrial use, Symbol's multiprotocol reader provides advanced data capture to read, write, process and communicate information from electronically passive RFID tags for immediate and accurate identification of any item within the supply chain.
