Embodiment Construction

[0025] There is provided an encoded information reading (EIR) terminal incorporated in a data collection system. in the attached figure 1 The data collection system, shown schematically in , may include a plurality of EIR terminals 100a-100z in communication with a plurality of interconnected networks 110a-110z. In one aspect, the plurality of networks 110a-110z may include at least one IEEE 802.11 structured wireless network. In another aspect, the plurality of networks 110a-110z may include at least one GSM family wireless network, such as a wireless network supporting GSM, GPRS or EDGE wireless communication protocols. In a still further aspect, the plurality of networks 110a-110z may include at least one CDMA family wireless network, such as a wireless network supporting UMTS, HSPA or LTE wireless communication protocols. In a still further aspect, the plurality of networks 110a-110z may include at least one TDMA-family wireless network, such as a wireless network suppor...

Abstract

A network-agnostic encoded information reading terminal comprises a microprocessor, a memory communicatively coupled to the microprocessor, an EIR device, a multi-band antenna, and a wireless communication interface. The EIR device is provided by a bar code reading device, an RFID reading device, and / or a card reading device. The EIR device is configured to perform outputting raw message data comprising an encoded message and / or outputting decoded message data corresponding to an encoded message. The wireless communication interface comprises a radio frequency front end electrically coupled to the multi-band antenna. The wireless communication interface is configured to support at least two wireless communication protocols. The microprocessor is configured to execute a wireless communication protocol selector software program, which in turn is configured to dynamically select a wireless communication network and / or a wireless communication protocol. Selection of a wireless communication network and / or a wireless communication protocol is performed by optimizing a location-based criterion and / or a least cost routing criterion. The microprocessor is configured to execute a system software program and / or an application software program in parallel with the wireless communication protocol selector software program switching a wireless communication network and / or a wireless communication protocol.
