  • KoamTac Introduces ultra mobile Bluetooth barcode scanner for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Princeton, NJ, May 24, 2010 – KoamTac, Inc. announced today the release of the KDCi range of Bluetooth barcode scanners designed specifically for use with iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. At less than two cubic inches and weighing only 1.2 ounces, KoamTac’s KDCi offers enterprises the opportunity to add professional barcode scanning to their mobile workers’ handset of choice in many industries including: transportation, field service, retail and healthcare.

    “Customers are becoming increasingly more in-tune with the preferences of their mobile information workers.” said Glen Hall, Vice President, Herbert Retail Ltd., a leading mobile systems integrator and authorized KoamTac partner. “The KDCi provides us the opportunity to tailor data capture solutions to the needs of today’s fastest growing segment of mobile worker: one who values the benefits of today’s sleek handsets for wireless email and voice communication but cannot settle for ineffective barcode scanning performance associated with software apps designed for consumer novelty.”

    ”The KDCi range represents the embodiment of KoamTac's years of experience with ultra mobile barcode reader design", said Dr. Hanjin Lee, CEO and founder of KoamTac, Inc. "We focused our efforts on developing a barcode terminal that follows the latest design trends of mobile terminals like MP3 players and smartphones while adding the durability needed for professionals. The KDCi’s bright display allows iPhone and iPad to send line-of-business application workflow and instructions to the user, enabling one-hand operation. And, given its ultra small size and light weight, many customers attach the KDC to their body using our convenient retractable belt lanyard.”

    KDCi is available in two models: KDC200i integrates a laser scan engine for reading all popular linear barcodes; KDC300i utilizes industry-leading Adaptus® Imaging technology from Honeywell, enabling high-performance omnidirectional reading of linear and 2D barcodes, postal codes, and optical character recognition (OCR) codes. On a fully charged battery both models are able to scan and transfer barcodes for several days with Bluetooth connection enabled.

    Garden State wizards put on a show in Sin City
                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Thursday, January 17, 2008 BY MARTHA MCKAY NorthJersey.com STAFF WRITER

    The technorati at last week's International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas sounded lukewarm about the mammoth show. Jeff Kagan, a telecommunications analyst who opines frequently on the state of technology wrote: "CES was bigger than ever, as usual, but as it gets bigger, it seems to get a little duller every year."

    Well, that could be the case for people looking for the proverbial "Next Big Thing." But when you nose around the place with an eye out for New Jersey innovations, there's always something interesting to be found. Tucked into booths scattered throughout the show's improbable 35 football fields' worth of exposition space, were some fascinating products -- of the Garden State variety.

    Handy scanner

    Like everything else (except those big screen TVs), bar code readers are getting smaller. One of the smallest, weighing in at a mere 38 grams, is made by KoamTac, a Princeton company whose president, Hanjin Lee, is a former Teaneck resident. The device easily fits in the palm of your hand, has a USB port, and can be worn around your neck with no fatigue factor.

    Lee says many business people who routinely need to scan bar codes will find the lightweight device handy, including visiting nurses, delivery and trucking workers as well as hospital employees. Both the KDC100 and 200 read a number of different symbologies (aka types of bar codes), and the model 200 comes with Bluetooth wireless as well as a USB port.

    The gadgets also have a rechargeable battery, an OLED display and 200 KB of data storage. The KDC100 has a suggested retail price of $299, and the model with Bluetooth sells for $349. The company's Web site is www.koamtac.com.
