No license is required to operate the
ARDIS radio in the U.S. or Canada,
but you must subscribe to the ARDIS
radio network before the radio can
be operated.
•
An Advanced Radio Data Information Service
(ARDIS) radio allows the PTC to communicate
via the wide area ARDIS digital communication
network or another DataTAC network.
•
A DATASPAN spread spectrum radio allows the
PTC to interactively communicate in real-time with
a host computer on a radio-based local area
network. Spread spectrum provides secure,
interference-free communication and does not
require a license for operation.
The PTC-870IM’s MicroRadio can
communicate with any other Telxon
product containing a MicroRadio, for
example, the PTC-921, AMT-925W,
and POS-5000.
•
A MicroRadio allows communication with optional
wireless accessories, including a printer and a
wireless scanning terminal.
Your application program controls the radio. Refer
to your application’s manual for details on using the
radio to transmit and receive data.
