PiccoLink Wireless Data Collection System consists of radio handsets which are used to communicate with the host system via a base station(s) using a very efficient communication protocol The host system can be just a PC or a more complex computer system. The base station (or several base stations) can be connected to the host system using an RS232 serial interface or with a LAN using an Ethernet-Serial converter.

PiccoLink connect directly to Sage Line 50 order processing and to QuickSell 2000 order processing and stock take, shelf edge printing etc.

The application software is run by the host system; the handheld appears to it like a wireless keyboard/display/scanner. This eliminates the need for programming the handheld units, thus making software development and updating extremely easy and allowing software to be flexible in application. What is more, the communication is rapid because it's real time!
