Abstract

There is a data reader includes a housing, a radio frequency identification (RFID interrogator for detecting various amounts of data and processing circuitry connected to an output of the RFID interrogator. The data reader further includes a communications unit connected to the output with a loop antenna connected to the communications unit. The loop directional antenna provides gain and directionality when transmitting and receiving an electromagnetic signal. There is a multiple technology data reader includes an optical data reader having a housing, a photosensitive detector within the housing, and an optical collector for directing light onto the photosensitive detector. Processing circuitry is connected to an output of the photosensitive detector. In addition, the multiple technology data reader has radio frequency identification (RFID) interrogator for detecting data. There is a computer but connected to a communications unit, wherein the communications unit is connected to the optical data reader and the RFID interrogator. A loop directional antenna means is connected to the communication unit providing gain and directionality when transmitting and receiving a communications signal.
