Intermec Technologies SD61 multiport wireless base station

The SD61 is a multiport wireless base station that provides a secure connection (ISCP protocol) between multiple Intermec industrial scanners and the host device. The SD61 allows up to seven Intermec Bluetooth-equipped scanners to operate in the same work area, connected wirelessly to the same mobile cart solution, PC or Intermec printer. By reducing the number of hosts, the SD61 delivers a quick ROI and a less cluttered work environment.

The communication between the SD61 and associated scanners is bi-directional, ensuring that data transfers are secure and validated. Additionally, the Bluetooth Class 1 radio allows any SD61 user to work within a radius of up to 100 m from the base in open air. Users that go out of range from the base station are informed visually - by Intermec’s Ready-to-Work light - and by audio messages provided by the SF51 or SR61 scanners. Once users re-enter range they automatically re-connect to the system.

The SD61 provides flexibility, reliability and durability by enabling each wireless scanner associated with it to run independently with specific configurations. The first-time configuration process with the SD61 is simplified by reading bar codes that accompany the base station or online through Intermec’s EasySet configuration software, which also provides data editing tools. The SD61 was designed with harsh environments like warehouse and industrial production sites in mind, and can withstand up to 26 drops to concrete from a height of 1.3 m.
