In addition, a common platform and single radio architecture allows OEMs to leverage software for the LA-5127 to adopt new features and migrate to new radios in the future.
The LA-5127 Wireless Networker enables OEMs to build custom end-products -- used in vertical markets including healthcare, transportation and logistics, warehousing and distribution, and retail -- to transmit critical information from the point of business activity.
