It is also compatible with battlefield medical information system-Telemedicine (BMIST) tactical readers, the Composite HealthCare System II-T and POC's FAERITO™ digital video audio recorders. The technology can also be extended to nonmedical and nonmilitary uses in a variety of tasks that utilize wireless encrypted data bases and require instantaneous access to the information. To assure data security, the WPIC employs Federal Information Processing Standards 140-2 certified encryption.
WPIC features a wireless Bluetooth range of10M for read, write and storage functions, 1-4 GB of memory, low power consumption and a rechargeable (3-year) battery. It has an ultra high effective data communication rate that is achieved by modifying Bluetooth technology (exceeding 1 Mbps).
