| Is Bluetooth still supported with the Serializer? Are Bluetooth modules still available? Did USBee replace Bluetooth? Thanks, Lawrence

| Hi: I read some more in the RFID section and think I can now answer my own question. XBee has a much longer range than Bluetooth. XBee is more able to go through barriers like walls in buldings. So, XBee is better for almost all application. BLuetooth still works but the bluetooth module won't be available in the future. Lawrence

| Hi Lawrence! Sorry for the delay, I missed this post... Yeah, the XBee modules are a much better fit for our products over Bluetooth in several ways: - You don't have to deal with multiple Bluetooth stacks
- The Xbee modules have better range (especially the Pros)
- You have Mesh networking built into the module (which we leverage w/ the RedBee RFID readers)
- They're half the price!
Nuf' said! Have a good one Lawrence! Best Regards!
