All About Wireless Barcode Scanners
Every type of business faces its own specific requirements and challenges, whether it is retail, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, or any other industry. Regardless of the sector, barcode technology has become a crucial component of many business processes, making inventory tracking, asset management, and order fulfilment faster, more efficient, and more accurate than ever before.
The development of wireless technologies such as Bluetooth and WiFi has greatly influenced the evolution of barcode scanners. As wireless technology advanced, barcode manufacturers also upgraded their products to meet the industry’s changing needs.
Wireless barcode scanners are now the norm, offering greater flexibility and convenience for businesses of all types. Wireless barcode scanners allow workers to move freely in the workplace without compromising accuracy or efficiency. They can also be used outdoors, allowing businesses to monitor inventory levels and place orders anywhere and at any time.
What is a Wireless Barcode Scanner?
Wireless barcode scanners are a type of barcode scanner that uses radio frequency like Bluetooth or WiFi to transfer barcoded information to a host device. These devices feature an ergonomic design and are lightweight.
Wireless scanners rely on in-built rechargeable batteries for power supply, data transfer, and communication. These barcoding devices feature long-range barcode scanning (up to 200 feet), allowing users to scan barcodes from a greater distance. Some wireless scanners also feature internal memory, allowing users to store barcodes for later transfers.
Unlike traditional wired barcode scanners, wireless barcode scanners don’t require cables or wires to work and are also known as cordless barcode scanners. They sometimes go by other names depending on the type of wireless technology they use, such as Bluetooth barcode scanner and WiFi barcode scanner.
Wireless barcode scanners communicate with host devices in two ways.
- Directly with the host device (such as a computer or cash register) (direct connectivity)
- Via a charging dock or base station (indirect connectivity)
With direct connectivity, the wireless scanner connects directly to the host device via a dedicated connection or network. In this mode, all the barcode data collected by the scanner is sent directly to the host device as soon as it’s read.
With indirect connectivity, the wireless barcode scanner communicates with its base station or charging cradle, which then sends data to the host device. This base station or charging cradle is connected to the host device, commonly via an RS232 or USB cable. Simply put, the barcode scanner sends its data to a middleman (base station or charging cradle), who then passes it on to the final destination (host device) via an RS232 or USB cable.
Wireless barcode scanners are ideal for businesses that require frequent movement around an area while scanning items, such as retail stores, warehouses, production floors, etc. They are also well-suited for outdoor field service and asset tracking applications.
Types of Wireless Barcode Scanners Offered By Triton
General Wireless Barcode Scanners
General barcode scanners are handheld devices designed to scan barcodes with accuracy, efficiency, and reliability. They come with various features, including fast barcode reading speed, a comfortable and ergonomic design, and long-range scanning.
General scanners have a limited ability to endure rough handling and can only survive minor events such as accidental drops. Despite their lack of ruggedness, general scanners can still meet important business needs and work well in low-intensity environments like convenience stores, hardware stores, bottle shops and general stores.
Check out our range of affordable, high-quality general barcode scanner models here.
Rugged Wireless Barcode Scanners
Rugged barcode scanners are designed to withstand impacts and drops from a greater height, making them ideal for harsher environments such as warehouses, factories, and shipping yards. They come with protective bumpers, rubber frames, and resistant casings or coatings to protect the device against dust, dirt, water spills, and other liquids.
Rugged scanners also have various safety certifications such as Ingress Protection (IP) rating, tumble test certification, and drop-impact tests to ensure their durability.

2D Barcode Scanners
A 2D barcode scanner is a device that can read both two-dimensional barcodes and traditional 1D barcodes. These scanners come with many features, including more accurate and faster scanning, higher resolution imaging, improved flexibility, and better data-presenting capabilities.
2D barcode scanners are ideal for businesses that require scanning of high-density codes such as QR codes, Data Matrix codes, and PDF417 codes. These scanners are mostly used in the healthcare, logistics and travel industries.
They come in various form factors such as general, rugged, mobile computers and more.

Mobile Terminals
Mobile terminals, also called mobile computer barcode scanners, are devices that combine the functions of a mobile device and a barcode scanner into one single device. These handheld scanners feature an ergonomic grip (such as a pistol-style handle) that makes it easier for the user to carry and handle the device.
Mobile terminals come with various features like built-in large memory capacity (RAM and flash memory), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology, and advanced barcode reading capabilities. These devices come with a touchscreen display and an integrated keyboard, allowing users to view, input and edit data easily.
Mobile terminals have a high level of ruggedness, making them ideal for harsh working environments and outdoor applications. They are commonly used in industrial settings such as factories, manufacturing plants, storage facilities, and warehouses.
