Belt Clip Transceiver Overview
The R900BCT is a software-defined receiver capable of simultaneously receiving R900,
Advantage, and Pocket ProReader RF transmissions. The R900BCT collects readings and
transfers them to the handheld through a Bluetooth
®
connection. The R900BCT also
receives and stores R900 readings to import into the billing system without the use of a
handheld. The R900BCT is software-defined so you can apply firmware updates to keep
your R900BCT current with new products introduced to the market.
You can pair the R900 BCT with either an Android™* or an Apple
®
iOS smart mobile device
to use for field presentment purposes or as an additional tool for field service personnel
using Neptune's NGO™ app. Download Neptune's NGO™ app on either the Apple Store or
Google Play™.
