Get PCR testing become a necessary thing in our daily life. 

When we are doing the PCR testing outdoor, the operator will use handheld terminals to scan our QR code to get the personal data to do PCR testing.

Then what should to consider when choose a handheld terminal for PCR testing? Please keep reading: 

Firstly we need to know that handheld terminal is just a hardware which installed the basic system only: Android/Windows, so we need to consider if we have the software for PCR testing. If we have the software, then we buy the handheld terminal, install our software is ok. But if we don’t have the software, we will need to buy the handheld terminal which already installed the PCR testing software.

And below is more details of handheld terminal hardware:

1. Operating System: Generally the OS is Android, Windows Mobile, Windows CE, etc. Mostly the device use Android, Android version from Android 6.0 to Android 10.0

2. RAM & ROM: The storage generally is Quad core and Octa core, 2G + 16G, or customized 3G + 32G, 4G + 64G, etc. Better configure with higher price.

3. Data Transmission Methods: Standard 4G, General Network, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. Support GPS and Beidou.

4. Battery Volume: Need to ask the supplier what’s the battery volume of battery, if you need to use it for a long time at outdoor, a large volume of the battery is needed.

5. Decoding ability: 1D barcode scan head (Laser scanning), 2D barcode scan head (for PCR testing, recommend use 2D barcode scan head, because it can decode both of 1D and 2D barcode.). Choose a better scan head, it’s good to read health QR code and PCR testing barcode.

6. IP Degree: The IP degree is also important, because the weather outdoor is changeable, when it’s rainy day, the terminal needs to be waterproof, and anti-fall. Generally IP67 degree is suitable choice.
