Abstract
A portable, hand-held data collection terminal unit is of modular structure including, among other modules, multiple endcap modules and radio frequency communications pod modules, each of which may be chosen from a plurality of modules available for assembly into the terminal unit thereby providing a plurality of modular combinations thereof. Consequently, a wide combination of terminal units may be assembled form the available modular choices in order to adapt and optimize the utility thereof for particular data collection and communications operations. The modules provide various modes of connectivity and data transfer capability.
