WESTMINSTER, Colo.-
A Colorado company that provides embedded radio frequency identification reader technology is involved in a project aimed at helping the military track casualties and medical resources.
SkyeTek Inc.’s RFID technology will be in handheld readers that the military wants to test.
The military has been working on shrinking a device that it could potentially use to read RFID wristbands placed on injured soldiers with their information, and to transmit that data, said Lt. Cmdr. Carl Manemeit of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory.
SkyeTek has coin-sized technology that allows it to be embedded in a handheld device.
Privately held SkyeTek, based in Westminster, reported 144 percent growth in sales bookings year-over-year for 2006 and expected similar growth from 2006 to 2007, CEO Rob Balgley said. It did not release dollar figures.
