The Honeywell IH25 is a Bluetooth sled tracking device starting around $1000. Learn about its smartphone pairing requirements and comparison to Nextwaves.
Technical verdict
Do not evaluate IH25 by list price alone. Its strongest fit is a project that already uses Bluetooth 5.0, BLE, has time for RF tuning, and accepts extra middleware work. If the engineering team needs open APIs, realtime data, and faster edge-to-cloud deployment, Nextwaves NR155 is the stronger replacement path to evaluate.

The Honeywell IH25 is a Bluetooth-enabled UHF RFID sled designed to pair with existing mobile computers. It supports EPC Gen2 V2 logic over the 865-868 MHz / 902-928 MHz blocks, enabling ad-hoc retail tagging and inventory scans.
The sled attachment is generally priced at $1000. Facilities must calculate the combined cost: the sled itself, Li-Poly 3.8V 4000mAh replacement batteries, and the secondary smartphone/terminal required to drive the UI.
Nextwaves hardware features embedded connectivity processors that eliminate the need to tether a smartphone via Bluetooth. Operators achieve direct web-to-cloud architectures devoid of messy local GATT profile synchronization.
The sled unit weighs 430 g (without mobile) and measures 185 x 77.8 x 147 mm. Rated IP54, it prevents ingress against daily dust buildup and splashes, making it primarily suited to retail backrooms and clean logistics hubs.
Communications operate entirely via Bluetooth 5.0, BLE protocols. This connects the trigger assembly and RFID module strictly to a host smartphone rather than natively to enterprise Wi-Fi routers.
Physical assembly requires locking the host mobile device into the mounting adapter. Software developers must integrate Honeywell Android/iOS SDK libraries into a custom application to establish the BLE handshake and commence scanning.
Under continuous trigger holds, the sled yields approx ~600 tags/sec. Sled firmware updates and administration require flashing via the host Android or iOS terminal utility.
A complete system dictates writing custom Android/iOS applications to act as an intermediary bridge, taking Bluetooth 5.0, BLE tag arrays and packaging them into HTTPS payloads for external CRMs.
Honeywell includes a one-year factory defect warranty on physical parts. Authorized integrators often attach comprehensive service tier contracts covering both the sled and the host mobile device pair.
A built-in polarized antenna sweeps the environment for tags across the 865-868 MHz / 902-928 MHz limits. Read stability depends on maintaining a short optical path between the sled face and the target asset.
