The RFgen development framework is designed around the concept of an open, sharing of code. Since its inception, all RFgen based applications and transactions are by their very nature – “open.” There is no built-in prohibition on the re-use and sharing of application code, nor is any of the application code hidden from the developer. At RFgen, we firmly believe in empowering individuals and companies to take ownership of their mobile and wireless data collection activities; to show our support for this concept, RFgen has released a substantial number of certified, quality assurance tested, and fully documented transactions to the open source community. Just a few of the areas where RFgen pre-written, open source solutions have been released are...

With "Open Source" solutions, because the source code is publicly available, your company can quickly have the code tailored to meet your specific needs. Moreover, developers can re-use code written by others for similar tasks or purposes. This enables developers to concentrate on creating the features unique to their current task, instead of spending their effort on rethinking and re-writing code that has already been developed by others. Code re-use reduces development time and provides predictable results. Another benefit is that with access to the source code, the lifetime of open source systems and their upgrades can be extended indefinitely.

Having the ability to use open source building blocks to jump start mobile and wireless data collection efforts means that it has never been faster or easier to create applications that are tailored to meet your own unique business requirements. The RFgen "Open Source" approach to application development, as well as its surrounding framework, makes it a proven, comprehensive system that dramatically lowers the cost of implementing, customizing, and maintaining data collection solutions. With RFgen, you can take 100% ownership of the product with no hidden costs or recurring charges; our existing open source modules have been proven to save developers hundreds of hours by eliminating the re-invention of the detailed logic that supports the real-time needs of mobile and wireless users.
