AMobile Launches Ruby 8 RFID Tablet Featuring MediaTek and Impinj Gen2X

AMobile Solutions is working with Impinj and MediaTek to bring RFID-enabled mobile computing solutions to enterprise and retail markets. By combining AMobile’s rugged mobile device design, Impinj Gen2X RAIN RFID capability, and the MediaTek MT8781 IoT Modem 4G platform, the Ruby 8 is designed to help retailers and frontline operators improve item-level visibility, mobile data capture, and real-time service efficiency.
The Ruby 8 RFID Tablet is a rugged 8-inch mobile device designed to support RFID-enabled operations, mobile POS applications, and real-time field data capture. With its 8-inch display, Ruby 8 offers a compact and portable form factor that is easier to hold and operate with one hand compared with larger tablets, making it suitable for frontline workers who need to scan, check inventory, process transactions, or capture field data while moving through retail stores, warehouses, logistics facilities, and service environments.

Ruby 8 adopts the MediaTek MT8781 to deliver a balanced combination of performance, connectivity, and power efficiency for mobile field operations. Built on a 6nm process and an octa-core CPU architecture with 2 Arm Cortex-A76 performance cores and 6 Arm Cortex-A55 efficiency cores, MT8781 helps Ruby 8 maintain smooth responsiveness across RFID reading, inventory workflows, data synchronization, mobile POS, and multitasking scenarios while supporting the power efficiency required for long operating hours in the field.
For connectivity, MT8781 supports 4G/LTE Cat-13, enabling frontline teams to maintain real-time data upload, cloud system synchronization, and mobile transaction workflows even when fixed Wi-Fi is not available. For retail and logistics operations, stable 4G LTE connectivity can help shorten inventory update cycles, improve field service efficiency, and support consistent operations across multiple sites.

MT8781 also integrates powerful graphics, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, and multi-GNSS capabilities, supporting Ruby 8 across mobile user interfaces, peripheral connectivity, positioning services, and diverse field applications. Combined with AMobile’s rugged product design, Ruby 8 serves as a reliable mobile work platform for retail, warehouse, logistics, and field service teams.
Impinj Gen2X is an enhancement to the RAIN RFID standard that speeds inventory counts, increases tag read range, declutters the environment, protects consumers and inhibits tag and item counterfeiting. With Gen2X, Ruby 8 helps enterprises improve operational efficiency across retail inventory management, smart checkouts, warehouse operations, logistics tracking, asset management, and field service applications

CK Wang, Vice President and General Manager of MediaTek's IoT Business Unit, said:

"Together with AMobile Solutions, we are bringing our IoT platform to the rugged RFID tablet market. With high-performance 4G LTE connectivity, powerful computing capability, an energy-efficient platform design, and SoftPOS support, the Ruby 8 delivers a highly competitive mobile platform for the retail, logistics, and field service markets."

Stanley Li, General Manager of AMobile Solutions North America, said:

"AMobile Solutions is committed to transforming advanced technologies into practical solutions for real-world industries. By combining the MediaTek MT8781 platform, Impinj Gen2X RAIN RFID technology, 4G LTE and 5G connectivity, SoftPOS support, and an 8-inch form factor optimized for one-handed operation, the Ruby 8 provides customers with a flexible mobile platform for connected retail, logistics, and field operations."

"We’re excited to see Ruby 8 bring the power of RAIN RFID to a compact mobile form factor," said Vikas Dhurka, Senior Director, Product Management, Reader IC of Impinj Inc. "With support for Impinj Gen2X, mobile RFID devices can deliver faster inventory counts, improved item finding and micro-locationing capabilities, more efficient picking workflows, and item authentication, helping frontline workers access real-time item-level intelligence wherever they work."
The Ruby 8 RFID Tablet is scheduled to launch in mid-June 2026. AMobile Solutions also plans to expand its RFID-enabled product portfolio with additional devices, including Dali, later this year.
