Capstone - ET65 Spot Truck RFID Staging

Summary:  The RFID Spot truck project consists of Fixed RFID readers & ET Tablets.  The RFID readers are mounted on trucks and track trailers throughout the yard.  The tablet runs their application and draws data from our Yard tracking RFID use case, but does not run our software on tablet. The RFID Readers will be configured and tested with cellular, including activation of SIMs via contact with Capstone prior to shipping.  The ET Tablets will be enrolled in SOTI and also tested with cellular, including activation prior to shipping.

*Notes:  ET85 only for use in high temperature sites (IE: Amarillo) where the ET65 will be used in standard deployments going forward to allow them to use android where possible.
