PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an encoded information reading (EIR) terminal composed of a multi-protocol wireless communication interface. SOLUTION: An EIR terminal can include a microprocessor, a memory communicatively coupled to the microprocessor, an EIR device, a multi-band antenna, and a wireless communication interface. The wireless communication interface can be configured to support at least two wireless communication protocols. The microprocessor can be configured to perform a wireless communication protocol selector software program, which can be configured to dynamically select a wireless communication network and/or a wireless communication protocol. Selection of a wireless communication network and/or a wireless communication protocol can be performed by optimizing a location-based criterion and/or a least cost routing criterion.
