Has anyone implemented a wireless (RF) data collection system with an OI database?

We've done quite a few OI systems that included RF. Most of these have been upgrades from Arev. The arev systems often used V124 to do the serial communication, and since this no longer exists in OI you have to do the communication differently. We have taken 2 approaches depending on the client's needs. The first approach was writing our own serial communication routines (this is the quickest way to upgrade an Arev app). In the second we have used an off the shelf package to interface the RF and then used OLE, DDE, or other methods to transfer the data to OI. All these ways will get the job done.
