MEDIA TIP SHEET – EXHIBITOR ANNOUNCEMENTS

Company/Booth Announcement

Active RFID Systems

Booth #1132

Active RFID Systems, Inc. (ARS), a leading provider of battery-

powered radio frequency and infrared supply chain management

systems for total asset tracking, in-transit visibility, security, and data

networking over all mobile devices., and Broadcom, Inc., a global

leader in semiconductors for wired and wireless communications have

announced their collaboration in the development and sales of a WiFi

(802.11.b/g)-enabled radio frequency identification (RFID) tag that will

be used to track assets directly in a WiFi Network Enterprise System.

The new tag offers 1-2 years of battery life and is interoperable with

any existing WiFi network.

Under the terms of the agreement, ARS will incorporate the Broadcom

chipset into this WiFi tag and will manufacture and support the finished

tag product. Broadcom will support the hardware, firmware and

software activities.

ADC

Booth #1123

ADC will showcase its TrueNet® Midspan Power-over-Ethernet

Controller at RFID World 2006 (Booth #1123). The award-winning PoE

solution allows users to easily and cost-effectively upgrade their

network to power RFID readers.

ADC’s TrueNet Midspan PoE Controller injects IEEE 802.3af compliant

power onto any standard Ethernet cable, allowing users to utilize their

entire existing infrastructure including Ethernet switches. As enterprise

networks deploy RFID readers, delivering power to these devices can

pose a challenge.

The ADC TrueNet Midspan PoE Controller allows RFID readers to be

Page 2: document

strategically situated in locations throughout the enterprise that

optimize effectiveness, including ceilings.

Appleton

Booth #118

Using direct thermal technology in warehouse, distribution and supply

chain label applications, whether RFID-enabled or standard, eliminates

multiple operational inefficiencies associated with traditional thermal

transfer printing.

Because direct thermal is ribbonless, it is much less prone to

electrostatic discharges and therefore is an ideal method for printing

RFID labels. It also produces pristine printed images because there is

no ribbon scuffing or marking at the “chip bump.”

Also, when exposed to high levels of industrial lighting, Appleton’s

exclusive LightSafe™ Technology (patent pending) keeps direct

thermal labels white for two or more years—long after thermal transfer

labels have noticeably yellowed.

Argent Group

Booth #129

Argent Group is announcing the signing of a partnership agreement

Datacon Technology GmbH (member of BE Semiconductor Industries N.V.)

Booth #1231

The price of an RFID tag is currently the essential benchmark for

acceptance of this technology. There is talk of the so-called "nickel

tag", a fully operative, passive RFID transponder tag which will be

available for 5 US cents in 2008. In order to get closer to this ambitious

cost objective, enablers must appear in all areas of the technology

range. Datacon will make an ambitious contribution to this. Datacon

started very successfully with its RFID technology and could require

new customers in USA and Asia. The RFID production line can be

5

certification training that teaches the knowledge and skills necessary

for a new wave of evolving RFID technicians. This is the industry’s first

RFID+ CompTIA approved certification training program. The first class

was recently held at ASURYS’ Customer Solution Center (CSC) – a

RFID testing, training and engineering development center – in

Memphis, Tenn.

Participants were trained for certification in the areas of RF physics,

RFID tags and interrogation zone basics, site analysis, design

selection, installation, maintenance and troubleshooting of RFID

hardware, as well as standards related to RFID systems.

International Paper International Paper’s ASURYS business, formerly known as Smart

Packaging, deployed an RFID warehouse tracking system at

10

Page 11: document

Booth #823

International Paper’s Texarkana, Texas paper mill in 2003 and has

made significant contributions to the growing RFID space.

code labeling, this release extends these capabilities by adding

11

Page 12: document

software support for fixed mount RFID reader technology.

DEMO DESCRIPTION:

Loftware will demonstrate a real-time pallet build and pallet receive

implementation.

In the pallet build test, cartons placed on a pallet and each carton’s

SGTIN is read and compared to a list of expected values. The operator

then writes a pallet tag and attaches the tag to the ship-ready pallet.

In the pallet receive demonstration, the pallet moves into the reader’s

field. The field is compared to a list of expected ASNs. If the ASNs are

successfully matched, the pallet is received. If pallet or carton tags do

not match, the pallet is rejected for exception processing.
