Press Release Summary: January 11, 2008 - iDTRONIC, a leading supplier of RFID
Hardware solutions, today introduced the high-performance UHF Long Range Reader
UHF-LR with a read range of up to 10 meters.

Press Release Body:
The new reader is a Multi-tag UHF Reader, capable of reading all tags that conform
to the EPC Generation Two (Gen2) and ISO 18000-6 B/C standards. In addition, this
UHF device is field upgradeable to support future protocols.

Based on Intel's latest R1000 transceiver, this reader can be configured within a
frequency range of 860 - 960 MHz, and has a software programmable RF Power supply
(up to 2W RF). With one single reader, systems integrators can support the most
common UHF tags in the US, Europe, and Japan.

As the latest addition to iDTRONIC's family of multi-protocol, multi-regional UHF
RFID Readers, the UHF-LR reader supports the very important Dense Reader Mode (DRM)
capability. It also offers the Listen before talk feature and Anti-Self Jamming
(ASJ) technology to allow users to operate several readers simultaneously in a
Multi-Reader Environment. .

iDTRONICs Long Range UHF Reader allows multiple configuration possibilities to
support a wide variety of typical applications, including asset management, baggage
handling, container & pallet tracking, item-level inventory management and warehouse
logistics.

The reader has a robust design, and comes in a very small form factor, with both USB
and RS232 serial interfaces. It can be connected to up to four Antennas at the same
time. Easy and fast Firmware upgrades are possible via the USB Interface and a SDK
for Developers is also available.

"IDTRONIC newest UHF RFID Reader is a major milestone in our development roadmap and
fits perfectly in with our state-of-the-art UHF Product family, including UHF
Readers, UHF Antennas and all different kinds of UHF Tags" commented Roger
Kochendoerfer, Chief Executive Officer of iDTRONIC.
