AXCESS Announces Integration of Wi-Fi, Active and Semi-Active RFID to Track and Protect Assets, People and Vehicles Over the Wireless LAN
AXCESS to exhibit and present solution at Active RFID Summit trade show
Active RFID Summit USA 2005, SAN ANTONIO, TX, November 15, 2005 — AXCESS International Inc. (OTCBB: AXSI.OB), a leading provider of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, today announced that Asset Activator™ successfully integrates 812.11b/g Wi-Fi, Active, and Semi-Active RFID to automatically inventory, track and protect assets over the existing wireless LAN. This marks the first solution to utilize the highly accurate “On-Demand” RFID tag activation methodology with Wi-Fi. Now, lower costs are realized and it is easier to install an automatic asset management system in the enterprise. The solution is being demonstrated this week in Booth #t7 at the Active RFID Summit in San Antonio, November 15 – 16, 2005.
“Using the existing Wi-Fi infrastructure in the enterprise has obvious advantages in both economics and the ease of installation,” commented Allan Griebenow, president and CEO of AXCESS. “However, Wi-Fi access points are rarely so numerous or correctly positioned to use as actual receivers for RFID tag transmissions. The best of both worlds exists when our low cost RFID receivers can connect to the network easily using standard Wi-Fi adapters and the existing Wi-Fi access point infrastructure.”
The Asset Activator solution utilizes a “Control Point” architecture to locate, track, count and protect tagged assets by activating the tags on-demand at key strategic points in and around the enterprise. Now, by using off-the-shelf Wi-Fi adapters, users can seamlessly connect into the corporate network through legacy Wi-Fi access points.
AXCESS’ patented ActiveTag RFID product uses small, battery powered tags (generically called “semi-active” tags) that when automatically activated, transmit a wireless message typically 30 to 100 feet to hidden palm size receivers. The receivers are connected via an industry standard interface to existing security alarm equipment or networked on the existing corporate network. Optionally, the tag system can also be used to trigger security video recording and live remote video transmission. The tags are used for a variety of other security applications including automatic personnel access to facilities, automatic vehicle access to parking areas and yards, as well as special purpose sensing. Automatic email alerting and paging is offered for rapid response to security incidents.
