High-Value, Low-Cost Solutions Open Worldwide Active and RTLS Markets

    MESA, Ariz., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Expanding the global availability and
Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) applications for its active tags, RF Code,
Inc., a leading developer of RFID asset tracking solutions, today announced it
is extending its Mantis II product line with the addition of its 433 MHz
Mantis Asset Tag and 433 MHz Mantis Reader.
    The 433 MHz frequency is widely allocated for use throughout the world,
allowing RF Code's new asset tags and readers to be used in a broader number
of countries.  Enhanced signaling capabilities substantially improve the

applications.  The Mantis 433 MHz line now offers the lowest cost active tag
at prices far below comparable systems, as well as the only 10+ year tag
battery life for 433 MHz RFID products in the market.  In addition to these
features, RF Code's 433 MHz product line combines industry leading anti-
collision performance in a small form factor.  Incorporating worldwide
availability with enhanced RTLS capabilities, RF Code's new line is
accelerating international container tracking, supply chain and healthcare
asset tracking markets for the company's solutions.
    "We're introducing the first cost-effective 433 MHz active tag and reader
solution with a host of features to drive market adoption for both RTLS and
international supply chain applications," said Joe Dugan, president and chief
executive officer for RF Code, Inc.
    "The low-cost, long battery life and new functionality of RF Code's 433
MHz tags and readers are a winning combination for our RTLS customers," said
John Hawkins, chief executive officer at JDS Professional Services Inc.

all of the benefits of the company's Mantis line, including a small modular
design, rapid tag processing and high throughput, simultaneous tag
identification, and optional antenna configurations for application-specific
