UWB Excels where other RTLSs fail - True real-time tracking

Time Domain Launches Channel Reseller Program for its PLUS™ Ultra-Wideband Real-Time Location System (RTLS)

Company Partnering with Key Resellers to Bring New Level of Ultra-wideband RTLS Precision to Healthcare Market

Huntsville, Alabama -- November 13, 2007 -- Time Domain Corporation (www.timedomain.com) today unveiled a new channel program for value added resellers (VARs) who want to deploy highly accurate real-time location solutions using ultra-wideband With Time Domain’s PLUS™ real-time location system (RTLS), VARs can now offer solutions providing a new level of precision; PLUS™ tags can be located as close as 12-inches, even through multiple walls. Using UWB, thousands of PLUS™ tags are identified in real-time, providing the first precise, high-volume product platform in the active RTLS space. Focusing on the location and interaction of people and assets, Time Domain’s new PLUS™ product line will initially target the healthcare industry.

Wireless and other RTLS approaches are being trialed in multiple hospital settings for patient security and equipment tracking and utilization applications. Until now, these systems have been limited to, at best, room-only “last read” monitoring which tracks patients and equipment when they leave or enter a room. The Time Domain PLUS™ platform of ultra- wideband active tags, readers, ceiling-tile antennas, synchronization distribution panels, and software solves the problem of linking multiple healthcare providers, patients and equipment in a single room into a real-time, integrated patient safety, billing and equipment monitoring solution.

“There is tremendous demand for precision RTLS that offers better location accuracy than current solutions using Wi-Fi or other active RFID technology,” said Greg Clawson, vice president of worldwide sales and marketing at Time Domain. “With our PLUS solution, resellers can deliver RTLS solutions that locate PLUS™ tags to within 12 inches. With that type of location accuracy, our VARs can now solve business problems that increase productivity, improve safety, and secure facilities.” According to IDTechEx, the RTLS segment of the active RFID market is projected to grow at a 50% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2011, when the total RTLS market is projected to be $1.7B.

The PLUS product line will be sold through industry-leading VARs who will be eligible to participate in Time Domain’s certification programs. “Time Domain’s UWB solution is finally giving the healthcare industry the kind of in-room, real-time accuracy that will integrate patient care and safety with healthcare informatics and business process solutions to improve staff productivity, equipment utilization and patient care,” said John Shoemaker, president, Shipcom Wireless. “That is why we were one of the first companies to sign up to integrate PLUS into our x/Care™ suite of healthcare solutions.”

Time Domain will be demonstrating the PLUS platform and meeting with prospective VARs at the Active RFID & RTLS Summit in Dallas, Texas, December 5-6. The company is also hosting a webinar for VARs on Thursday, November 15 at 2:00 p.m. EST. Register at https://timedomainec.webex.com/timedomainec/onstage/g.php?t=a&d=660850574.
