VALENCIA, CA — (Marketwire) — 07/19/11 — Enable IPC Corporation (PINKSHEETS: EIPC) today issued an update to shareholders and interested parties regarding its recently launched S/Cap (solar/capacitor) RFID Tag product. Additionally, the Company released part 2 of its RFID blog series.
Enable IPC recently announced the launch of its new S/Cap RFID Tag product for use primarily in asset tracking. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are used in dozens of applications, and the market for RFID systems has been estimated by a third party market researcher at nearly $6 billion and growing. They are used in applications as diverse as toll booths, livestock, department stores, oil rigs, warehouses, the military and much more.
“Our tag-s outstanding performance and durability are second to none in the industry,” said David Walker, CEO of Enable IPC. “Warranties for similar tags range from one year to 90 days to non-existent. We are so confident in our product that we are offering a seven year warranty.”
Enable IPC-s new S/Cap RFID tag utilizes a small solar panel which charges an ultracapacitor as a power source. The Company has been working in ultracapacitor technologies for several years now.
“To our knowledge, using a solar panel and an ultracapacitor in a commercial RFID tag has not been done before,” said Walker. “These tags are a game-changing answer to some of the limitations inherent in passive RFID systems.”
These tags contain a number of improvements on other competing designs, including:
Ruggedized case
Waterproof
Wide operational range temperature and humidity ranges
Multiple mounting options
Longer read range
Ability to be read across multiple frequency bands (860 to 960 MHz)
Attractive warranty and
Competitive pricing
Intellectual property protection on the device is in process.
Third party RFID experts and users have called the tag “innovative” and labeled its performance as “impressive.”
The RFID Journal, a leading trade magazine for the RFID industry, recently published an article describing the tag, which can be found here: . In addition, VeryFields, an RFID database, discussed the tag in its blog:
Using RFID tags for asset tracking can be of tremendous value to many customers. For example, a Texas hospital recently noted that they are saving $33,000 per month through the use of RFID asset tracking.
A product with the characteristics of Enable IPC-s tag is fitting for many asset tracking applications, especially outdoor uses that can take advantage of its robust engineering. Some outdoor use examples include: oil rigs (both for asset and personnel tracking), transportation, pallet and container tracking, sports (runners, etc.), equipment tracking, forestry identification processes, aerospace, and particular applications for the largest user of RFID, the U.S. Department of Defense.
Enable IPC has non-exclusive distribution and integration agreements in place with multiple companies, providing sales and marketing services for the product in the US, Canada, South America, Europe and South Korea. The Company is interested in speaking with other companies globally who might have an interest in using its tag in systems.
Part two of the Company-s blog series on RFID has been posted at . This informative series of postings discusses how RFID systems work, how and where they are used and details some of the market opportunities these technologies present.
There are three main types of RFID tags in production today: “passive,” “battery-assisted passive” (or “BAP”) and “active.” Enable IPC-s solution enables a BAP RFID tag to read many feet away while providing the low cost, maintenance free reliability associated with a passive RFID tag. The RFID tag industry is expected to see heavy growth in the coming years with one third-party market research report forecasting a total market value of $8 billion by 2014.
Enable IPC has recently taken on the challenge of expanding its communication channel through the use of social media, in order to communicate more easily and frequently with its industry and interested investors. As a part of this effort, the Company has improved its website (), redesigning it for a sleeker, cleaner look and improved user interface.
