(COMTEX) B: LXE, Intel and Sirit to Collaborate on Forklift-Mounted RFID Data Collection
Solutions Development effort to include antennae and RFID readers for forklift applications
( PRNewswire )

ATLANTA, March 2, 2005 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- LXE is pleased to announce it
is working with Intel and Sirit to produce the first robust, forklift-mounted
RFID data collection solutions for use in warehousing and distribution. This
effort will produce solutions that will enable customers to garner the benefits
of RFID throughout their warehouse, beyond simple compliance.

As the lead in this development, LXE will bring 35+ years of experience in
developing wireless products and solutions, extensive antenna engineering talent
through its sister divisions in EMS Technologies, and a customer base including
most the top companies implementing RFID in their Supply Chain operations today.

The new systems will utilize the Intel(R) IXP4XX product line of network
processors for application processing and network transmission. The processors
are based on high-performance, low-power Intel XScale(R) technology, enabling
implementation in a variety of form factors.

Sirit brings its leading RFID design capabilities and will provide the RFID
expertise and RFID reader module components supporting EPCglobal Class 0, Class
0+, Class 1 and UHF Gen2 protocols. The reader will leverage Sirit's existing
technology collaboration with Intel to produce standards-based building block
technology for RFID readers.

"LXE has always excelled in delivering products and solutions for mobile data
collection," says Jim Childress, LXE President and General Manager. "Our history
illustrates the value of realtime mobile data capture, versus static or batch.
Now LXE extends that value to RFID-based data collection."

"As companies move beyond pure compliance operations, it becomes evident that a
robust, reliable implementation for forklift-based operations is required," adds
Dick Sorenson, LXE Director of Product Management. "With a mutual commitment to
open standards, we've got the right teammates in Sirit and Intel with
complementary skills to meet the challenge."

"Intel provides a wide range of computing and communications building blocks to
support the growing RFID infrastructure," said Doug Davis, Intel's vice
president, Digital Enterprise Group and general manager, Infrastructure
Processor Division. "This development effort can help customers use that
infrastructure to rapidly realize cost-savings at the warehouse."

"Sirit is delighted to build on the very successful relationship we've enjoyed
over the past three years with industry leader LXE," states William Staudt,
President and CEO of Sirit. "In particular, we look forward to following the
success of a mobile, standards-based solution such as LXE's MX3-RFID with a
forklift solution as Supply Chain customers move beyond compliance to reap
benefits of RFID internally."
