RSI ID Technologies Offers Complete Gen 2 Labels under 15 Cents; Free Compliance Hardware & Software Packages Now AvailableCHULA VISTA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 22, 2005 -- Company's Aggressive Pricing Strategy to Drive Deployment and Widespread Adoption of Gen 2 with Roadmap Pricing for Labels under 10 Cents RSI ID Technologies (RSI), one of the nation's only vertically integrated providers of RFID technology that allows customers to tag, scan and track information, today announced that it is offering finished, fully validated Gen 2 RFID labels under 15 cents per label for volume orders, with a roadmap for pricing under 10 cents per label by December 2006 for customers that make a 12-24 month commitment for Gen 2 label orders. Unique to the industry, RSI is the first company to offer such aggressive pricing on finished and fully tested Gen 2 RFID labels. Other companies have offered competitive pricing on inlays, which still require steps to convert the inlay into a finished label and test/validate the roll of labels, assuring that they are 100% good quality and fully functional. "Gen 2 is where the industry is going. Widespread adoption will drive competitive pricing and the Gen 2 standard will ensure open communication and interoperability in the industry," said Wolf Bielas, founder and CEO of RSI. "RSI, as a company, is committed to helping our customers and the industry reach the goal of 100% adoption of Gen 2 standards. Our strategy is to position Gen 2 solutions aggressively so that companies can leverage the advantages and added functionality of the Gen 2 standard today." As a compliment to those who purchase its Gen 2 label products, RSI is offering free Gen 2 compliance packages to customers looking to understand the technology and comply with mandates from retailers like Wal-Mart and Target as well as the Department Of Defense. RSI's solutions enable companies to leverage outside expertise and Gen 2 technology to ensure they meet mandates on time, in the most beneficial and cost effective manner possible. RSI recently announced it won two Blanket Purchase Agreements from the US ARMY to help various divisions of the ARMY comply with government RFID standards.
