MachineTalker Announces ToughTalker(TM) -- An Intelligent RFID For Container Security and Tracking
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 28, 2005 -- MachineTalker, Inc. announced the successful field testing of its rugged new Container Tracking and Security Device, the ToughTalker. Rigorous tests, conducted by a Fortune 500 Corporation, involved Internet access to groups of small, in-container, ToughTalkers in real-time around the globe.
The ToughTalkers record and report the freight manifest, service on-board sensors, and activate controls. They can operate with satellite transponders, cellular modems and local hand-held PDAs. Both the hardware and software components have been designed to minimize the need for oversight by personnel until changing conditions mandate such oversight.
Summarizing ToughTalker merits, Roland F. Bryan, President of MachineTalker, Inc. emphasized, "The tests conclusively demonstrate that ToughTalkers have several unique advantages over recently announced similar devices:
-- ToughTalkers are programmable and 'Intelligent' - They can detect information and share it;
-- ToughTalkers recognize and automatically form wireless relationships with each other;
-- ToughTalkers, built with off-the-shelf, low-power components, drastically reduce costs;
-- ToughTalkers are 50% the size of alternatives that perform few, if any, control functions.
"Internet access to ToughTalkers on-board containers was made possible by the Company's ContainerTracker(TM) software operating in gateways and providing a graphic display of results. Given its versatility, this application is only the first of many that can be considered."
MachineTalker, Inc. was founded in 2002, to develop the concept of intelligent, wireless, autonomous, mesh networking nodes for sensing, recording, processing and acting upon events. Because these small clusters or "Communities" of MachineTalkers(R) are accessible through the Internet, they can be monitored from anywhere in the world. Targeted at applications where security, monitoring, locating and managing inventory in real-time is important; they can be made responsible for any entity to which they are assigned.
MachineTalker(R), Talker(R), and ToughTalker(TM) are Trademarks of MachineTalker, Inc.
