National Scientific Corporation Announces Availability of Revolutionary Wi-Fi Tracking Technology SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. --(Business Wire)-- Aug. 2, 2004 -- Wi-Fi Tagging and Tracking Solution Leverages Off-the-Shelf Technology to Solve Indoor Location IssuesU.S. technology firm National Scientific Corporation (OTCBB:NSCT) today announced the availability of their Wi-Fi Tracker(TM) hardware platform, version 1.2 developer tag. Wi-Fi Tracker utilizes 802.11x networks in conjunction with position-enabling software to provide precision tracking and location information within customers' existing Wi-Fi(R) networks. In combination with leading Wi-Fi enabled tracking software, each unique Wi-Fi "tag" determines its position in relation to existing Wi-Fi infrastructure access points. The tag, through a local Wi-Fi access point, sends this data back to the tracking software, which immediately triangulates each tag's position and continuously updates its location on a Web-based graphic interface. Wi-Fi Tracker utilizes customers' pre-existing 802.11x wireless network, thereby offering customers' considerable savings in their initial deployment costs. "Wi-Fi Tracker offers a major improvement in indoor asset and personnel tracking without the need for a dedicated, costly, proprietary reader infrastructure, which is needed when using all current generation RFID tag products," said Graham Clark, National Scientific Corporation's president. "By seamlessly piggybacking on existing infrastructure, Wi-Fi Tracker allows a customer to quickly, easily and inexpensively deploy a state-of-the-art tracking management solution across an existing network." The Wi-Fi Tracker platform easily lends itself to multiple applications, including the tracking of personnel and high-value pieces of equipment in hospitals, the petro-chemical industry, casinos, daycare facilities and space exploration. Initial product shipments will be deployed at leading companies in the automotive, medical and chemical industries. Wi-Fi Tracker is available directly through National Scientific Corporation and other distribution channels. The Wi-Fi Tracker developer kit includes one Wi-Fi tag, a battery charging unit, and software.
