AXCESS International Names New Vice President of Engineering
to Lead Next Generation Technology Push
DALLAS, TX, October 02, 2006 — AXCESS International Inc. (OTCBB: AXSI), a leading provider of Dual-Active™ Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) solutions and Real Time Location Systems (RTLS), announces the addition of Raj Bridgelall as Vice President of Engineering for the company. Previously with Symbol and Alien Technologies, Mr. Bridgelall will utilize his vast experience and innovations in the barcode and passive RFID industries to expand the capabilities of AXCESS’ high performance Dual-Active™ RFID technology platform. AXCESS specializes in “active” RFID, where power sources such as batteries are embedded into personnel cards, plus asset and vehicle tags providing corporations and government enhanced visibility, productivity, and security.
AXCESS created the new position to address the myriad of new customer applications and technological options evolving with the rapidly growing active RFID marketplace. The active RFID marketplace is expected to be the fastest growing RFID segment through 2010, comprising one-half of the expected $3 billion market according to the market forecast consensus. Fueling the growth in part are new technology options now becoming available which will enable the more flexible and reliable active RFID tags and readers to evolve to very low cost, small form factor devices. Also available are alternative power sources, micro -sensors, new antenna manufacturing techniques, data storage, and RF signal design, all of which characterize an exciting time for active RFID as a technology solution for business. The AXCESS Dual-Active™ RFID technology serves as a natural platform for delivering these solutions in what can be called the next generation of enterprise tagging.
“Active RFID technology is the future for providing unlimited visibility of enterprise assets of all kinds with capabilities for automating management, security, sensing, and data storage,” commented Raj Bridgelall. “The technology will revolutionize the current world of wireless communication between people into the wireless communication between things.”
Prior to AXCESS, Mr. Bridgelall was Vice President of Research and Development at Alien Technology, responsible for advanced product development related to the company's future wireless systems, enterprise networking platforms, and architectural extensions to the electronic product code (EPC) standards. Raj was also Chief Technologist for RFID at Symbol Technologies, where he held a series of positions in engineering and R&D over a 14 year period. He led Symbol's activities at the MIT Auto-ID Center and EPCglobal® Hardware Action Group, and was the architect of Symbol's approach for integrating RFID data capture into wireless. In the areas of analog circuitry, digital signal processing, RF, RFID, RTLS, digital communications, and mobile commerce, Mr. Bridgelall has been responsible for over 54 patents, with more than 40 in process. He has published numerous papers and won numerous awards for his pioneering work in RF technology. He holds both BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stony Brook University, New York.
