ACADEMIA RFID AND INTEGRAL RFID BOOST CANADIAN TRAINING EXPERIENCE

Academia RFID selects Integral RFID to provide Instant EPC Hotspot software for its new training and certification courses

December 14, 2006 – Montreal, Quebec

Academia RFID, Canada's leading academic authority in RFID technology, is excited to use the Instant EPC Hotspot software as part of their RFID courses and certifications across Canada. Integral RFID, a world-class consulting and software solutions provider, is proud to be chosen by Academia to help elevate the classroom experience with the involvement of its innovative software.

"One of the fundamental problems to understanding and using RFID is not being able to ‘see' what is going on", remarks Chris Parkinson, CEO of Integral RFID. "Instant EPC Hotspot allows its users to quickly and easily visualize many aspect of RFID, leading to insight, understanding and successful technology deployments. So by working with Academia in Canada we feel our software will uniquely enhance the understanding of their participants, resulting in very successful RFID training classes."

"We knew from day one that this software was essential to help fully explore visualization of tag location and portal tuning and it was just a matter of time before the obvious collaboration between Integral RFID and Academia happened", said Academia's Ygal Bendavid, "and just in time for the launch of our new courses."

Academia has decided to include the Instant EPC Hotspot software as part of their three new courses: RFID SCM (Supply Chain Management Certification), RFID PRO (Project Implementation Management Certification) and RFID LOG (Applications in Transport, Warehousing and Logistics), as well as their already popular RFID 101, 201, ROI and CompTIA RFID+ Certification courses.
