Phoenix Contact Launches New Products Utilizing Dust Networks` Embedded Wireless Sensor Networking Technology

WirelessHART Gateway and Adapters Address Market Demand For Greater Process
Efficiency and Multi-Vendor Interoperability

FRANKFURT, Germany--(Business Wire)--
Dust Networks®, the leading supplier of standards-based wireless sensor
networking products, has announced that their SmartMesh IA-510 WirelessHART
sensor networking technology is being used in two new products launched today by
Phoenix Contact at ACHEMA, the leading worldwide event for the chemical
engineering and process industries.

The new products will provide Phoenix Contact customers with a highly reliable
WirelessHART gateway solution, as well as cost-effective device adapters, to
monitor and validate critical processes in a range of industries, including
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, automotive, petrochemical and power generation.

"We believe Dust Networks is the only company that can provide self-organizing
WirelessHART solutions with the high reliability and low power consumption
critical to our customers` success," said David Skelton, Vice President of
Americas Business Unit, Phoenix Contact GmbH & Co.

"We are excited to have partnered with Phoenix Contact to develop new
WirelessHART products," said Steve Toteda, Vice President of Marketing, Dust
Networks. "WirelessHART provides the reliability of wires with the cost
advantages of wire-free installation and operation, which is increasingly
important to cost- and efficiency-conscious end users."

Phoenix Contact joins a growing list of leading industrial vendors to add
interoperable WirelessHART gateways, field devices, and adapters to their
product lines. Last month, ELPRO Technologies, Emerson, Endress+Hauser,
Pepperl+Fuchs and MACTek launched Dust Networks-enabled products at the
Interkama trade show in Germany.

Dust Networks will be participating in the ACHEMA Instrumentation, Control and
Automation Techniques exhibition group in collaboration with HART Communication
Foundation (HCF) in Hall 10.2, Stand F3-J6.
