ELK RIVER, Minn.--(Business Wire)--
Cymbet Corporation today announced that it has been honored with a Sensors`
"Best of Sensors Expo 2009" bronze award. Cymbet won this award for its EnerChip
EH CBC5300 energy harvesting module which is a key enabler for autonomous
wireless sensor networks. 

The Sensors "Best of Sensors Expo" awards honor the most exciting new products
that were on display at the Sensors Expo & Conference, which took place June
8-9, 2009, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill. All
entries were judged on the basis of potential impact, application,
distinctiveness, timeliness and availability. 

The Cymbet EnerChip EH CBC5300 module is an advanced micro energy harvesting
solution that efficiently captures energy from photovoltaic cells and other
energy harvesting transducers, stores the energy and manages power distribution
to the rest of the device. At the heart of this 24-pin DIP module is the
EnerChip thin-film battery that offers a truly unique combination in battery
technology: fast charge times, >5000 recharges, reflow solderable and
eco-friendliness. With a small form factor, the highly rechargeable,
solid-state, thin-film EnerChip battery can be economically and reliably
integrated as an embedded device or as a surface-mounted component. 

Judges for the Sensors awards were comprised of the magazine`s editorial staff,
members of the editorial advisory board, and industry experts including Melanie
Martella, executive editor of Sensors who said, "The awards program recognizes
cutting-edge solutions in the sensors marketplace. All of the nominations
demonstrated exceptional innovation, integration and ease-of-use. We believe
this year`s winners will be leaders in the sensors marketplace and offer our
congratulations to the companies recognized." 

"We are honored to receive this prestigious Best of Show award from Sensors,"
said Bill Priesmeyer Cymbet President and CEO. "This recognition is another
validation that our EnerChips are a key enabler in energy harvesting-based
devices, embedded electronics and wireless sensor applications. We are looking
forward to working with our customers to bring exciting new products to market."
