Skytron to Provide Real-Time Location Solutions to Amerinet Members Nationwide

GRAND RAPIDS, MI and SAN DIEGO, CA, Jul 06 (MARKET
WIRE) --
Skytron today announced the addition of Skytron Asset Manager, powered by
Awarepoint, to its Amerinet group purchasing organization supplier
agreement. Amerinet's Total Spend Management Solutions offer margin
improvement tools to providers to create new revenue streams and reduce
expenses. Skytron Asset Manager is a perfect complement to Amerinet's
solution suite, providing a way for hospitals to get more productivity
while spending less. Skytron Asset Manager is the first active RFID-RTLS
solution offered by Amerinet to its members.

"Skytron is extremely excited to partner with Amerinet in bringing RTLS
solutions to their members' hospitals," according to Greg Corban, Skytron
Corporate Accounts Manager. "Skytron Asset Manager will have a direct
impact on each member's bottom line and allow them to utilize their
limited resources to provide the best healthcare possible. Amerinet took
notice of an opportunity to help their member hospitals and moved to
capitalize on those real dollar savings quickly."

Skytron Asset Manager is specifically designed to boost productivity,
lower equipment costs, improve workflows, and optimize utilization of
critical assets. Skytron Asset Manager utilizes Awarepoint's patented
ZigBee wireless sensor network technology that is easy to use and
install, without disruption to patient care or existing IT
infrastructure. Sensors simply plug into electrical outlets to form an
enterprise-wide wireless network. Low-power active RFID tags are attached
to equipment, which can then be located through the enterprise with one
to three meter in-room location accuracy. A comprehensive reporting suite
provides business intelligence about the location, status, movement and
usage of mobile medical equipment. Skytron offers its RTLS as a fully
managed service, providing hardware, software, installation, maintenance
and ongoing support.

Amerinet members now have access to the advantages and benefits of Skytron
Asset Manager such as utilizing the only clinically validated sterilizable
Active RFID-RTLS asset tag on the market today.
