New Program Enables Customers to Discover Benefits of Enterprise-Grade, Wi-Fi-based Location Tracking Solution

RESTON, Virginia, February 4 - Ekahau Inc., the worldwide performance leader in Wi-Fi-based Real Time
Location Systems (RTLS), today announced a new program that provides
customers with an easy, risk-free way to take advantage of the benefits of
enterprise-grade, Wi-Fi-based location tracking applications within their
organizations. The Ekahau Zero-Risk System Guarantee - a first of its kind in
the industry - will allow customers to purchase and use the Ekahau RTLS
system, and receive their money back if they are not satisfied with the
solution's performance.

"When organizations are investigating the various RFID, RTLS and other
location tracking technologies on the market today, small, localized pilots
of those solutions often do not provide a clear picture of how the system
would work when installed campuswide, or what cost overruns for additional
infrastructure may arise," said Tuomo Rutanen, senior vice president of
Worldwide Marketing and Business Development at Ekahau. "Unlike other
providers, Ekahau can offer customers peace of mind that the Ekahau RTLS
solution will work as promised. We have the tools to predict the performance
of the system before a single tag is deployed. In addition, we offer the
market-leading location tracking solution that operates on and integrates
with the existing Wi-Fi network. All of this is accomplished without the need
for more sensors, cabling, exciters and readers to be installed."

Ekahau's Wi-Fi-based RTLS system is known in the industry for its
superior performance and ability to provide reliable and consistent location
accuracy. Ekahau RTLS is entirely software-based, making it easy to deploy
and scale across large campuses or over multi-campus installations because it
leverages a customer's existing Wi-Fi infrastructure. Even with marginal
Wi-Fi coverage, Ekahau RTLS is able to provide superior performance,
according to the results of comparisons with competing systems performed by
Ekahau customers and other third parties. Ekahau's in-depth expertise in RF
signal processing and its broad portfolio of Wi-Fi patents form the basis of
Ekahau RTLS.

Since the Ekahau RTLS system performance is predicated on the layout of
the customer's existing Wi-Fi network, the Ekahau Site Survey (ESS) tool is
used to measure and analyze the Wi-Fi network layout and topology to ensure
sufficient Wi-Fi coverage before installation. ESS is used by most of the
major wireless LAN vendors to plan and troubleshoot their networks today, so
it can also easily identify any network issues should there be any. Ekahau's
innovative heat-mapping technology and RF algorithms create
easy-to-understand visual performance reports on the network, which enables
Ekahau to guarantee the performance of its RTLS solution. The same tools can
be used to give the customer visibility into various other network
performance-related factors and provides information for optimizing voice,
data and video services over the same network.

The Ekahau Zero-Risk System Guarantee is available to all new customers.
Prior to installation, Ekahau will conduct a site audit in order to develop a
comprehensive performance report, which will serve as the basis of the
system's performance guarantee. Once the system is installed, a customer will
have 30 days to review the system, ensuring that it performs as promised.
Should the customer find any faults with the system, Ekahau will fix the
problems at no cost or refund the cost of the system.
