Flagler Hospital Selects Ekahau RTLS to Power Multiple Location Tracking Applications

Wi-Fi-Based Location Tracking Technology Chosen for Superior Performance, Ease of Use and Broader Range of Solutions

RESTON, Virginia, January 12 - Ekahau Inc., the worldwide performance leader in Wi-Fi-based Real Time
Location Systems (RTLS), today announced that Flagler Hospital, a 316-bed
acute care hospital in St. Augustine, Fla., has selected Ekahau RTLS in a
competitive evaluation based on performance and functionality required by
Flagler for a variety of hospital-wide asset tracking, work-flow and
management applications.

"In a matter of hours, Ekahau was able to set up a demonstration of its
RTLS solution and they showed us how their solution could be leveraged for a
wide range of applications that would provide increased benefits and improved
ROI for the hospital long into the future," said Chris Mele, Administrator of
Supply Chain Management at Flagler Hospital. "We considered multiple vendors
for Asset tracking and are confident the Ekahau system will be a success for
Flagler Hospital".

Ekahau RTLS is a software-based real time location system that can track
the location of tagged assets over any generation or brand of
enterprise-grade Wi-Fi network. Flagler Hospital utilizes a campus-wide
wireless LAN from Cisco Systems Inc. for a variety of clinical and IT
applications. Now that same Wi-Fi network can be leveraged by Ekahau RTLS to
support Flagler Hospital's equipment inventory control and utilization,
tracking several thousand clinical assets such as infusion pumps and patient
monitors as well as IT assets. Flagler Hospital expects that it will add more
location-based applications, including staff and patient location tracking
and temperature monitoring, in the near future, supporting an even greater
return on its investment in the Cisco wireless network and Ekahau RTLS.

RTLS system performance is typically measured by two key parameters:
accuracy and latency. Ekahau's patented RF algorithms coupled with a unique
calibration methodology deliver accuracy down to room level. And because it
is certified by and operates over Cisco Wi-Fi networks, which provide
real-time communications, Ekahau RTLS is able to transmit and process
location data within seconds.

Hospitals commonly use Wi-Fi networks for data and voice communications.
Ekahau was the first company to develop a software-based location tracking
application that can be quickly and easily deployed over any Wi-Fi network,
without the need for additional infrastructure, such as readers, cabling,
choke points and exciters. Now Ekahau RTLS has become the de facto location
tracking solution for hundreds of health care organizations around the world.
Ekahau RTLS has proven that it is capable of powering even the most demanding
operational and clinical applications and does not interfere with medical
equipment like other RFID-based technologies have been shown to do. And,
because it is WiFi-based, the Ekahau RTLS system does not require putting
separate tags on many wireless devices, such as infusion pumps and monitors,
that have integrated Wi-Fi communications.

"Hospitals are complex environments that can introduce several challenges
to an average tracking system. For example, they often have many small rooms
and complex layouts - all of which impede or distort tracking system signals.
And they often have thousands of assets and people that could move anywhere
across a massive campus," said Tuomo Rutanen, senior vice president of
Worldwide Marketing and Business Development for Ekahau. "Unlike other
solutions, Ekahau RTLS thrives in this kind of complex environment. The
combination of its performance and accuracy, with monitoring, work-flow
automation and reporting tools, provides the visibility that hospitals need
to ensure that their location tracking application delivers the operational
efficiencies promised."
