IDENTEC SOLUTIONS Acquires Leading Tunnel Safety Company

LUSTENAU, Austria and KRISTIANSAND, Norway - IDENTEC SOLUTIONS Further Reinforces its Stronghold on the Tunnel,
Oil, Gas and Mining Industry With the Recent Acquisition of the Privately
Held Tunnelcom

Norway based Tunnelcom is well noted for its Automatic Tagging System
(ATS) - an electronic access, passage and safety system. Developed
specifically for the isolated and challenging environments of tunnels and
mines, Tunnelcom’s solutions have been deployed all over the globe - most
recently at the Norra Länken project in Stockholm.

A large and complex tunnel, the Norra Länken project posed a significant
geographical challenge. The myriad of winding and connecting tunnels required
particular consideration when installing the system infrastructure from fiber
optics, WLAN and decentralized servers - complete with Internet connectivity.
The deployment utilizes closed circuit television at all tunnel entrances,
voice enabled communication and alarms as well as IDENTEC SOLUTIONS’
Trailblazer server and WatcherTUNNEL software to deliver a complete system
that provides the ultimate safety solution for all contractors during the
extensive building process. Other Tunnelcom deployments include Zinkgruvan,
Kristineberg and Garpenberg, LKAB, Svea and several more tunnel projects.

The differentiating feature of Tunnelcom’s Automated Tagging System is
that its focus is solely on personnel safety. Initially a technology partner,
Tunnelcom has been utilizing IDENTEC SOLUTIONS robust tags in their ATS
deployments since 2003.

“Our strength is in our ability to offer complete, scalable, and highly
reliable systems to specific industries.” states Gerhard Schedler, IDENTEC
SOLUTIONS CEO. “We identified Tunnelcom as a strong safety solution provider
to the burgeoning mining and tunnel industries, and a strong strategic fit to
further our leadership position within this market.”

IDENTEC SOLUTIONS is the global leader in wireless track and locate
solutions that include intelligent long-range active RFID technology.
