Sisvel and RFID Consortium Offer Limited Extension of Royalty Discounts for UHF RFID Licensing

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, May 24, 2011 -

- Early Adopter Rates Now Available Until November 30, 2011

Sisvel US and the RFID Consortium today announced a limited extension of
the "early adopter" discount royalty rates offered under the Consortium's UHF
RFID licensing program. Launched on August 31, 2010, the licensing program
included an initial early adopter period that expired at the end of March
2011. Based on the number of ongoing license negotiations, the Consortium is
now announcing a one-time extension of these discount rates to those
licensees that enter into patent portfolio licenses on or before November 30,
2011.

The UHF RFID Licensing Program is a joint effort by 3M; ETRI; France
Telecom; HP; LG Electronics; Motorola Solutions; Trimble Navigation Limited -
ThingMagic Division; and Zebra Technologies to promote rapid adoption of UHF
RFID technology by creating a single license to a portfolio that includes all
their patents essential to the EPCglobal and ISO/IEC standards for UHF RFID.
This provides a convenient and economical way for UHF RFID developers and
manufacturers, as well as firms interested in adding UHF RFID functionality
to other products, to license essential patents in a single transaction.

"The program's early adopter discounts have generated substantial
interest, and this extension will give licensees one additional opportunity
to lock in the lowest available rates," said Giustino de Sanctis, Chairman of
Sisvel US. The program's early adopter rates can bring the royalty rate for
UHF RFID label products to as little as $.80 per one thousand units and the
rate for UHF RFID readers to as low as $5.00 per unit. In all cases,
effective rates may vary based on volume and require execution of a license
agreement, which contains other terms and conditions, on or before November
30, 2011. Full details of these terms and the license agreement can be
obtained from Sisvel.

Participation in the UHF RFID licensing program and the RFID Consortium
remains open to all holders of essential patents, regardless of whether they
were involved in the development of RFID standards. Parties interested in
obtaining a portfolio license or learning about the patent submission process
are encouraged to contact Sisvel's representative Sean Corey at
