MELBOURNE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 25, 1997--
Integrates Micron Technology to Broaden Application of FotoTag
Airport System
Exigent International, Inc. (CHX: XNT, XNTWS; OBB:XGNT, XGNTW)
today announced its FotoTag, Inc. subsidiary has introduced
FotoTag(TM) ActiveTracking Engine(TM). The new system facilitates
tracking and control of people and objects in a wide range of
environments. The first generation of FotoTag(TM) tracked passengers
and their luggage from flight check-in to aircraft boarding.
A patent application for the new FotoTag(TM) ActiveTracking
Engine(TM) has been filed.
This Microsoft(R) Windows(R) 95 and Windows(R) NT based system is
user friendly and promotes flexibility and expandability to other
application domains. It is capable of performing such diverse
functions as passenger/baggage reconciliation and tracking the
movement of people and goods in the manufacturing environment. It
also shows exceptional promise for financial transaction automation,
materials handling control, personnel ID and access control, and
retail automation.
FotoTag(TM) ActiveTracking Engine(TM) features the integration
with Micron Communications' MicroStamp(R) Remote Integrated Circuit
(RIC) technology. The MicroStamp is a very small, high-performance,
high-frequency, low cost unit based on the MicroStamp integrated
circuit.
Management was not specific about the potential market for
ActiveTracking Engine(TM) but has said the original FotoTag(TM)
passenger/baggage reconciliation system alone could have a market
potential for thousands of airports worldwide.
