TORONTO, May 22 /CNW/ - SAMSys Technologies Inc., (SMY:ME) (www.samsys.com) of Toronto, Canada, a provider of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader hardware, and GLOBAL ID Technologies Ltd. of Attalens, Switzerland, a worldwide supplier of RFID components, products and identification solutions, have signed a technological and international marketing partnership agreement. "This agreement has significant opportunities for us because it dramatically opens expanded European marketing channels that positively impact our international initiatives through inherent relationships with other network partners," says SAMSys Chairman/CEO Cliff Horwitz. "As a member of GLOBAL ID's vendor network, we now have technological access to other alliance companies like Sokymat, a converter of low frequency tags that incorporates chips from multiple sources. Through this alliance, our readers will be enabled to communicate with Sokymat's transponders and will allow us to add several new protocols to our growing library." SAMSys has developed a reader architecture that supports its unique multi- protocol/multi-frequency platform capable of sensing and reading RFID tags at various frequencies and overcoming the lack of standards currently employed around the world. "As the latest member of our alliance, we are proud to have SAMSys and its technical team on board because they have emerged as a clear world leader in developing passive RFID reader hardware technology designed to support the broadest possible array of protocols and frequencies," adds GLOBAL ID's President Phil Calderbank. "We firmly believe RFID is poised to make a strategic impact for tracking materials/goods as they move through the supply chain, but the lack of standards has slowed its introduction. With SAMSys' multi-protocol/frequency readers now available, mixing tag types, frequencies and protocols to achieve optimum performance has become a non-issue. Operators can install RFID solutions capable of sensing and tracking tags from a variety of suppliers without the risk of short-term obsolescence." "As we said earlier this year, we are now seeing clear evidence of a market that is maturing and ready for significant growth," says Horwitz. "This alliance with GLOBAL ID and its coalition network demonstrates there is an increasing trend of cooperation involving major players within the RFID industry resulting in the breaking down of traditional barriers created through former reliance on proprietary technologies."
