FREEHOLD, New Jersey, May 7 /PRNewswire/ --

- GainSpan's Ultra Low-Power Wi-Fi SoC at Heart of Temperature Monitoring
Solution

Aginova Inc., a manufacturer of specialized wireless subsystems, today
announced the industry's first Wi-Fi cold storage monitor that provides up to
5-10 years of battery life. The SentinelPro offers the most advanced Wi-Fi
sensing hardware, a portable alarm unit, and a comprehensive software package
for monitoring, reporting, and storing of critical storage condition data
over time.

SentinelPro is based on GainSpan Corporation's(TM) ultra-low power GS1010
Wi-Fi SoC and is able to leverage the existing ubiquitous Wi-Fi network. As a
result, the new temperature monitoring solution provides the security,
manageability, convenience and benefits of Wi-Fi along with 5-10 years of
extended battery life.

With SentinelPro, authorized personnel can view precise data over
enterprise class security links, and provide alerts in the event that
environmental conditions vary beyond a specified range. The system can page,
email and visually alert any computer screen whenever food, lab samples,
pharmaceuticals or other temperature sensitive items are outside prescribed
parameters.

Utilizing Wi-Fi for temperature monitoring enables a cost effective way
to improve patient care and maintain regulatory compliance while providing
automated and detailed reports on any piece of equipment for any time period
for JCAHO, AOA, CAP, FDA, USDA or the Health Department. In addition, it can
also provide temperature logs, operating parameters, alarms and corrective
actions to be taken while eliminating human error and the cost of manual
temperature documentation.

Ashok Sabata, CEO of Aginova, commented, "We had been using Zigbee, a
non-standard wireless communications protocol, but with GainSpan we've been
able to develop and get products to market much more quickly than ever
before. And, because we're tapping into the existing infrastructure,
installing and maintaining our products is relatively cheap -- we've cut
costs exponentially."

The temperature monitoring products are available from US$100 to US$300
depending on the quantity and temperature range. The software, developed by
Aginova, is available in two packages: enterprise grade for integration into
a customer's automation system or as a service running on Aginova secure
servers.
