Several industries, such as manufacturing and healthcare, are
already using the Ascom i75 handset and will benefit from this new feature.
The system enables locatable handsets within the coverage area of an existing
enterprise WiFi network, both indoors and outdoors. The solution does not
require any additional infrastructure components, such as additional readers,
antennas or chokepoints.

The new Ascom WS/Ekahau positioning solution will help
organizations locate people in emergencies. For example, in the event of an
accident on a plant floor, the person in need can press the alarm button for
assistance or a "man-down" alarm is automatically sent. The position of the
person carrying the handset will then be accurately revealed and rapid
assistance can be sent.

The open application programmer's interface (API) provides
access to the real-time location information by any software application, and
enables new location-based services, such as "nearest-person-to-task,"
work-flow improvement and asset tracking applications.

"We are very pleased that Ascom WS has selected the Ekahau
WiFi tracking solution, which offers the ability to locate people over any
brand or generation of a standard WiFi network," said Jarmo Ikonen, director
of sales, EMEA-APAC at Ekahau. "The Ascom i75 handsets are robust and
reliable, and are a perfect fit to our tracking system."

"Integrating Ekahau with the Ascom VoWiFi handsets was easy
and straightforward as their system is based on the IEEE 802.11 WiFi
standard," added Henrik Sandberg, product manager at Ascom. "We are very
pleased that we now can offer this secure tracking solution to our customers,
enhancing personal safety for their employees."
