Magellan Exhibits at OMTEC

Chicago – 4 July, 2008 – At the recent Orthopaedic Manufacturing & Technology Exposition and Conference (OMTEC) held in Chicago in June 2008 Magellan showcased its Phase Jitter Modulation RFID read and write 13.56MHz technology.

Applications demonstrated included solutions for Microscope Slide tracking and Document Management, as well as demonstrations of the Orthopaedic Mixed Tote application in which a bag with many items (replicating implants and randomly placed) is read as it passes through a tunnel reader.

Ken Laing, VP of Sales and Marketing for Magellan, stated that:

“Magellan’s PJM is the dominant RFID in this market and we have successfully implemented the technology for a number of clients. The big difference with Magellan is that the technology works in the field just like the demonstration and Proof of Concept”.

Magellan expects the global roll out of the technology in this vertical market to continue for the next 2-3 years providing a good profitable business to complement the gaming market
                                   
About Magellan Technology
Magellan Technology is a technology developer, manufacturer and licensor of advanced read and write 13.56 MHz RFID systems. They design and offer RFID chip inlets and a complete reader portfolio using Phase Jitter Modulation (PJM) technology, which complies with the International Standard ISO/IEC 18000 Part 3 Mode 2. PJM technology is more than 10 times faster than other existing HF technologies.  The PJM StackTag® is unique in its capability to identify, read and write RFID tags even when they are deeply stacked together. PJM products are optimized for applications where many hundreds of tags are stacked tightly or need to be identified reliably in fast moving dynamic situations where tags are presented in all orientations. Magellan licenses its PJM technology worldwide. For additional information about Magellan, visit www.magellan-rfid.com.
