Why ReFLEX™ Reliability-Engineered for Data FLEX, one way paging, invented by Motorola 35 years ago system engineered for data, not voice ReFLEX™, two way paging, developed in the 1990s two way paging connected remote devices Device to device telemetry module introduced in 1999 connecting remote devices and the Internet Provides for assured messaging If it can be delivered, it will be delivered Data error correction Messages stored in queue for up to 72 hours If message not delivered, you will know No competition from other protocols on a ReFLEX™ network
7
Robust Excellent in Building Penetration ReFLEX™ networks “simulcast” from towers to the ReFLEX™ devices Each device is serviced by multiple sites transmitting in unison (75 – 500 watt transmitters) Robust ReFLEX™ networks employ “macro-diversity” on the path from the devices to the network Many sites hear the transmission of a single device Approximately 1 watt transmission Extremely sensitive network equipment

Hardware Cost Initial Capital Cost Hardware Multiple deployed applications Several manufacturers – competition Existing and deployed networks Web-based automated meter reading and load shedding, site security devices currently available

Airtime Cost Ongoing Cost AirtimeAirtime Competition in the technology and between carriers keeps data prices stay lowCompetition in the technology and between carriers keeps data prices stay low Recurrent airtime prices for as little as $1.00 per month per deviceRecurrent airtime prices for as little as $1.00 per month per device quantity airtime based upon number of devices in servicequantity airtime based upon number of devices in service Typical costs for low volume, low airtime usage accounts is $2 – 3 monthlyTypical costs for low volume, low airtime usage accounts is $2 – 3 monthly

Data Integration Cost SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Out of the box, every ReFLEX™ unit has an email address. Simple message routing using well known standard protocol WCTP - Wireless Communications Transfer Protocol XML based for easy integration Free Support from Wireless Carriers Enterprise class connections for FREE! Open protocol – www.wctp.orgwww.wctp.org

Wireless Comparisons
14
In Review ReFLEX™ is: Built and engineered for two-way data Reliable and robust Built for in and out of building use Wireless coverage where 95% of the population are located Lowest cost public wireless network from an airtime and hardware cost perspective
