Bluesoft, Inc. Rebrands as AeroScout... New Platform Brings Valuable Location and Positioning Applications to Multiple Industries

San Mateo, Calif. – June 16, 2004 – AeroScout, formerly Bluesoft, today announced the release of the MobileView enterprise visibility platform. MobileView enables software developers and end users to take advantage of a wide range of visibility tools that utilize time difference of arrival (TDOA) location, presence and active RFID data to create value-added solutions in enterprises. With MobileView, industries from health care to manufacturing to retail can easily integrate applications for real-time tracking of mobile assets such as PDAs, forklifts, medical devices and even people.

"The variety of industries and uses for visibility solutions is astounding, but there is a common set of tools that application developers and system integrators need," said AeroScout CEO and co-founder Yuval Bar-Gil. "With MobileView, developers now have a platform with tools for turning positioning data into valuable visibility information."

MobileView is designed as an open development platform to enable easy integration with a variety of third party applications. The product is comprised of the following server and client software:

MobileView Server, the core server, leverages positioning data about Wi-Fi devices and AeroScout active RFID tags received from the AeroScout Engine, and adds a variety of visibility functions. These include Microsoft and Sybase SQL database storage support, location history, named zone creation, asset naming and categorization, as well as reporting. These tools enable administrators to manage asset properties and types as well as set up and configure named zones that are easier to work with in applications than location coordinates.

MobileView Manager, the administrator client application, provides a GUI for management of one or more server modules; and

Mobile Viewer, an intuitive Web-based client application, enables end users to search for and display assets on any browser.

The Company also announced today the re-branding of Bluesoft as AeroScout, to reflect the Company's focus on enterprise visibility solutions. MobileView is currently available for purchase as part of the AeroScout suite of enterprise visibility solutions.
