Saratoga, CA, February 24th, 2005 - EKAHAU INC. today announced a new partner program, Located by Ekahau (LBE). Ekahau partners signing into the program will get free access and distribution rights to Ekahau client software and source code. By adding the Ekahau software to Wi-Fi devices, such as wireless VOIP phones, specialty PDAs, or wireless hospital devices, these devices can be accurately tracked within the Wi-Fi coverage area by using the Ekahau Positioning Engine system.

Ekahau is leading the Wi-Fi RTLS (Real Time Location System) market with its award winning Positioning Engine software and Wi-Fi tag solutions, which work with any standard Wi-Fi networks. Unlike competing TDOA or active RFID solutions, Ekahau does not require installation of any overlay infrastructure, antennas or sensors, but can be deployed as a software-based solution over existing Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi RTLS enables several location-based services, such as asset and people tracking, enterprise resource and workflow management, as well as locating devices during wireless E911 calls. The Ekahau RTLS solution is targeted for indoor and campus areas where GPS does not perform adequately.

"The enterprise location-tracking market is going through a very rapid expansion," said Mr. Antti Korhonen, President and CEO, Ekahau, Inc. "The market demand for Wi-Fi based asset and people tracking solutions in healthcare and manufacturing industries is just tremendous right now. The Ekahau LBE program is feeding this growth, and securing Ekahau's position as the de-facto Wi-Fi location standard. Just by adding the Ekahau location client to the Wi-Fi device, our partners can now go and promote their wireless product as 'location-aware'. This is a free added value to our partners."

In addition to enabling location tracking for mobile Windows devices, the LBE program includes source code for any ANSI C-language compliant device. Says Mr. Arttu Huhtiniemi, Director, Product Management, Ekahau, Inc: "We give freedom to our partners to choose if they want to use our own standard Windows, Linux or Palm -clients, or instead build their own embedded drivers by using our reference code library. As the code base is very small, less than 60kB, practically any mobile Wi-Fi device can now easily be location-enabled."
