Swisscom and Mojix® Team to Deliver Breakthrough RFID Solution
August 24, 2009, Los Angeles, CA — Mojix® and Swisscom Auto-ID Services AG today announced an agreement for Swisscom to provide systems integration services for the Mojix STAR™ system, the revolutionary UHF passive RFID system that brings unprecedented levels of precision, scalability and return-on-investment to radio frequency identification applications. Under the agreement, Swisscom will offer consulting, system integration services and support as part of the Swisscom Auto-ID service platform, and the two companies will collaborate on market development efforts for Swisscom’s Managed Auto-ID services in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy.
“We are excited to leverage the superior power, utility and economics of the Mojix STAR system as part of the Swisscom AUTO-ID service platform” said Werner Friedli, CEO of Swisscom Auto-ID Services AG “Sensor and RFID technology are key for transforming logistics and supply chain management.
“As a leading provider of a comprehensive range of telecom and IT products and services, including large scale RFID deployments, and an industry leader in managed services, Swisscom is well suited to provide services for Mojix products,” said Roelof Koopmans, Managing Director Europe of Mojix Inc.” Swisscom leads in innovation of new business models and services. We look forward to providing these breakthrough solutions to our mutual customers.”
Thanks to state-of-the-art Auto-ID methods, Swisscom Auto-ID Services AG can deliver superior solutions for optimizing supply chain, asset and life cycle management and many other applications for all industry segments.
Developed by noted experts in deep space communications, the Mojix STAR™ system breaks through the economic and technical barriers to ubiquitous RFID deployment, enabling organizations to deploy a single, cost effective, EPC/ETSI/ISO standards based system to address the full spectrum of supply chain management and real-time location and asset tracking needs.
The STAR system enables organizations to realize greater benefits from passive RFID, and opens the door to ubiquitous visibility of goods and assets. A single Mojix STAR system handles multiple concurrent applications across an entire warehouse, retail complex, distribution center, transportation yard or other large contiguous space with a single point of data collection and management. These applications are not limited to traditional RFID tag reads, but can also include numerous other high-value functions in a passive ETSI-compliant RFID environment such as real-time location estimation and tracking, virtual fences and electronic proof-of-delivery. This in turn greatly extends the utility of passive RFID while allowing for even faster and greater returns on investment.
