Q. Who is Sonitor Technologies?
A. Sonitor Technologies is a leading provider of Real Time Location System (RTLS) solutions and develops, manufactures and supplies a proprietary ultrasound indoor positioning system (IPS) that automatically tracks with 100% room or sub-room accuracy the real-time location of moveable equipment and people in complex indoor environments, such as hospitals. Sonitor Technologies' RTLS technology is designed for seamless integration with third party applications software and integration solutions.

Q. How does the Sonitor IPS work?
A. The Sonitor system uses wireless detectors and "Tags" that are linked to a digital file containing all vital statistics and information about the item or person being monitored. The motion activated Tag transmits a unique identification signal using ultrasound waves to detectors that use Sonitor patented Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms, which transmit signals via an existing LAN to a central computer that stores the information about the Tag's room-location and the time of receipt of the signal.

Q. What are the advantages of the Sonitor IPS?
A. Ultrasound signals will by nature confines themselves to the room where they originate, making room identification and accuracy virtually fail-proof. This is different from radio-signals, which penetrate walls and as a result only can provide zone accuracy.

Sonitor patented DSP algorithms ensure that detectors interpret Tag signals without risk of interference from any environmental noise or other signals.

Sensitive hospital instruments do not sense ultrasound waves; consequently, there is no risk of interference as may be the case with transmissions from sources using radio frequency.

Q. How does the Sonitor IPS compare to its competitors?
A. Many organizations are involved in similar IPS initiatives, with most utilizing active radio frequency identification ("RFID") technology. Transmissions from sources using radio frequency can penetrate walls, and therefore, only can provide zone accuracy. The Sonitor IPS utilizes ultrasound signals, which confine themselves to the room where they originate and therefore can pinpoint an exact location.

Q. Where is Sonitor located?
A. Sonitor is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, with its U.S. subsidiary located in Largo, Florida.
