Ismaning, Germany, October 4, 2011 (euro adhoc) - SCM Microsystems, a
leading provider of solutions for secure access, secure identity and
secure exchange and a business unit of Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:
INVE, Frankfurt: INV), today announced the launch of a new
high-performance UHF (ultra high frequency) desktop reader designed
especially for retail and specialty tracking environments. Sold under
SCM´s ARYGON brand, the new AUDR-USB delivers a compact, desktop
package for close-range applications such as point-of-sale checkout
and on-the-shelf inventory management at an attractive price.

"Passive UHF technology is gaining importance for asset management in
high-volume applications such as warehouse inventory management and
logistics tracking because of its small form factor and low cost of
ownership. In response to demand from systems integrators for a UHF
reader suitable for smaller areas and more targeted reads, we have
developed a compact desktop UHF reader that offers short-range
reading distance," said Michael Ganzera, Vice President Business
Development & Marketing for SCM Microsystems. "As the first in a
series of planned UHF offerings, this new ARYGON reader is an
important addition to our portfolio of RFID products and accessories
and supports the latest trends and chip generations for UHF desktop
applications."

The ARYGON AUDR-USB UHF reader Compliant with ISO 18000-6 and the EPC
Gen 2 standard for passive UHF RFID, the innovative ARYGON AUDR-USB
provides excellent price performance for close-range applications.
Communicating via USB device protocol, the reader is easily
integrated into existing PC-based tracking systems and POS terminals.
A slim form factor makes it ideal for integration into a variety of
environments including tag production, testing and initialization
systems. The AUDR-USB supports all globally-used UHF frequency bands
and is EPC Class 1 Gen 2 6c and b compliant. UHF chips supported
include NXP Semiconductors´ UCODE and Monza chips from IMPINJ. The
AUDR-USB has been tested to comply with FCC regulations. A test and
integration kit (AUDR-USB-TIK) that includes a reader, test software
and USB source code is immediately available for application
developers and system integrators.

Under its ARYGON brand, SCM offers a range of contactless
reader/writer modules, desktop products and accessories including
smart cards, key fobs and wristbands.
