6 Worldwide Acceptance WiFi b 11mbs WiFi g MHz No Worldwide 54mbs WiFi n MHz Worldwide 300mbs MHz and/ or 2009

7 Worldwide Proliferation Global public WiFi hotspot numbers set to grow from 1.3 million in 2011, to 5.8 million by 2015: a 350% increase per Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), compiled by Informa. Source centre/press releases news/latest News/Wifi hotspots set to more than triple by 2015/

8 Applications Hospitals, Pharmacies, Labs Maintain temp logs of refrigerators, freezers and cryogenic chambers for JCAHO compliance Advanced notification of equipment malfunction Foodservice Maintain temp logs of dairy cases, refrigerators and freezers for Health Dept compliance Specialty probes measure food temperature Advanced notification of equipment malfunction Smart Buildings Energy costs reduced by controlled ventilation based on occupancy Monitor and report energy consumption with automated gas, water and electric meter sensors

9 Ultra Low Power WiFi Technology Many WiFi Options Development work began in 2007 on new Ultra Low Power WiFi sensor family Shipped first products December 2007 to Honeywell for install at Texas Children's Hospital Migrated to ULP g in 2009 Introduced WiFi data loggers in 2011 Incorporated CCX (Cisco Compatibility Extensions) capability in 2013 Added PEAP Enterprise support in 2014 $50 $40 $30 $20 $10 $0 Price of WiFi Modules

10 WiFi Sensors Transmit Data Directly To Access Points Access Points Condenser / Cooler Temp Cooler Temp Differential Pressure Cloud Services Temperature / Humidity Sealed Temperature CO2

11 Refrigerator/Freezer Monitoring Text and alerts save money, protect the brand and safeguard the consumer. $7,500 Saved Advanced notification of cooler failure prevented loss of 250 cases of chicken. $5,200 Loss Prevented Notification of cooler door left open at closing time averted a $5200 loss of inventory. Without the alert when in doubt, throw it out would apply.

12 Condenser Monitoring Normal Operation Proper cycling Discharge and ambient equal during off cycle Less than a 20 0 delta between discharge and ambient Condenser coils unobstructed Note: Delta of more than 20 0 indicates the need to clean coils.

13 Condenser Monitoring Improper Cycling Condenser working overtime Excessive energy usage Premature failure Service call needed

14 Advantages of WiFi ALREADY a proven industry standard wireless technology True interoperability Off the shelf hardware Robust communications Integration versus Overlay Strategy Lower cost of ownership No need to convince the site to install yet another wireless infrastructure Becoming Ubiquitous Common Platforms no need for Multiple Device Types Eliminates the need for Coordinators, Routers, Repeaters or Receivers Easier, less costly deployments Lower maintenance costs Ride the wave of Advancements, Product Innovation by Intel, Cisco, et al
