:MTKN), developer of smart wireless security networks, has completed its first release of the iRFID, an Intelligent RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) A data collection technology that uses electronic tags for storing data. The tag, also known as an "electronic label," "transponder" or "code plate," is made up of an RFID chip attached to an antenna.  for placement inside shipping containers and on shipping pallets to keep track of and report any disturbance or environmental change.

When interrogated, these Talker[R]-based units can report details about the shipment including freight manifest, consignment, ownership, source and contents along with a time-stamped event log.

. The iRFID can reside in storage for long periods of time while reporting periodically to monitors in the area.

This particular unit has gained HERO approval so that it can be used to monitor "controlled" explosives. Other product variations will be housed in NEMA NEMA National Electrical Manufacturers Association

 enclosures for location in dangerous atmospheres as well.

The Company's wireless security products are for use in unattended remote applications where intelligence is needed to monitor the environment for harmful changes, to log events in real-time, make decisions and report details about the items being monitored. MachineTalkers automatically form a mesh network with nearby units and may share information with adjacent Talkers by radio and with Wide Area Networks like the Internet.

Priced at $300 in small quantities, every unit can be programmed for one type of shipment and then reprogrammed for another application. Price is subject to quantity purchase discount for fleets of shipping containers, or large numbers of pallets where cargo is to be identified and monitored. In one application the purpose of a smaller version will be to keep a history of temperature change in a carton of smallpox vaccine smallpox vaccine

 to assure efficacy over time in transit and in storage.

HERO stands for Hazard of Electromagnetic Radiation electromagnetic radiation, energy radiated in the form of a wave as a result of the motion of electric charges. A moving charge gives rise to a magnetic field, and if the motion is changing (accelerated), then the magnetic field varies and in turn produces an  to Ordnance, and is an assessment process that seeks to assure that any product that transmits radio frequency electromagnetic energy is not capable of accidental actuation of electro-explosive devices like fuses, or otherwise electrically activating ordnance.

NEMA, the National Electrical Manufacturer's Association, provides standards to be met by electrical equipment in harsh environments to enable consumers to select from a range of safe, effective, and compatible electrical products.
