    - Earlier this week, Ekahau introduced three new tags that

    changes in the environment could be harmful.

    - Interactive Demonstrations - Visit the eight stations at the booth to
    see the Ekahau solutions in action. You can see how the Ekahau RTLS
    (real-time location system) can be used for asset tracking, temperature 
    and humidity monitoring, staff safety, infection control, patient 
    tracking and wireless sensing. Other stations in the booth will focus on 
    solutions designed specifically for the government market, as well as 
    Ekahau Site Survey, a simple-to-use software tool for professional 
    Wi-Fi (WLAN) network planning, site surveys, and administration. Ekahau 
    also will showcase an integrated asset tracking and management system 
    that combines the power of RTLS with passive RFID and barcodes for a 
    complete enterprise-wide asset tracking and management solution.

Ekahau will also be leading an Exhibitor Solutions Session on Monday, February 21, from 3:30 p.m.-4:15 p.m. Join Tuomo Rutanen, Ekahau's senior vice president of business development, and Shawn Worthman, vice president at GOJO Industries, to learn more about "Infection Control - Use Wi-Fi, RFID and RTLS to Battle the Bugs ( http://www.himssconference.org/exhibition/pavilionsessiondetail.aspx?ppsid=313)."
