1. Identive and WPG Americas Team to Deliver NFC Pairing Solution
for Transferring Medical X-Rays
SAN JOSE and SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, March 12, 2012 – WPG
Americas, Inc. and Identive Group Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE, Frankfurt: INV) today announced
that they have teamed to deliver a near field communications (NFC) solution that allows
data from high-end medical imaging devices to be transferred to multiple exam room
monitors throughout a provider’s office, without cables, wires or additional network
investment.
Digital radiography cameras are rapidly replacing traditional x-ray systems in medical
offices of all sizes, because they expose patients to less radiation, provide higher quality
images and greatly simplify record keeping.
“By making it easier to transfer x-ray images from digital sensors to computer viewing
monitors in multiple exam rooms, we can help doctors, dentists and other healthcare
providers extend the value of this expensive equipment while ensuring the images are
associated with the correct patient,” explained Dave Bowers, VP Supplier Marketing for
WPG Americas. “With their growing portfolio of NFC readers and tags, Identive is
becoming known as the go-to company for NFC solutions. We are excited to continue our
successful collaboration as we work together to extend this NFC pairing solution to other
applications.”
The innovative new solution utilizes NFC tags and readers from Identive with software
from WPG Americas that associates the images from a digital x-ray camera with the
patient records. An NFC tag is affixed to the digital radiography camera. The tag is simply
tapped on one of Identive’s SCL3711 NFC readers that are attached to the computer in
each exam room. The associated software then reconfigures the wireless communication
between the camera and local computer to transmit the x-ray images from the camera and
associate them with the appropriate patient record.
“NFC technology makes it possible to move much of what we do in the physical world to
the virtual world, in a way that is easier and more convenient. In the healthcare market
/More

2. there are dozens of areas that will benefit from the use of NFC, from making treatment
information available to managing patient records. Partnering with WPG Americas on this
NFC transfer solution allowed us to benefit from their extensive understanding of the
medical office environment and their strong engineering expertise,” said Dr. Manfred
Mueller, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of Identive’s ID Infrastructure
division.
