ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 30, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PrismOne Group, Inc. (OTCBB:PMOZ), a provider of managed technology services to targeted vertical market clients with either a high number of employees, multi-locations or growth challenges, is pleased to announce that it has chosen Axcess International Inc. (OTCBB:AXSI), a leading provider of Dual-Active(TM) Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and Real Time Location Systems (RTLS) solutions, as the supplier of RFID technology for PrismOne's pilot of the company's Presence Response and Intelligent Systems Management (PRISM).

PRISM will enable real time, dynamic analysis of a building environment through the use of Presence tracking to modify environmental systems. PRISM will manage and control use-sensitive systems such as lighting, HVAC and other systems to maximize energy efficiency and lower a user's and subsequently a building's carbon footprint. PRISM will be integrated into PrismOne's web-based interface as an additional module and integrated with the existing communications and network modules.

Samir Burshan, CEO of PrismOne, states, "I was educated as an architect and feel very strongly about building sustainability. In our capacity to develop technology solutions, I wanted to provide a way to answer the frustrating questions of why lights in an empty space are left on, or an AC is cranked down to 72 degrees or a TV or stereo is on when there is no one there -- anywhere! RFID is just one component of PRISM but an important one. We didn't make this decision quickly. We wanted to find the right technology for our solution, and, after one year of searching, reviewing and re-reviewing our short list, we feel that Axcess is the best company to partner with to provide us that technology."

"Our MicroWireless technology automatically tells you where your personnel and assets are throughout a facility," said Allan Griebenow, President and CEO of Axcess International Inc. "We are uniquely qualified for presence determination because our wireless credentials and asset tags are very small, economical and reliable compared to other options. Interacting dynamically with the building's energy management system will mean energy will be used most efficiently. With such a rapid increase in demand for green building solutions, we are very excited to support the PrismOne effort."

Asset Management for Automotive, Defense, Healthcare, and Transportation Vertical Markets Closed loop applications, including asset management and work in process tracking, have been part of the overall RFID market for more than five years. Recently active RFID vendors have faced some new competition from Wi-Fi-based location system providers. The asset management market has also received greater media attention and general interest over the past year. This study focuses on the market for active, rather than passive, tag systems. ABI Research analyzes the impact Wi-Fi vendors will have on the market, and explains the differences between active RFID and Wi-Fi systems. Both applications and vertical markets are discussed in this study. Quantitative market analysis is also provided: shipments are broken down by frequency and technology; revenues are also reported for tags, readers, software, and services.
