LITTLE FALLS, NJ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 07/10/08 -- mPhase Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: XDSL),and its subsidiary AlwaysReady, Inc., today announced that development oftheir Smart NanoBattery is expected to position the company for entry intothe sensor network market. The key feature of the technology that is beingexplored is the wireless activation capability, by which individual sensorsor the entire network could be remotely activated at will via aradiofrequency (RF) signal.The ability for the user to activate the Smart NanoBattery at will is knownas Power on Command(TM). While all methods of activating the SmartNanoBattery benefit from this feature, wireless activation in particularoffers an additional benefit -- the user is not required to be physicallypresent or to have a pre-developed wired system in order to initiate power.This is a significant advantage over conventional batteries which usuallydo not permit precise user control over when or where the battery operationbegins. It is especially valuable in situations where reliable power iscritical, and where access to a remote area may be difficult. It could alsobe applied in cases where numerous devices need to be activatedsimultaneously.
Sensor networks, which consist of multiple autonomous devices workingtogether, are used in both military and consumer applications. Deviceswithin such networks are often used to monitor or control an environment orhabitat, and may respond to sound, motion, vibration, or other stimuli. Ina distributed array of sensors, each could include a Smart NanoBattery.Sensor networks could be used, for example, to monitor traffic orpollution, in home security systems, in healthcare applications, for firedetection, and for military battlefield surveillance. The number ofpotential applications is growing, providing an excellent opportunity formPhase/AlwaysReady to leverage the Smart NanoBattery strengths.
Said AlwaysReady CEO Fred Allen, "We believe that the Smart NanoBattery canserve as a key platform technology in sensor network development because weoffer advantages that other battery developers do not. Mobility for exampleis a key issue -- when sensor nodes or base stations are moving, a wiredsystem may not be possible. In this case, remote activation may be the onlysolution."
