Press Release Body = ZigBee Evaluation Kit from zPointProducts offers Simple, Low
Cost means
to evaluate Wireless Signal-Strength

Vancouver, BC - October 4, 2006

z-Point Products is pleased to announce that our ZigBee USB Dongles are
available in a special \"Wireless Signal-strength Evaluation Kit.\" This
kit allows users who are interested or curious about ZigBee a low-cost
means to evaluate its suitability for their needs.
\"One of the most common questions that we hear from customers regarding
ZigBee is \'will it work for my application?\'\" reports Brian Empey, CEO
of Techsol and CTO of zPoint Products.
\"Our clients have interesting challenges to solve. They want to know if
a ZigBee switch in the house will be able to turn off the lights in the
stable (that their client\'s daughter left on) 400 feet away from the
house. We can\'t answer that from our office. But now we offer a tool
that lets them test it out themselves.\"

The ZigBee Wireless Evaluation Kit comes as a set of 3 wireless devices
plus software for Windows or Linux computers.
- One ZigBee USB Dongle plugs into a PC in one location.
- Another plugs into a lap-top that can be carried around.
- And the third is simply a coordinator that is installed nearby.
As a user walks around with their laptop, their screen shows the
signal-strength of the signal that they are receiving PLUS the strength
that the other user receives. In addition, there is an \"instant
messaging box\" that lets them communicate with each other. This feature
was added at the request of building automation customers who want to
test the suitability of ZigBee for operation between floors of a building.
Now users can test the viability of ZigBee wireless as a communications
mechanism through different mediums, over different distances, or any
other test that is relevant to their particular challenges.

This kit, based on the same ZigBee Dongle that was demonstrated at Light
Fair 2006 in May and hailed by the ZigBee Alliance as the world\'s first
Zigbee product, is available for only $345. z-Point Products is taking
orders now for deliveries starting in October.

Wireless Technology has the potential to provide benefits to a wide
range of applications:

* Developers of Commercial Buildings want lower construction costs.
* Operators of Commercial Buildings want lower operating costs.
* Users of Commercial Buildings want more comfort and convenience.

However, the technology has been complex, costly, and vendor-specific --
at least until now.

z-Point Products is addressing ALL of these needs with the ZigBee
Wireless End-point -- or \"z-Point\".
These products are the first of a long line of low-cost, interoperable
wireless devices built on international, open standards.
z-Points (ZigBee Wireless End-points) are changing Building Automation
as you know it!
