Press Release Summary: RFID enabled key authentication enhances security and
operational processes at luxury vehicle dealership

Press Release Body: Las Vegas, Nevada -- April 16, 2008

A Montreal based RFID system integrator, Ship2Save, has announced its RFID cabinet
key solution, with Impinj's UHF Gen 2 RFID chips, readers, and antennas, is part of
an AVS Key and Inventory Solutions Inc. offering. The system prevents the theft of
cars at a luxury vehicle dealership by warning the dealership that a possible theft
is likely to occur. Leveraging the RFID data from the key authentication process,
Ship2Save's Operation Management System (OMS) and Microsoft's BizTalk Server RFID
facilitate and enhance the dealership's asset management systems.

This novel approach assists in the prevention of theft rather than its detection.
The system in place provides a way to authenticate car keys upon their return from a
test drive. An RFID reader captures the tagged key's unique identifier and relays
its presence to central control. The solution is based on BizTalk Server 2006 R2,
which delivers capabilities that extend core process management technologies to
connect real-time business processes and leverage intelligent RFID data.

"We worked closely with the client to come up with the design of the system based
on specific requirements," explains Amninder Singh, Director of Product Development
at Ship2Save. "However," continues Singh, "the realization of the solution was
possible because of the availability of cutting edge tools such as Impinj's
Speedway® reader and BizTalk Server RFID. The resulting RFID data becomes instantly
available as valuable business information, which can then be utilized for making
the right decisions in a timely fashion."

"By focusing on the needs of its customers, Ship2Save has created an intelligent
RFID solution that addresses a valuable business problem," said Steve Sloan, Lead
Product Manager, Microsoft Corp. "By working with insightful, value-driven partners
we can make RFID relevant to businesses of all sizes, in a variety of industries."

According to Eddie Ng, Project Manager at Ship2Save, the smart cabinet solution is
currently used for one aspect of the sales process at dealerships. AVS Key and
Inventory Solutions Inc. will be evaluating other key business aspects where such
smart systems deployments can impact the bottom line.

"With each dealership having its own system in place, we are delighted that our
solution shows versatility when it comes to integration", remarks Anoop Sharma,
President of AVS Key and Inventory Solutions Inc. "This important feature played a
major role in our decision to work with Ship2Save and its line of RFID business
applications", adds Sharma.

Advances in RFID technology have rendered RFID based smart systems ubiquitous in the
security sector. The conception and utilization of a system that predicts theft is
just one example of how the creativity of solution providers is contributing to the
expansion of the growing range of RFID applications.
