Founded in 1988 by Dr. Robert J. Fontana, a Fellow of the IEEE, award-winning MSSI is a pioneer in the development and commercialization of UWB, a radio technology.

Using very low energy for short-range, high-bandwidth communications, UWB can be used to locate items with accuracy from one foot to within inches.

It is ideally suited for use in electronically “noisy” environments such as factories, warehouses and computer room installations because of UWB's ability to withstand interference caused by radio signal reflection off metal and other surfaces.

The small size, low cost and long battery life of UWB transmitters make solutions incorporating UWB technology an excellent choice for real-time location of multiple assets or people for safety and security purposes.

“As part of Zebra Technologies, we will be able to accelerate the development and deployment of our UWB-based solutions,” stated Dr. Fontana. “Zebra's financial strength, global reach and deep domain expertise in several industries make it the ideal organization with which to move forward.”

Zebra Enterprise Solutions was formed from the acquisitions of Navis, proveo and WhereNet in 2007. This business unit of Zebra Technologies demonstrates Zebra's leadership in providing complete solutions for asset tracking, location, and optimization needs in the global supply chain.
