It is very difficult to hack the DecaWave scheme so it is far more resistant to Relay Attack than present schemes. Slide 58

59 In Conclusion, DecaWave DecaWave has solved the problem of precision indoor location Slide 59 bringing a chip to market that affords 7cm precision location indoors with unprecedented range and reliability. From now on, items can be located and connected, indoors and outdoors, mobile or stationary We have taped out our mass production silicon, after having spent 6 years developing silicon compliant to the IEEE a standard, which was ratified in Q Our initial first mover customers are technology differentiators and are ready to go into production in Q4 2013, having worked with DecaWave for several years in some cases. With these first movers in selected verticals we get to cash generative / cash break even by Q This requires a final investment of 6.5M, with 3M headroom. DecaWave also has an option on the consumer market, with leaders in WLAN AP, SmartTV and Smart phone suppliers all engaged in trialing the technology. DecaWave has a significant IP portfolio, including essential and implementation patents, (5 issued, 13 in the pipe ) DecaWave has the option of licensing into automotive and other non core segments We have a world class team (28) of algorithmic, circuit design, software design and business development professionals with many many years experience. This final investment is to roll out the chip.
