KENNEWICK, Wash., Sept. 26, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Manakoa Services Corporation (OTCBB:MKOS), a security technology company with anti-counterfeiting DNA, optical, tag and trace products to enhance security, has announced a technology partnership with MachineTalker, Inc. (OTCBB:MTKN). The companies intend to integrate Manakoa's DNA forensic security technology with MachineTalker's intelligent wireless mesh sensors to create an advanced security networking platform to validate the source of products from primary packaging through the pallet/cargo level.
MachineTalker's mesh network capability creates a wireless community that shares information with adjacent Talkers(r) by radio, and processes data from its own sensors and then correlates results from other Talkers in the area, and offers significant economic advantages to the user. The MachineTalker(r) solution can be deployed with any machine, independent of application or industry. MachineTalker's Intelligent Radio Frequency Identification Device offers low cost supply chain fidelity for product packaging and shipping. The benefits are critical for industries such as pharmaceuticals, beauty products, automotive, cargo container and general shipping.
Chris Outwater, President of Manakoa, said, "We are delighted to be working with MachineTalker and we are excited about integrating MachineTalker products in our security technology portfolio. Manakoa expects that governmental agency and corporate clients will be eager to learn how our collaborative approach can enhance security at a reduced cost."
Roland F. Bryan, President of MachineTalker, said, "Our smart wireless security networks facilitate communication of logistics and sensor data among themselves and through access points to Wide Area Networks like the Internet. The addition of DNA at the molecular level to fundamental packaging offers a new equation in security."
