Hub telecom Collaborates With TIBCO to Design Universal RFID Services Platform for Charles de Gaulle Airport

PARIS--(Marketwire - November 5, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ : TIBX ) announced today
that Hub telecom, operator and integrator of business solutions, has
selected TIBCO Software Inc. to develop an operated and universal
applications platform for collecting and processing RFID identification
data. The "Hub'ID" traceability service relies on an open services platform
aimed at providing an end-to-end object monitoring solution extending from
the RFID collection infrastructure to customers' business applications. The
Hub'ID service is applicable to all companies on the airport platform and
to Transport, Freight and Logistics operations throughout mainland France.
Adding Value to Information
The Hub'ID platform, developed on the basis of the TIBCO software, receives
and formats the data collected by the various RFID sensors in real time and
to the various standards required by the market. As operator service, the
platform has the capacity to process high volumes of RFID data coming from
numerous sites and numerous collection sources. The TIBCO platform
(including TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™) processes the raw data by
assigning it a business definition, or even enhancing it to ensure real
time traceability of objects; the platform then transmits the data directly
to the customers' information systems. The platform is able to integrate
heterogeneous technologies from Hub telecom's partners. Redundant or
useless data is systematically divided or filtered.
The visibility of the volumes of data processed allows Hub telecom to see
what has actually been utilized and to invoice its services as accurately
as possible.
An Open Platform
The first business application implemented on the Hub'ID platform meets the
RFID luggage traceability requirements of Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.
It allows the networking and the mutualization of gates and RFID tunnels
which are displayed on the sorting luggage zones and the tarmac. Hub
telecom offers this service to feed the computer luggage systems of airline
companies, stopover support organizations and airports. However, in
addition to airport applications, the service has been designed to ensure
monitoring of all types of logistical flows anywhere in France. Hub
telecom's system is a turnkey service: it includes RFID readers, either
fixed or mobile (PDA), network services, and business data processing
services.
"The TIBCO solution has been chosen for its modularity, its robustness and
its ability to manage high volumes of RFID data. It allows us to assume our
unique position as RFID operator in the market without any fuss," commented
Nicolas Lehovetzki, Hub telecom's director of Marketing, Innovation,
Engineering and Information Technology.
Adds Fabio Pulidori, senior vice president of EMEA, TIBCO: "Our
collaboration with Hub telecom puts TIBCO's solutions at the operational
heart of one of the world's five busiest airports. TIBCO will play a
critical role in monitoring a wide range of logistical flows in real time,
reinforcing our reputation for providing solutions that are relied on to
deliver flexibility and control in business scenarios characterized by
complex events and high volumes of operational data."
