("Sirit") (TSX: SI), a\nglobal provider of radio frequency identification readers, tags and embedded\nmodules, today announced that Manor AG, the largest retail business in the\nSwiss market, is deploying Reva's Tag Acquisition Processor(TM) (TAP) products\nand Sirit's INfinity 510 RFID readers to enable RFID operations at stores and\ndistribution centers.
