CMMS Pioneer Caver-Morehead Systems Becomes Aleier, Inc., With Expansion Into Broader Asset Management Market

New Name and Web Site Signify Expanded Objectives for Caver-Morehead's CMMS Business

DALLAS, TEXAS, (September 27, 2006) RF Monolithics, Inc. ("RFM" or the"Company") [NASDAQ:RFMI] today announced it will offer its recently acquired asset management software through and under the name of its subsidiary, Aleier, Inc., and discontinue use of the Caver-Morehead Systems brand. The new name reflects the expanded scope that RFM plans for Aleier. Aleier will build on a strong foundation as a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) application provider and will increasingly provide a broader asset management solution, particularly condition-based maintenance. Aleier's new name and scope will be supported by its new web site at http://www.aleier.com.

Aleier's software platform offers tracking and analysis tools that enable facilities to streamline maintenance processes and improve overall efficiency. By harnessing available information to optimize task scheduling, resource allocation, and inventory management, Aleier has created tremendous value for a diverse set of customers including government agencies, airports, hospitals, prisons, colleges, and high-tech production facilities, among others.

Aleier significantly expands RFM's capabilities and positions it to meet the rapidly growing demand for comprehensive wireless solutions, particularly in industrial market applications. RFM's high-performance wireless monitoring systems enhance the capabilities of Aleier's industry-leading software platform by providing access to data from more assets and monitoring points at a higher read frequency and lower cost. Access to this real-time information enables Aleier to offer condition-based preventive maintenance and additional asset management functions. With Aleier's expanded capabilities, RFM is well-positioned to deliver comprehensive wireless systems for customers in a wide range of market segments.

Explaining the name change, William F. Caver, President of Aleier, said, "Aleier is the French word meaning to combine together, to alloy or to meld. Using RFM's connection to the pervasive internet, Aleier will be able to combine real-time operating data about a company's physical assets with the IT-based information used to manage and service those assets. This melding of information databases will change the way that enterprises manage their facilities and equipment."

"Industrial companies have a wide range of application needs, from rapid failure response and condition-based preventive maintenance to process efficiency optimization," noted David M. Kirk, President and CEO of RFM. "Companies want comprehensive wireless solutions for these applications. Under our strategic plan, with Aleier's software platform, we possess the expertise and broad range of technologies needed to provide integrated, customized system solutions for these demanding customer applications."

Concurrently with this announcement, Aleier has launched the new web site for its operations. Information about Aleier, its products and its services can now be found at http://www.aleier.com.
