Checkpoint Systems’ NEO EAS Antenna Earns GOOD DESIGN Distinction from The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design for 2018

Checkpoint
Systems, the only vertically integrated solution provider for
retail, today announced that its NEO NP10 and NP20 electronic article
surveillance (EAS) antennas, which were designed in collaboration with
Radius Innovation & Development, have earned the GOOD DESIGN^®
distinction from The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design
for 2018.

GOOD DESIGN is the world’s most prestigious, recognized and oldest
design awards program organized annually by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum
of Architecture and Design in cooperation with the European Centre for
Architecture, Art, Design and Urban Studies. GOOD DESIGN covers
inventive consumer products, graphics and packaging designed and
manufactured in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North and South America.

Checkpoint offers an intelligent retail solutions portfolio of hardware,
software, sensors and IoT connected devices for loss prevention and
inventory control system for retail environments, designed to improve
retailers’ profitability and the consumer’s experience. The NEO EAS
antenna platform delivers superior RF and RFID sensor performance,
allowing for industry leading 9-ft. spacing between each antenna for
unimpeded foot traffic. Fewer antennas translate into lower installation
costs; NEO also uses secure wireless communications between antennas to
reduce cabling and physical installation upheaval.

NEO is designed to enhance the customer shopping experience in a wide
range of retail settings, creating an environment of improved ROI’s and
lower operational costs. The modern design of NEO balances curves and
defined edges to convey sophistication and technical precision. NEO
combines beauty and brains, with IoT connectivity to Checkpoint’s HALO^®
platform and integrated advertising panel option for optimizing retail
messaging at the lease line.

Interested parties can see a preview of Checkpoint’s NEO and other
solutions being demonstrated at NRF 2019 from Jan. 13-15 in New York here.

“The collaboration with Radius Design on our NEO antennas produced a
revolutionary design that is both aesthetically pleasing and
technologically advanced,” said Simon Edgar, global director, R&D, for
Checkpoint. “Innovations beyond aesthetics include EAS industry-leading
9-ft. [2.7m] RF and RFID electronic performance, wireless inter-antenna
communication, integrated ad panels and IoT connectivity to our HALO
platform.”

Jim Holtorf, director of design for Radius commented, “We are very proud
of the results from our collaboration with the Checkpoint team on NEO.
We designed NEO from the inside out, defining the product architecture
to maximize performance, improve serviceability, and reduce cost through
innovation in design for manufacturing. Our approach to the look and
feel for the product line focused on simplicity and sophistication, to
support flexibility in fitting a wide range of retail environments.”
