Frost & Sullivan Awards Headwall Photonics 2006 Product Innovation Award
Hyperspec(TM) Imaging Products Recognized For Innovation
Fitchburg, MA; March 1, 2007 - Headwall Photonics, the world's leading
supplier of high performance integrated spectrometer systems for spectral
imaging and chemical sensing solutions, announced that the company's
Hyperspec(TM) spectral imaging product line has been awarded the 2006 Frost &
Sullivan Product Innovation Award.
Headwall Photonics has been at the forefront of introducing hyperspectral
imaging technology for use in commercial, industrial, and life science
applications. In support of this strategy, Headwall has introduced off-the-shelf
integrated hyperspectral sensor solutions covering the VNIR (400-1000nm), NIR
(900-1700nm), and SWIR (1000-2500nm) spectral regions.
According to Headwall's David Bannon, Vice President of Sales and
Marketing, "The significance of this award by such a premier research
organization is especially noteworthy and gratifying. This recognition serves to
underscore the significant engineering investment that Headwall has made in
developing and bringing to market our fourth generation hyperspectral imaging
sensor which offers unrivalled spectral and spatial performance". All of the
Hyperspec(TM) products feature Headwall's patented, aberration-corrected
concentric imaging design.
Hyperspectral imaging technology is an established chemical sensing and
imaging technology that allows for the spectroscopic analysis of any particular

military and defense sensor technology, hyperspectral imaging is poised for
rapid adoption in commercial markets involving complex manufacturing of
chemical materials and products.
Headwall's Hyperspec(TM) imaging instruments have received significant
industry recognition and product acclaim for engineering design and product
performance. Along with the 2006 Frost & Sullivan Product Innovation Award,
the Hyperspec(TM) product line has received numerous product and technology
awards including the R&D 100 Award and the AE50 Product Award from the
American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers.
