@Track Communications Expands TrackWare Coverage To Mexico, Canada.

Business/Technology Editors

RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2001

@Track Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq:ATRK), a leading provider of wireless-based vehicle fleet management and intelligent mobile-asset-tracking solutions, today announced that it has signed a new agreement that significantly expands the potential market for its TrackWare(R) solution by expanding service to customers operating in Mexico and Canada.

The agreement between @Track and Cellemetry LLC, a subsidiary of Numerex Corp. (Nasdaq:NMRX), extends @Track's Cellemetry(R) Data Service coverage and enables @Track to offer trucking companies that haul freight into Mexico and Canada the ability to track their trailer fleets, even if those trailers are handed off to other carriers at the U.S. border. Also, @Track can develop and market additional products that utilize the Cellemetry technology under terms of the new contract.

TrackWare utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite-based technology to determine trailer locations, and then reports this location information and event-driven status changes, such as unloaded/loaded status and trailer connect/disconnect status, in real time. These data messages are transmitted to the companies using state-of-the-art control channel technology to deliver what the company believes is one of the most efficient and economical price points in the marketplace. TrackWare's capability to average the cost per message across a customer's entire fleet also helps companies to maximize their messaging dollars.

"TrackWare is very customer-friendly to install and use, quickly enabling our customers to increase their trailer utilization through real-time, exception-based reporting throughout the U.S., and now, Mexico and Canada," said Todd A. Felker, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing. "With this technology, dispatchers can quickly locate their trailers, be notified of loaded or unloaded status changes, and keep their assets moving. TrackWare provides such information at the touch of a button, saving trucking companies countless hours, resources, and costs previously expended calling or driving to various distribution centers to obtain the same information in person."

"We are pleased that @Track will be taking full advantage of extended Cellemetry coverage," said Geoff Girdler, executive vice president and head of wireless data operations for Numerex. "@Track customers are now afforded seamless, reliable vehicle tracking in a cost-efficient manner."
