EMS/STRATOS PARTNER TO SELL SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS SOLUTIONS.

EMS Technologies and Stratos have signed a reseller agreement. The agreement makes Stratos one of the principal resellers of EMS Technologies' suite of advanced satellite communications terminals, including the PDT-100 packet data satellite terminal used throughout the trucking industry.

With the partnership, Stratos now offers trucking fleets a total fleet management solution, using the EMS PDT-100 satellite terminal for GPS tracking and sending and receiving messages and data. The PDT-100, which weighs only three pounds, is extremely rugged and durable, due in part to an omnidirectional antenna and lack of moving parts.

The system communicates using Mobile Satellite Ventures' (MSV's) MSAT-1 satellite, a geostationary satellite in orbit 36,000 kilometers (approx. 22, 400 miles) above the earth. Using MSAT-1's spot beam technology, MSV offers superior coverage and capacity. This technology turns all of North and Central America, northern South America, the Caribbean, Hawaii, and up to 250 miles offshore into a single, digital communications cell. As a result, MSV can deliver to end-users advanced and affordable communications from anywhere to anywhere.

James McMillan, director, Sales & Marketing -- Land Mobile Products, for EMS Technologies' SATCOM Division, remarked, "Stratos is a market leader in satellite communications and we are pleased to form a partnership with such a highly regarded organization."

In addition to hardware, Stratos sells the satellite airtime and the application software. As such, Stratos offers trucking professionals a total solution to their fleet management requirements.

"Stratos is in a position to offer TCA members one of the most advanced technologies and services that have been introduced into the transportation industry," said Jim Parm, Stratos COO. "Stratos views the MSAT Packet Data Service as another superior offering that complements Stratos' ability to provide robust communications where terrestrial systems simply do not suffice."

The Geocom A.Maze solution is one of the applications Stratos is bundling with the PDT-100. The Geocom solution allows fleet managers to make significant savings on their operational costs by giving them the means to improve their asset management, eliminate useless movement of their assets, and improve the bottom line.
