WebTech Supplies Atkins, Largest Transportation Consultancy in the UK

LONDON--July 5, 2005--WebTech Wireless Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WEW), a leading supplier of mobile telematics and tracking services, is pleased to announce its collaboration with Atkins UK, a multi-billion dollar international leader in the supply of highway management and maintenance services for UK highway authorities to provide vehicle Telematics Systems in 150 key highway maintenance vehicles.


"We have been working together on a variety of research projects with WebTech including the use of their vehicle tracking system in Emergency Response Vehicles, Gully Emptiers (Drain Cleaners), Gritters (Salter/Sanders) and Inspection Vehicles in our Highway Maintenance fleet," said Alan McKechnie, Chief Engineer for Atkins' Business Excellence Team. "We have been very impressed with the results of our initial tests and the ongoing commitment WebTech has shown to working with us to meet our needs. The ability to manage our operations effectively is very important to us, so the use of cellular communications technology to provide regular positioning updates and telemetrics in a cost effective way is proving invaluable."

One of the key benefits of the WebTech vehicle Telematics System is "Turn Based Polling(TM)" which reports location information with every turn of the vehicle, ensuring records and management decisions are accurate and robust, as well as the ability to initiate over-the-air upgrades. The key objective of ongoing development work with WebTech Wireless is to provide leading edge technical solutions that will benefit customers and ensure the safety of their employees as well as the public.

"I am delighted with Atkins' selection of WebTech Wireless, reinforcing the relevance of our solution for large international government contracts," said David Jephcott, European Sales Director, WebTech Wireless. "Atkins is the world's third largest engineering and architectural consultancy in terms of revenue and staff."
