Xplore's iX104C(2)V(TM) Tablet PCs with ALLVUE(TM) Technology Helps Improve Data Accuracy and Productivity

AUSTIN, TX, July 20  -- Xplore Technologies(R) Corp. (TSX:XPL), a leading international rugged Tablet PC provider, today announced that the company has received an additional order for 150 rugged Tablet PC's from Hydro One, Inc., one of the largest electric utility companies in North America. The order was secured in conjunction with one of Xplore's Canadian channel partner's, Filbitron. This brings the total number of Xplore rugged Tablet PC systems being used by Hydro One to approximately 800.

Hydro One uses Xplore's rugged iX104C(2)V Tablet PC computers as part of an automated data collection system which enables field technicians to pinpoint, record and maintain the location and condition of Hydro One assets including transmission towers, utility poles and other transmission equipment. The system runs on the FORMotion Systems asset management application software program -- FORMengine Mobility Suite. Field Technicians, using drop down input tables and menus, update data on structures within Hydro One's operating arena. "The increase in accuracy (approaching 100%) is the biggest benefit, along with the fact that our database will be perpetually self updating," stated John Dobie, senior supervisor of technical services at Hydro One Networks, Inc.

The majority of Xplore systems deployed by Hydro One are Xplore's iX104C(2)V Tablet PC with AllVue(TM)LCD and GPS Technology. Xplore's rugged iX104C(2)V Tablet PC System uses an innovative optics technology, AllVue, which supports view ability in challenging lighting conditions including direct intense sunlight. The snap on durable XPL GPS module enables field technicians to pinpoint Hydro assets in the field accurately and reliably. The iX104C(2) Tablet PC family has been 3rd party tested and verified to Military Standards for use in challenging environmental conditions and provides UL1604 and ATEX certification for use in hazardous conditions.

"The ruggedness (of the systems) was important because employees don't see these devices as computers; they see them as a tool," says Raymond Gee, manager of work management and deployment at Hydro One Networks.
