Digital Asset-Link 410 and analog Asset-Link 150 employ CSI's latest Telematics platform

CALGARY, Aug. 16 CSI Wireless Inc., a designer and manufacturer of advanced wireless and GPS products used in more than 50 countries, today announced that its newest Telematics products - the Asset- Link(TM) 410 and Asset-Link(TM) 150 - have received approval from four major cellular carriers for use on their networks, while also generating in excess of $1 million of initial sales.

Rogers Wireless in Canada, Telefonica in Latin America, and reseller KORE Wireless have tested and approved the Asset-Link 410, while Aeris.net and its Microburst(R) network have tested and approved the Asset-Link 150. Approval processes involving other major North American carriers are also under way.

The Asset-Link 410 is the first digital member of CSI's industry-proven Asset-Link product line. It utilizes GSM-GPRS/SMS technology to meet North America's escalating demand for higher bandwidth applications, including frequent updates of fleet-vehicle operational information.

The analog-based Asset-Link 150 utilizes Aeris.net's popular low-cost MicroBurst(R) cellular network, and is designed for a wide range of applications - including trucking fleets, rental fleets, transit and other municipal vehicles, heavy equipment management and stolen vehicle recovery.

The Asset-Link 410 and Asset-Link 150 feature CSI's newest Telematics platform and offer significant improvements over their Asset-Link predecessors:

 -  A much wider range of "customizable" tracking and monitoring
     functions, including location, speed, odometer, sensor monitoring,
     relay control, scheduled report, data log and geofencing
  -  As many as 16 inputs and outputs to connect to sensors, relays, device
     controls, etc., for monitoring and tracking applications
  -  Faster speed-to-market, thanks to a complete set of development tools
     and a proven solution, backed by a company with industry-leading
     vehicle tracking and asset management experience
  -  Even more accurate positioning, combined with monitoring and reporting
     of pre-determined events and real-time conditioning 

"The Asset-Link 410 and Asset-Link 150 are generating widespread industry interest due to many factors including their highly configurable feature sets," said Stephen Verhoeff, CSI's President and CEO. "In addition to the more than $1 million of sales orders we are announcing today, several more new customers are at various stages of integration and testing with our Asset-Link products, and are expected to place production-volume orders as their own products are commercialized."

CSI's Asset-Link product line - and its Fleet-Link(TM) line that is designed specifically for tracking truck trailers - enable users to achieve strong returns on investment through operational efficiencies such as:

 -  Lowering fuel and maintenance costs by monitoring speeding and
     excessive idling
  -  Increasing fleet efficiency/productivity by monitoring vehicles' "stop
     time" during service calls
  -  Controlling "moonlighting," "side trips" and other unauthorized use of
     vehicles
  -  Reducing accident rates by making drivers more aware of their driving
     habits
  -  Monitoring a variety of engine operation factors for more efficient
     equipment utilization and maintenance scheduling 

"Our expanding Asset-Link and Fleet-Link lines, together with our extensive applications experience, have positioned CSI as a leader in Telematics markets," Mr. Verhoeff said.
