Vector heading systems installed on three sailboats in round-the-world competition

CALGARY, Alberta, Canada - Oct. 31, 2005 - (TSX:CSY) - Hemisphere GPS, a designer and
manufacturer of GPS products used in more than 50 countries, is supplying
Vector heading systems to three of the seven sailboats competing in the Volvo
Ocean Race - a seven-month, 31,000-mile, globe-circling odyssey involving some
of the world's best sailors.
              
                   The three multi-million-dollar sailboats are the:
                   1) Pirates of the Caribbean, sponsored by the U.S.-based Walt Disney
                      entertainment conglomerate;
                   2) ABN-AMRO One, sponsored by ABN-AMRO, the Holland-based international
                      financial institution; and
                   3) Ericsson Racing Team, sponsored by Ericsson, the Sweden-based
                      telecommunications giant
              
 
All three boats will be using state-of-the-art Vector products for
heading accuracy when the Volvo Ocean Race - widely known as the Mount Everest
of ocean racing - begins on Nov. 6.
 
The Volvo Ocean Race travels through some of the world's most demanding
and treacherous seas. Boats and crews will be pushed to the limits of their
endurance as they navigate through sweltering calms, iceberg-filled oceans,
and gales that can blow for weeks on end.
 
The Pirates of the Caribbean, ABN-AMRO and Ericsson racing teams equipped
their sailboats with Vector products because they are among the very best in
the world, says Mark Cox of Diverse Yacht Services
(http://www.diverseyachts.com/da/13779), a British marine electronics and
hardware firm that is providing a range of support services to the teams.
 
"We do extensive research - looking for the best marine electronics
products in the world - to help our clients get an edge," Mr. Cox said. "Our
research tells us that Hemisphere's Vector products process and provide
heading data at extremely fast rates."
 
Therefore, the Pirates of the Caribbean, ABN-AMRO and Ericsson teams all
asked Diverse Yacht Services to install Vector systems on their sailboats. The
systems were purchased from Hemisphere GPS' European distributor, Saderet
Limited (www.saderet.co.uk), in Buckinghamshire, England.
 
The Volvo Ocean Race will begin this Sunday with a week-long,   
spectator-oriented "in-port race" in which the seven crews will display their
sailing and navigation skills in and around the Spanish port of Sanxenxo. On
Nov. 12, they will depart from Vigo, Spain, and travel south around Africa's
Cape Horn, east to Australia/New Zealand and onward to the southern tip of
South America, then up the west coasts of South and North America to New York,
across the Atlantic to England, and north to the finish line in Gothenburg,
Sweden (Volvo's headquarters) on June 17, 2006.
 
"This will be an excellent demonstration of the Vector's capabilities,"
Mr. Cox said. "Timely, accurate headings are essential for these teams to
perform at their maximum potential."
                   Rick Heiniger, President of Hemisphere GPS, a wholly owned subsidiary of
CSI Wireless Inc., said: "We're delighted that the very experienced crews of
three of the world's fastest and best-equipped sailboats have chosen Vector
products for their all-important headings. It represents an important,    
high-profile endorsement of Hemisphere's marine GPS products."
 
The Pirates of the Caribbean, ABN-AMRO and Ericsson boats have been
outfitted with Hemisphere's Vector Sensor product that calculates accurate
heading and position utilizing Hemisphere's proprietary GPS technology. Along
with the Vector Sensor, two multipath-resistant antennas are used to receive
the GPS signals. Increasing the distance between the two antennas can increase
the system's heading accuracy. With the antennas two meters apart, the Vector
Sensor computes heading information with better than 0.15 degrees accuracy -
matching or exceeding the accuracy of competitors' products while being
significantly more affordable.
 
In addition to marine applications, the Vector Sensor serves the machine
control market that includes agriculture, heavy construction equipment,
cranes, communications and other industries for which accurate headings are
essential.
 
Hemisphere also designs and manufactures the Vector, a rugged "smart
antenna" heading system that combines the electronics and antennas into a
single half-meter enclosure. Using a Hemisphere-patented moving base station
Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) technique, as well as integrated gyro, tilt and
magnetic sensors, the Vector provides heading information to within       
half-degree (0.5) accuracy - exceeding IMO type approval standards, and enough
to replace traditional gyrocompasses for many applications at only a fraction
of the cost.
 
Vector products, available worldwide through a variety of channels, are
also used for positioning. They achieve sub-meter positioning accuracy using
decoded correction data from land-based Coast Guard beacon stations or   
Space-Based Augmentation Systems such as North America's WAAS, Europe's EGNOS
and Japan's MSAS.

About the Volvo Ocean Race
The Volvo Ocean Race dates from 1973, when the first was held. It was
known then as the Whitbread Round the World Race because Whitbread PLC, an
international conglomerate, provided crucial financial backing. Whitbread
sponsored similar races every four years until 2001, when Volvo assumed
overall sponsorship. The 2005-2006 edition will feature seven boats competing
in nine long-distance legs of open-ocean sailing, broken up by seven     
short-distance "in-port races" at various locations around the world. For more
