Woodmead, SOUTH AFRICA and Ottawa, CANADA - June 19, 2007 - Implementation of GlobalTrack's satellite tracking solution resulted in a 21% increase of productivity in the 1st month of operation for one of their customers. GlobalTrack is the leading provider of vehicle tracking solutions with customized software. In cooperation with SkyWave Mobile Communications, the leading supplier of satellite communications products and services, they provide tailored solutions to improve fleet management.
In August 2006, a customer purchased 65 SkyWave tracking units from GlobalTrack. Implementation of the system yielded overwhelmingly positive results; 21% ROI in the 1st month.

"The GlobalTrack solution provided us with seamless, real-time positions and enables management of our vehicles from virtually any location in the world," says the client. "We are thrilled about the positive returns in such a short period." Savings such as these resulted in the installation of a further 300 units for another client in January 2007.
