    Crown Telecom, a reseller of Telecom Italia Mobile in Brazil and
    provider of location-based and fleet Telematics services and also
    WebTech's exclusive distributor in Brazil, has placed a confirmed
    purchase order for 490,000 WebTech Locator devices. WebTech Wireless
    (TSX VENTURE: WEW), a leading fleet Telematics products and service
    provider, has accepted the purchase order worth over CDN$ 67 million.

    The devices will be installed on the assembly lines of major
    Brazilian auto manufacturers. The "24 Horas" service offers a
    programme to models assembled and sold in the Brazilian market by auto
    manufacturers for safety and security purposes. The programme will
    enable location-based and Telematics services provided Crown Telecom
    activates once the service activated at dealerships. The purchase
    order is the first among several that Crown Telecom is expected to
    place over a period of 5 years as per a 5-year term contract signed
    between Crown and WebTech.

    The owner of a new vehicle offered in the Brazilian market by auto
    manufacturers will be entitled to up to 35% discount on car insurance
    premium upon participating in the "24 Horas" service. Crown Telecom is
    responsible for operating and offering the service in Brazil. The
    security and safety services could be expanded to include
    communication and entertainment applications in opportune timing and
    is made possible with the flexibility and scalability of the WebTech
    products and services.

    "Crown Telecom has crossed the threshold for meeting all the
    rigorous requirements demanded by sophisticated customers and has
    confirmed its ability to lead the Telematics and location based
    services in South America," commented Jose Antonio S. Pereira Jr.,
    President and Chief Executive Officer, Crown Telecom. "We offer the
    "24 Horas" service across Brazil to any vehicle owner in a position to
    benefit from insurance discounts on premiums against implementing our
    security and safety solution. Our services and technology, powered by
    WebTech products and services are an industry benchmark worldwide. Our
    infrastructure is state-of-the-art and currently capable of offering
    the service to over one million vehicles. Crown Telecom is committed
    to keep improving its services and customer care."

    "The contract signed with Crown is of the magnitude and size that
    presents both organizations with a rare opportunity to become among
    the few major players in the Telematics and Location-Based services
    and products market worldwide" comments Anwar Sukkarie, President and
    CEO, WebTech Wireless. "Crown Telecom has achieved amazing results by
    following a well-thought out strategy and solid plan of execution. We
