WebTech and Iridium to Provide Intelligent Dual-Mode Cellular and Satellite Telematics Solution



    WebTech Wireless Inc. (TSX-V:WEW), a provider of location-based
    and fleet telematics services, and Iridium Satellite, the global
    provider of mobile satellite voice and data communications, today
    announced the introduction in Europe of a new dual-mode cellular and
    satellite asset tracking and management solution for the
    transportation industry.

    WebTech's new WT1900system incorporates Iridium's 9601 short-burst
    data modem, offering seamless coverage for long-haul customers. The
    system utilizes cellular frequencies when in range of terrestrial
    wireless networks and Iridium satellite links in other areas. It was
    developed under a Value-Added Reseller agreement with Iridium to
    provide an alternative solution that significantly reduces customers'
    telecommunication costs.

    "Our collaboration with Iridium fits with our product strategy to
    offer viable, cost-effective telematics solutions that focus on
    customer satisfaction. We are proud to deliver an industry first that
    highlights our technology leadership and offers considerable cost
    savings to customers," said Cameron Fraser, co-founder and chief
    technology officer, WebTech Wireless.

    The new WT1900 uses signal strength or other user definable
    parameters to switch automatically between cellular coverage and
    Iridium's satellites, ensuring the least-cost routing for the data
    links. This provides more efficient use of technologies and cost
    reduction of airtime usage and fleet management services.

    The solution takes advantage of significant improvements in
    cellular coverage and leverages Iridium's ubiquitous satellite
    coverage and low-latency reliable data links to provide an integrated
    solution for tracking and managing assets while achieving considerable
    cost savings for data transmission. The modularity of the system
    enables large fleets to mix and match their connectivity requirements
    for continuous monitoring of assets and improvements in the safety and
    security for drivers.

    "WebTech's new telematics solution is yet another example of the
    sizeable advantage that Iridium's global coverage brings to asset
    tracking and management applications," said Greg Ewert, executive vice
    president of Iridium Satellite. "Our constellation is uniquely
    positioned to augment gaps in cellular coverage. The combination of
    cellular and satellite data links ensures seamless uninterrupted
    coverage wherever the vehicle goes, including remote rural areas not
    covered by terrestrial carriers."

    The WT1900 will be released by the summer of 2007. For more
