Reliable Satellite and Cellular GPS and Communications
Launched for the Canadian Oil and Gas Industry
GEOTrac Premiers New Solutions for Canadian Oil and Gas
Industry at the Peace Region Petroleum Show

May 15, 2007 - Grande Prairie, Alberta - GEOTrac International Inc. today announced the launch of, what many experts
are calling, the most reliable GPS tracking and communications solutions for
the Canadian oil and gas industry.
 "GEOTrac is now offering a more reliable satellite solution than it has in the past," says
Tim Hodge, CEO of GEOTrac. "We have added another satellite carrier that
has a reputation for being dependable and reliable."
 
GEOVision™ -
Low-Earth-Orbit Satellite Version
Providing in-transit visibility for fleet and asset management, GEOVision is premiering at the Peace
Region Petroleum Show on May 15th. This innovative technology uses a
low-earth-orbit satellite network that has been serving Canadian and U.S. military
operations around the world. Reliable and secure, the network consists of more than
66 satellites traveling at 27,500 km/hr. Circumnavigating the earth every 100
minutes, these motorcycle-sized satellites are hurling around the globe 800 km
above the earth.
 
Ideal for Canada's northern oil and gas exploration, this satellite network has multiple North -
South orbital planes. This provides exceptional coverage and quality of signal
for operations in Polar Regions. As exploration for oil and gas continues to forge further and further North,
GEOTrac is ideally positioned to offer the industry's best fleet and asset
management using GPS and two-way communications.
 
GEOTrac's new satellite version of the GEOVision service consists of new hardware built locally in Alberta. Using the
experience from current customers in the oil and gas industry, the GEOVision
data modem was collaboratively built by GEOTrac to serve this unique industry.
The GEOVision service also consists of a small, low-profile antenna that
provides both GPS and communications.
 
Highlight of satellite
features for GEOVision by GEOTrac:
  
  • Intelligent data modem - built-in GPS chipset, satellite network transceiver and onboard intelligence using a proprietary 3PA firmware.                             
  • Low-profile antenna - small and light-weight,these antennas include both GPS and two-way communications. Antenna can be
easily mounted on roof, mirror bracket or hood.           
  • Global Coverage - GEOTrac's GEOVision service provides global coverage in the most remote areas of the world. The
North-South orbital plane provides exceptional coverage in the Polar Regions.                                

  • Near Real-time Messaging - similar to cellular SMS text messaging, GEOVision provides customers with truck-to-truck
and truck to dispatch messaging. Dispatchers can now communicate with their
drivers in the most remote areas in the world.

Version
 
At the same time, GEOTrac has officially launched a higher bandwidth solution on cellular networks using
both CDMA and GSM technologies. Working with companies such as Bell,
Telus and Rogers, GEOTrac has been providing a solid GPS and communications solution to oilfield service companies throughout Alberta.

20% of the time. What drives the demand is voice communications and access to
the Internet through a laptop connecting to the cellular data modem. Customers

marker or LSD. New to the GIS industry is GEOFence to Road Segment.
Customers can now create a virtual fence for a particular section of road. When
an asset or vehicle that is associated with that geofence crosses the fence, a
notification is sent via email or sms to a computer or PDA. Now customers can
be notified when a vehicle is speeding across a section of road and take the
appropriate action.
