Merry Christmas!



Merry Christmas!

First, I would like to wish all our customers, partners and shareholders a very Merry Christmas! Be safe this holiday season and enjoy the time with your friends and families.

I was thinking of doing a year-end review, but I think it would be better to wait until after the first of the year. Instead, I wanted to talk about just a few updates that had to do with some of the more prominent projects.

AT&T
As everyone probably knows, the GSM Cyber Tracker is 100% certified on the AT&T network. Currently we are working to get the Cyber Tracker added to the AT&T website. No more certifications are needed for this, just more paperwork. I expect that we should see the Cyber Tracker on their website in January. The next step that needs to be done is AT&T rep training. What that means is that we will train the business to business reps on the features and functions of the Cyber Tracker. Since it is the end of the year, we will begin our training in January with the help of our Senior Channel Account Manager.

Garmin
Things are moving forward with Garmin. Since my last post I have received lots of positive feedback from customers and Garmin on how excited they will be to see the finished product. It looks like once the integration is done that Garmin will certify and make us an authorized Garmin partner which will provide us a place on the Garmin website. All very exciting news since the project is not going to take very long to complete.

Taxi Meter
Our Taxi Meter project is still ongoing. The customer is currently doing testing with a Cyber Tracker and our new external Push To Talk microphone. In fact, we sent out an additional unit on Tuesday. The Cyber Tracker has been successfully "talking" with one of the taxi meters that they sent over for integration. Software is the only thing that remains.

External Push To Talk
We have had tremendous feedback and success on the external Push To Talk microphone. We have had existing customers request this feature to be retrofitted as well as new customers request it. Putting this together could not have been done without Tadd Ayers. He has played a major role in the development, support and production of this new feature.

We have a busy start to the New Year. There are lots of projects that need to be wrapped up and sales that need to be closed. In an effort to keep our customers and shareholders updated and informed, we will be continuing our blog. In addition to the Blog we hope to be adding a Newsletter and maybe even Podcast or two. Newsletters will be a great way to share new product information with new and existing customers. The podcasts will be a great replacement for our past teleconferences. We will be able to get much more information into them and they will be much less expensive than the traditional teleconferences.


Happy Holidays!!

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and that the New Year brings tangible success to you and the company as well as the shareholders.

When the Cyber Tracker is finally listed as a Certified Solution on the AT&T website, will it be listed as the "Cyber Tracker" or under some other product name?

Thanks.
