Navicom GPS Receives a Purchase Order Contract From California Department of Corrections
Wednesday June 22, 8:36 am ET


SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NowAuto, Inc. (OTC: NWAU - News) announced today that wholly owned subsidiary Navicom GPS has entered into an agreement with the California Department of Corrections to track state vehicles while transporting "High Priority" inmates. Because of the secure nature of the transports, logistics of the tracking cannot be released. However, Navicom will be using the Microburst technology to complete the custom application. It will include multiple Geo-fences per unit, speed alerts and as well as a panic button. The driving force behind the initiative was an added level of security when transporting "High Priority" prisoners out of a level 4 prison. Navicom is also working with the prison to outfit the inmates with tracking ankle bracelets to be used whenever an inmate has to leave the grounds. Navicom is looking into several different manufactures and once the unit is certified on the new q network, it will be made available for deployment. The device will add another level of security when transporting prisoners.

"We have been diligently working on this contract and expect it to open many doors within various State and Federal penitentiaries nationwide. We also plan to work closely with the Sheriffs department who handles transport for the entire prison system," said Keith Tench, President of Navicom.

The overall cost of the project will be paid for through the California General Fund with Net 30 terms.

"I'm extremely pleased with Navicom's ability to deliver and secure a contract of this magnitude. This agency could choose from any GPS provider and chose Navicom based on its ability to deliver and knowledge of the marketplace. I look forward to their continued effort and focus on this critical segment of the business," said Scott Miller, CEO of NowAuto.

Navicom has also added 3 key distributors who will transition to Tier II providers in early September. These distributors bring a wealth of experience and distribution knowledge. Their combined effort will net close to 600 units per month for Navicom. "It's extremely important to have key Tier II providers on board who already have the channels and partners in place to commit to large quantities of monthly units. This will assist our over all monthly commitment goals. We can also count on selling several hundred units within our existing distribution base as well as the multitude of Tier II providers that we are currently in negotiations with," said Tench.

The Navitraq V and VI product set will be unmatched in the GPS and digital GSM market. The new product has the ability to track assets in 98% of Canada, Mexico and the United States. The units will also be able to perform a multitude of functions such as complex tracking and reporting solutions, Geofencing, speed alert notification, panic alarm, starter disable and door lock/unlock capability.
