go2 Systems, Inc. and Sensoria Corporation to Develop Prototype For Telematics Applications

   Combines Sensoria Telematics Environment and Location-Based Information

    LA JOLLA, Calif., Sept. 6 Sensoria Corporation announced
today at DEMOmobile 2001 that it has entered into an agreement with go2
Systems, Inc. to develop a prototype to apply location-based directory and
information services to in-vehicle devices utilizing the Sensoria Telematics
Environment.
    The Sensoria Telematics Environment is a new standards-based telematics
platform that delivers advanced services such as go2's geocoded directory
listings, allowing users to locate relevant businesses and products quicker
and easier than existing addressing systems.  Under the agreement, the
platform will enable go2's wirelessly delivered business location data to be
delivered to any Sensoria-equipped automobile or similar in-vehicle
application environment.  By integrating GPS information from Sensoria's
platform, go2 will use its patented location referencing technology to provide
location-based information for millions of real-world locations in the U.S.
    Vice President of Marketing for Sensoria Brian Davis commented, "go2's
extensive database provides an efficient way to bring consumers and businesses
together.  This is a logical onboard service that will integrate into the
vehicle environment for increased driver and passenger convenience."
    Vice President of Marketing for go2 Ed De Ferrante said this partnership
leverages go2's application suite nicely.  De Ferrante elaborated, "go2
provides an independent platform that will retrieve information for mobile
consumers who are searching for nearby retailers and other real-world
destinations.  Using Sensoria's Telematics Environment, we can incorporate
localized information from the Internet and make it available to consumers
through a Web-enabled system, such as Sensoria's gateway."
    The Sensoria Telematics Environment is a standards-based platform for
delivering next-generation telematics services over conventional cellular,
Bluetooth and wireless LAN connections.  It enables telematics service
providers to quickly and easily deploy new voice and data applications
remotely to in-vehicle information systems.  It consists of three components:
the Telematics Communication Server, the Telematics Client Platform software,
and the mGate Modular Vehicle Gateway.  Sensoria has simplified the
complexities of wireless and proprietary vehicle interfaces into a common set
of APIs and Web-based interfaces to support third-party software development
for the Sensoria Telematics Environment.
