SATX, Inc. Announces Third Generation Sys-Go and AlphaTrak Products

    ATLANTA--Sept. 25, 2001--SATX, Inc. (OTCBB: SATX) announced today that its new third generation Sys-Go(TM) and AlphaTrak(TM) products are ready for the commercial market.
    The new generation product line consists of two patented products. The first product, Sys-Go(TM), is a device that is capable of switching electrical devices on and off remotely, via one-way pager signals. The second patented device, AlphaTrak(TM), is also capable of switching electrical devices on and off remotely via two-way pager signals but is also coupled with a GPS-based tracking system that reports, via the two-way pager signals, the location of the device back to an internet based computer system. The device's location is reported by user-initiated contact with the device or the device has been set up to report its location on a preprogrammed reporting schedule.
    President and CEO Terry Colbert remarked, "We are very excited to make this announcement; that we are ready to begin delivering our new, third generation Sys-Go(TM) and AlphaTrak(TM) products. Both products utilize state-of-the-art surface mount technology and the latest high tech components available in the market today."
    "We, the SATX senior management, believe we could see revenues in excess of $5MM between now and the end of 2002. This level of revenue would make SATX profitable and I know this is what the shareholders are interested in. Of course making the statement of achieving profitability has to be followed by the caveat that management believes SATX would achieve profitability barring any unforeseen material expenses. " Colbert continued.
    "The Sys-Go(TM) product is designed to be a low cost remote switching device that can be used to disable vehicles by simply dialing a 10-digit pager number and enter a code to disable or enable the vehicle. One example of an application for this product would be for an auto rental car company. The company could disable a portion or entire fleet of vehicles each night so noone could start up and drive the vehicles, thus reducing or eliminating nighttime auto theft. The Sys-Go(TM) unit could also be used to render a vehicle unusable when its owner is in a restaurant or the vehicle is parked in parking lots. The owner simply dials the number, disables the vehicle while in the restaurant or while at work and dials the number again to enable the vehicle when ready to drive it. This would be especially applicable for the high-end auto market."
    "The AlphaTrak(TM) and Sys-Go(TM) products can disable and enable electrical devices but the AlphaTrak(TM) has a GPS-based tracking module coupled to the two-way paging module via proprietary hardware and software that allows you to find out, at any time, exactly where the vehicle is located. This has enormous potential for fleet management. Increasing efficiency and by knowing where each of the vehicles are during the day will also simplify fleet management. Other applications include auto dealerships, which could sell cars or trucks to the credit challenged market. Should the buyer not make their car payment, the vehicle could be quickly located, disabled and retrieved. All of this in a matter of hours instead of the usual days or weeks." Colbert concluded.

    A few potential applications include:

    Disable Vehicle and to Effect Recovery In the Event of Car Theft

    The primary function of this application is to disable a motor vehicle in the event of theft and to assist the owner in the recovery of the vehicle by informing where the vehicle is located via the GPS tracking unit
    The car owner simply places a telephone call to an 800 number and gives a security and action code to the Customer Care Representative which disables the motor vehicle via the AlphaTrak(TM) unit through a process of shutting down the vehicle's engine in a safe manner.
    The disabled vehicle can then be located via GPS tracking, and if desired, police and/or a tow truck can be dispatched to recover the vehicle, all in a matter of minutes.
    In a situation such as the car keys being locked in the car, the car owner is able to direct the Customer Care Representative to unlock the car doors via the AlphaTrak(TM) system.
    All of this with a simple 800 call to one of our efficient Customer Care Representatives. Efficient and safe.

    Credit Challenged

    AlphaTrak(TM) can be used in locating and disabling automobiles that are sold to the "credit challenged" market.
    If a car owner fails to make their car payments, a signal will be sent to the AlphaTrak(TM) unit installed in the vehicle and the vehicle will be disabled until the car payment is made at which time another call is made to enable the vehicle.
    The disabled vehicle will be located via GPS tracking, and if desired, a tow truck can be dispatched to recover the vehicle.

    Fleet Management

    Managers and coordinators of large fleets of vehicles, such as police departments, county sheriffs, ambulances and other emergency vehicles, could benefit from our technology. Knowing exactly where their assets are located, the managers and coordinators would be able to dispatch the closest vehicle(s) to the scene thereby reducing response time.
    The ambulances, police and fire response vehicles could be immediately shut down if any one or more of the vehicles were highjacked during an emergency.
    Other fleets, such as, Waste Management, pest control, letter and/or package delivery companies could increase their efficiencies by knowing where each of their vehicles are at all times, where they have been, how fast they are going, and how long they have stopped at each point.
    An optional two-way alphanumeric communications panel can be installed in each of the fleet vehicles, also.

    Equipment & Containers

    Track and locate large containers, trailers and other equipment that can be easily stolen.
    By installing an AlphaTrak(TM) unit on or in a container or on a piece of equipment, a signal will be sent to a central location monitoring the unit that the container or equipment is being moved and possibly, being stolen.
    If the container or equipment is determined to be stolen, the AlphaTrak(TM) unit can easily locate and lead to the recovery of the stolen item(s).

    These are just a few of the potential applications for the Sys-Go(TM) and AlphaTrak(TM) products.
