Louisiana State Police Choose Paradigm Advanced Technologies to Provide GPS-based Tracking/Navigation Services

    BATON ROUGE, La. and TORONTO--Dec. 5, 2001--The PowerLOC Division of Paradigm Advanced Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:PRAV) today confirmed that it has been chosen by the State of Louisiana to supply GPS capabilities for the State Police Vehicles for incident reporting. Phase I of this project involves outfitting some 550 State Police Vehicles to ensure real-time tracking using each individual vehicles' Mobile Data Computer (MDC) to display latitude, longitude, date and time. In addition, Powerloc's Destinator(TM) navigation software has been designed for this project to provide an interface with the Louisiana State Police's existing Aether reporting software to provide GPS coordinate information.
    Phase II of the project will involve the utilization of a new VLD design capable of interfacing with DSP's existing Motorola infrastructure to provide Automatic Vehicle Location for all State Police Vehicles. The Louisiana State Police currently has approximately 550 MDCs installed in vehicles statewide and expects to increase this number over the next few years. These terminals utilize the 800 MHZ infrastructure for remote connectivity to the RNC server located at the Data Processing Center.
    "This is a real honor for PowerLOC and a tremendous affirmation of our technology and the company. We are truly looking forward to this opportunity - an opportunity to work with a highly regarded police force in ensuring that they will have pertinent location data about each vehicle involved in the project, which will help them to efficiently and effectively manage each of the vehicles and the officers in them. In addition, it should also provide a sense of security and safety for each of the officers and their families to know that their precise location can be identified in real time during times of crisis," said Eduardo Guendelman, President and C.E.O. of Paradigm.
    The PowerLOC location based technology is highly accurate, programmable, portable and secure. The system is ideally suited for rapid installation in the police vehicles and is expandable to accommodate other vehicles as required. Its design permits real-time verification of location, routing and duration of trip while giving the police officer an emergency signal capability for enhanced security if any operational difficulties are experienced.
