PLANO, Texas--June 29, 2004--Terion, a leading provider of trailer fleet management systems with approximately 80,000 devices installed, today announced the launch of its next generation trailer-tracking system, FleetView(R) 3. FleetView 3 combines the latest digital wireless and GPS technologies with Terion's robust web-based application and reporting system.

The Smarter Trailer Fleet Management Solution

-- FleetView 3 utilizes the CDMA digital wireless network, intelligently switching from 1XRTT, SMS, and circuit switched digital service with AMPS cellular capability. The result is the most powerful ubiquitous digital coverage available.

-- Digital technology combined with Terion's proprietary power management intelligence results in superior battery performance, further extending the performance of FleetView 3 when untethered from the tractor.

-- FleetView 3 supports over-the-air system upgrades and enhancements, eliminating the expense of taking trailers off the road and manually updating the unit.

-- The system was developed to perform in the harshest environments, exceeding the stringent SAE-1455 standards.

"FleetView 3 offers numerous enhancements and improvements gained from the experience of our current customers," said President and CEO, Ken Cranston. "The launch of FleetView 3 will allow Terion to continue to provide our customers with the best technology, deliver the most value, and position Terion for continued market leadership."

About FleetView 3

FleetView 3 provides a comprehensive trailer fleet management system that allows transportation companies to maximize efficiencies associated with trailer fleet operations by combining a high-bandwidth wireless path with intelligent messaging and sensor capabilities. Typical benefits associated with FleetView include an increase in trailer utilization and a reduced trailer-to-tractor ratio.
