Terion Passes 100,000 Units Installed on the Way to Changing the Trucking Industry; FleetView 3(R) Trailer Management System Drives Sales Growth

PLANO, Texas--Jan. 2, 20067, 2006--Terion announced today that it has exceeded 100,000 installed FleetView units. The milestone caps a year of significant sales growth, during which new installations increased by over 60%. With this achievement, Terion has fortified its position as the market share leader in trailer management systems.

Terion cites sales of its FleetView 3 system as a key factor in the company's continued growth. Accepted as the most complete trailer tracking solution available, FleetView 3 offers several exclusive tools and capabilities that help users increase trailer utilization, reduce trailer-to-tractor ratio, improve cargo security, reduce fuel costs, and increase driver satisfaction.

FleetView 3 Exclusive Features

-- Available for multiple trailer types -- including dry vans, flatbeds, and refrigerated trailers. Also available for Reefer monitoring.

-- External installation means rapid deployment whether the trailer is loaded or empty.

-- Patented Cargo Sensor measures the entire length of the trailer.

-- Software enhancements are downloaded over-the-air, eliminating time and expense associated with taking trailers out of service to add features.

-- FleetView Tractor ID(TM) reports the tractor's identification code and fleet code through the FleetView unit, minimizing misdirects and identifying trailer misuse.

-- Thanks to high-bandwidth communication paths, each FleetView message contains up to ten events. Customers receive more critical information to better manage the trailer fleet -- all at a lower cost.

-- A full range of solar charging options provides significant improvement in battery performance and overall battery life.

"This milestone not only illustrates our commitment to providing the most comprehensive trailer management solutions to our customers, but also that our clients and the trucking industry are responding," said Ken Cranston, President and CEO of Terion. "In the future, we will continue to enhance FleetView to ensure that Terion continues to meet the needs of the industry."

About FleetView 3

FleetView 3 is a comprehensive trailer fleet management system that helps transportation companies maximize operating efficiencies. The product communicates real-time trailer location and event status when the trailer is tethered or untethered, and provides an accurate record of loaded or unloaded status by way of a patented Cargo Sensor. Typical benefits associated with FleetView include an increase in trailer utilization and a reduced trailer-to-tractor ratio.

The technology behind FleetView 3 combines a high-bandwidth digital wireless path with intelligent messaging and sensor capabilities. The design also incorporates GPS and digital CDMA cellular technology for seamless coverage. Using patented Terion hardware and software, information is delivered to the user over the Internet and/or through integration with popular dispatch applications. A unique feature to FleetView 3 is that it also supports over-the-air software downloads for upgrades and enhancements -- which eliminates the time and expense associated with taking a trailer out of service.

FleetView 3 can be installed on dry vans, flatbeds, and refrigerated trailers -- which can be monitored remotely.
