Optical Systems, Inc. Launches Cutting-Edge GPS System for Auto Dealerships More Robust Than LoJack

DALLAS, July 29 -- Optical Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets: OPSY), a leading provider of software and services for the automotive retail industry today announced the launch of Save-a-Car GPS, a cost-effective, global positioning system for auto dealerships to monitor and track inventory.

"Save-a-Car is a low-cost, robust tracking system that represents a huge market opportunity for our company," said B.J. Grisaffi, CEO of Optical Systems, Inc. "There has been a lot of enthusiasm, excitement and positive feedback about Save-a-Car from dealerships. In today's market, dealers need scalable products that have a solid return on investment. Save-a-Car is a state-of-the art GPS system that helps dealers track inventory and maximize profit potential like never before. This small, covert system can be sold to the customer as a theft and tracking device that is much more robust than LoJack and available with no monthly fee. Our system works nationwide, where LoJack only works in certain areas," said Grisaffi.

In addition to offering superior tracking capabilities, Save-a-Car also allows drivers to save up to 35 percent on their insurance premium when installed.

Growing usage in automotive and consumer applications is propelling the mobile location technologies market, which is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of more than 20 percent to cross US$ 75 Billion by 2013, says "World GPS Market Forecast to 2013," a new market research report by RNCOS.

"We already have more than 30 dealerships enrolled in our Save-a-Deal and Business Development Center programs," said Grisaffi. "Save-a-Car is a complimentary and standalone product that can easily be integrated into our existing programs. We are optimistic that we will be able to leverage our existing customer base and generate sales for this new, exciting product and bring substantial revenue to Optical."

Save-a-Car is currently available through the Company's operating subsidiary, Automotive Software Designers.
