SOS Alarm and Technor Intl Establish Technical Platform

21 October 1998

SOS Alarm and Technor International Establish Technical Platform for Alarm Signalling
         Proven Reliability and New Technology Partner for Safety and
                              Security in Sweden

    STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Oct. 20 -- Swedish-based emergency
operator SOS Alarm AB is joining forces with Technor International, Inc.
wholly owned Swedish subsidiary CellPoint Systems AB to provide new services
across Sweden.  The establishment of the technical platform and a dedicated
communications link will enable the evaluation of vehicle theft location and
recovery as well as emergency assistance for personal alarms.
    "SOS Alarm's unique expertise is based on the joint functioning of people
and technology at the alarm receiving centres in combination with our
experience handling emergency situations," says Thomas Stenback, Business
Development Manager with SOS Alarm.  "Using CellPoint's positioning
technology, we will be able to take immediate action in locating stolen
vehicles as well as protecting individuals in the event of personal threat.
This is a major step in fighting crime against property and people."
    The CellPoint System uses the reliable GSM network for positioning stolen
vehicles and can also use the GPS system for positioning in emergency
situations.  When it comes to the recovery of stolen cars and other property
the GSM signal can penetrate indoors, a major advance in recovering stolen
property, such as personal vehicles, company vehicles, rental equipment, etc.
GPS satellite systems cannot address the recovery dilemma if a vehicle is
taken indoors, onboard a boat, into a container or underground, which is how
most crime rings operate.
    "The CellPoint System will have a major impact against these crimes
because vehicles and assets equipped with the CellPoint GSM terminal cannot be
concealed in the traditional manner," says Christer Forsstrom, Managing
Director of CellPoint Systems AB.  "Plus, using the telematics capabilities,
the vehicle can literally announce its presence to recovery personnel by
making its lights flash or the horn honk.  This can easily be remotely
activated by a control centre such as SOS Alarm."
   SOS Alarm provides a nation-wide rescue centre and has 25 years experience
providing alarm services to individuals, public and private companies.  Their
centres in every county in Sweden are manned around the clock, all year round
by 600 specially-educated SOS operators who receive approximately 16 million
calls per year.
    According to statistics, in 1997 approximately 8% of vehicle theft cases
in Sweden were solved.  In South Africa, over 90% of stolen vehicles equipped
with the CellPoint technology are recovered.  Forsstrom expects similar
results here in Sweden and sees explosive potential for the CellPoint
technology.  He says, "According to the Ovum Report this June on Mobile
Location Services, by the end of 2005, the number of vehicles equipped with a
mobile location device in Europe will be more than 10 million, with more than
7 million in North America.  We have a proven, working solution today and
fully intend to quickly deploy our technology to major markets."
    CellPoint Systems AB, a wholly owned subsidiary of Technor International,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TNOR) markets, sells, distributes and supports the
CellPoint digital cellular positioning technology.  CellPoint's primary focus
continues to be the initial target countries in Europe including France,
Italy, Germany, the UK and Sweden.
