CORTE MADERA, Calif., March 22, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Smart-tek Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB:STTK) announced today that Chinese government officials present at the successful demonstration of the Company's RFID tracking and containment system have requested detailed cost estimates for the state-of-the-art technology.
"Our sole and exclusive licensee for China, SES Investment (China) Limited, was approached by several governmental officials following the demonstration of our RTAC-PM (RFID Tracking Alert Containment and Poultry Monitoring) system," said Perry Law, President of Smart-tek Communications, Inc. "Due to the rapid spread of the H5N1 Avian Influenza across the globe, the government is pressed to find a containment solution and implement an action plan to help combat this worldwide issue before the situation deteriorates even further."
In conjunction with SES, the Company will now further analyze the requirements of the Chinese government and as expeditiously as possible provide a specific budget for the hardware, software and implementation costs to install a complete RTAC-PM system.
"With an estimated 13 billion chickens in China alone, this project represents a tremendous opportunity to further grow and diversify the Company's revenue stream," said Law. "We believe that the successful demonstration will also open up opportunities in other parts of the world that have been affected by this devastating outbreak."
