ASHEVILLE, N.C., Aug. 22, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets:HISC) is pleased to announce that the South Carolina State Department of Education, Office of Transportation has agreed to test the Cyber Tracker in selected school buses beginning in January, 2006.
"In today's climate of increased risks to the safety of school children, in particular the potential risks faced by children who ride buses, The Department recognizes that there is a need to be proactive in exploring avenues that can increase the safety and security of children while they are in route from home to school and from school to home....The Cyber Tracker appears to be a multi-purpose devise that can benefit pupil transportation providers," stated John Dozier, Director of Safety Office of Transportation.
The Knox County, Tenn. school system recently issued a purchase order for the revolutionary Cyber Tracker to be installed on school buses which are used in its system. The Cyber Tracker provides real-time GPS tracking, speed monitoring, stopping time, and flashing lights. The Cyber Tracker will immediately notify the administration if the bus goes off course or is being driven erratically. The Cyber Tracker will allow the school systems to monitor where the buses go, when and where they stop, the vehicles' speed, and gas consumption.
"It is our goal for every school district in this country to provide their communities with the peace of mind that the Cyber Tracker offers. Our nation's school buses carry our most precious assets. Parents and School Administrators should know the precise location of the children. We have the technology, and it is an affordable way for these school districts to protect their students," stated Frank Moody, CEO, Homeland Integrated Security Systems Inc.
The Cyber Tracker will also be available for retail as a "portable family detection device," designed to provide real-time GPS tracking of vehicles, people, or other mobile or movable objects. Its convenient rugged design (5" x 5" x 1") makes it applicable in a variety of situations where it is necessary to know an exact location of a person or object. It features "Push to Talk" ability, and an extended battery life.
