FT. GRATIOT, Mich., Nov. 3, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- AVL Global, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AVLL) would like to update its shareholders on the current state of Telematics use for vehicles. More than 1 billion people, almost one in six of the world's population, are now using Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) time-division mobile phones. The recent FCC approval of the $41 billion takeover of AT&T Wireless by Cingular Wireless will further expand the popularity of GSM coverage in North America and greater use of GSM technology.
AVL has aggressively embraced the use of GSM as its favored mode for vehicle tracking and integration with GSM phone users for ease of use. While automotive telematic suppliers have been working on "invisible integration" of internet on wheels, AVL has completed their invisible application. Customers using AVL products can monitor the safety and security of their mobile assets with no driver input. Reports of any non-authorized travel or emergencies can be received on your GSM phone, regardless of your location. The increased pressure from legislators for hands-free technology in vehicles confirms the direction taken by AVL as being ahead of the field.
The combination of information and entertainment, "infotainment", as a steady stream, end-to-end solution flowing seamlessly into your vehicle, will be the "killer-app" for Telematics. AVL can already offer the first key to this application.
