“We are getting tremendous interest in our

business customers, who are excited about how we can help them to track their
valuable shipments or better manage their field assets,” said Brooks Marsden,
Vice President Sales.

“I am pleased to be

service fills a real need for our customers, and presents an exciting
opportunity for distributors and re-sellers with connections into our target

with them to bring the benefits of location technology to our
customers.”

About GTES:
GTES has historically focused on providing
support for Glenayre wireless messaging infrastructure and software. Recently,
however, the company has expanded its development activities to include wireless
location technologies, a market that analysts forecast at $3.6 billion by 2010.
In support of this new strategic direction, GTES has developed SHERLOC™ (www.sherlocgps.com), a complete one-stop wireless location
service, which provides the flexibility of being protocol neutral and network
agnostic. Targeted at business customers who need to track their high-value
shipments or better manage their field assets, SHERLOC™ is a hosted application
that combines configuration flexibility with ease of use.
