QuadTech International Unveils the 880MV Multi-View Tracking, Monitoring, and Communication Station

Posted on: Wednesday, 7 June 2006, 06:00 CDT

QuadTech International, Inc. (OTCBB: QTII), a global provider of leading-edge Internet and IP-based technology solutions, announced today that it has unveiled a new addition to its iPMine mine-safety product line-up: the 880MV multi-view tracking, monitoring, and communication station.

Working with its technology partner, iPackets International Inc. (PINKSHEETS: IPKL), QuadTech introduces the 880MV to provide mine operators with a consolidated source of tracking, monitoring, and communication with miners, allowing them to manage disasters effectively.

Built to withstand the harsh mining environment, the 880MV multi-view station is made from industrial steel panels and is flexible to configure. A multi-view station can be configured with up to five cabinets and a combination of multiple industrial-quality LCD monitors, track balls, joy sticks, keyboards, and mice. The track balls and/or joy sticks allow monitoring operators to concurrently select specific areas/zones of the underground mining terrain and navigate through them in real time.

Once an operator is locked in on an area/zone, the full iPMine-VU functionality will be available to him -- including two-way communication, the ability to track miners' movements, and the power to control any piece of mining equipment outfitted with iPMine-M8s.

The 880MV can be configured with a single copy of the iPMine-VU server software, which collects and relays information to the Tracking and Monitoring Client (TM Client) module. The TM Client module provides users with the interface to control the system and adjust such settings as system administration, maintenance, tracking, messaging, reporting, status, clean-up, and online help.

"Leveraging our depth of experience in the mine-safety industry, combined with a sophisticated knowledge of wireless technologies, QuadTech believes it is strategically positioned to capitalize on new opportunities in the multi-operator environment," said John Meier, president and chief executive officer at QuadTech. "The 880MV is the latest innovation in a product portfolio that is poised to become the global standard in mine safety over the next decade."

The 880MV multi-view stations will be available for delivery in third quarter of 2006 and are competitively priced. A single cabinet configuration starts at US$25,000.
