OXNARD, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless
products, services and solutions, today announced the introduction of
the Aercept 1400S and 1450S Trackers for mobile asset tracking. These
new tracking devices feature more than 100-times greater GPS
reacquisition sensitivity and 20-times greater GPS tracking
sensitivity compared to previous Aercept offerings. Designed and
manufactured by CalAmp, the 1400S and 1450S are the latest GPS and
GSM/GPRS tracking devices used with CalAmp's Aercept-branded services
for locating and protecting vehicular collateral. These "S-version"
Trackers utilize super-sensitive GPS technology to greatly improve
tracking performance in all operating environments. They also enable
broader and more flexible installation options such as in the trunk,
door panel, side/kick panel, seat, floor and other areas of the
vehicle with challenging access to GPS signals. In addition, the
Aercept 1400S and 1450S are compatible with previous power cables and
harnesses, and are fully integrated with the Aercept back-end and
Internet systems, including the popular street and satellite mapping
features.

   "The launch of the Aercept 1400S and 1450S Trackers shows CalAmp's
commitment to continuous innovations by offering technology
advancements and a product roadmap that deliver practical benefits for
our customers," stated Jarvis Tou, Vice President and General Manager
of CalAmp's Aercept Group. "By using GPS technology designed for
indoor location applications, it is now possible to more accurately
determine location of vehicles in garages, covered parking structures
and urban canyons. The 1400S and 1450S Trackers deliver improved
tracking performance, increased flexibility and reduced installation
and support expenses, while minimizing common installation-related
reliability issues all through the use of super-sensitive GPS
technology."

   CalAmp's Aercept business provides an integrated GPS tracking
service with equipment and monitoring capabilities for vehicle asset
tracking applications such as 'buy-here-pay-here' dealerships that
specialize in automobile financing for high credit risk individuals.
Automobile dealerships and vehicle finance companies have come to
depend on CalAmp's patented technologies and processes that enable
lenders to lower the risk of their loans, and thereby address a larger
market of potential customers.
