  TORONTO, ONTARIO, Jul 31 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
AirIQ Inc. (TSX: IQ), a leader in Wireless Location-Based Services,
specializing in Telematics and Security, today announced that a large
National Construction Equipment Rental Corporation has selected AirIQ's
mobile asset management solution for its fleet of mobile generators and
heavy equipment.

    The initial agreement, which follows a period of extensive field testing,
calls for equipping generators in a specific region with a plan to expand
quickly to other regions across North America. The national footprint of
this new client provides AirIQ with the opportunity for quick geographic
penetration of their unique service.

    According to Anne Taylor, Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Commercial
Fleets, "The knowledge of daily usage patterns enables equipment rental
companies to perform maintenance service on their expensive equipment at
optimum times thereby extending equipment life. As well, with daily usage
information, these clients can bill their customers for actual usage
resulting in tangible economic returns on their telematics investment.
Winning this sale is highly strategic as it offers both a new customer
for our products as well as a channel to the end-users who rent the
commercial and industrial equipment."

    AirIQ launched its construction asset management service with a unique
offering which provides large companies that use mixed fleets (i.e. heavy
equipment, light-trucks and automobiles) the convenience of managing
their assets from a single portal. The Company has now extended this same
benefit to rental equipment companies.

    "We are delighted to have earned the business of this national rental
equipment provider, said Steve Willey, President and Chief Executive
Officer. "It is consistent with our focus on winning key accounts within
the construction segment and reinforces our commitment to improving
productivity within the infrastructure sector. The increase since the
first quarter of 2008 in this segment alone is almost 50%! We fully
expect that this agreement will further increase our market penetration
and serve as a beach-head for other activities in the equipment rental
market."
