XACT|TRAX personal tracking device equipped with u-blox 5 positioning

RESTON, Va., Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- u-blox, developer of advanced GPS
location and tracking technologies for commercial and consumer applications,
has been selected to supply XACT Technology(TM) LLC with high-performance GPS
receiver modules for its new line of portable personal tracking devices called
XACT|TRAX.

Introduced this week at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show in
Las Vegas, the innovative XACT|TRAX personal tracker provides users with
up-to-the-minute information on the location of loved ones, pets, vehicles and
other assets - wherever they may be. Follow-on products in the XACT|TRAX line
will include tracking solutions for laptop computers, giving users both
navigation capability and a means of recovery if the computer is lost or
stolen.

"XACT's ability to create an easy and affordable tracking device meets a very
large market need. By incorporating our unique positioning and location
technology, the XACT|TRAX operates with the highest degree of certainty and
speed," noted Nikolaos Papadopoulos, President of u-blox America. "The
powerful, 50-channel u-blox 5 positioning engine will allow XACT's tracking
devices to determine precise location, anywhere in the world, giving users
unparalleled location awareness and peace of mind."

The u-blox 5 positioning engine incorporates a variety of features to speed up
the time needed to acquire satellite signals and calculate position location.
Additionally, the receiver has been engineered to operate in weak signal
environments, such as urban canyons and parking structures. The result is the
fastest first fix and the ability to perform effectively in the most
challenging signal environments.

"XACT Technology is in the business of providing consumers with the very best
in electronics and technology," says Anthony Antolino, Senior Vice President
of XACT Technology. "When it comes to locating people's most prized
possessions, we made sure to build our personal tracking devices with the most
advanced and reliable GPS positioning component. The u-blox GPS solution gives
us the accuracy, dependability and robustness necessary to be sure our
products work everywhere our customers need them to."
