SkyBitz(R) Protects Assets Through Expanded Portfolio of Tank and Tire
Pressure Sensors

STERLING, Va.June 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- SkyBitz(R), the leading remote
asset tracking and information management service provider, today announced
the availability of Tank Activity and Tire Pressure sensors. The two new
sensors, together with SkyBitz's comprehensive suite of intelligent sensors,
provide superior remote monitoring and diagnostic capabilities of enterprise
assets.  

The SkyBitz Tank Activity Sensor provides valuable information about the
content status of tank-based assets by indicating whether a valve has been
opened to release gas, petroleum or chemicals. Serving chemical and oil and
gas transportation services, the sensor affordably tracks and records events,
and detects potential theft or unauthorized discharge of product.

The SkyBitz Tire Pressure Sensor provides quick, on-tire pressure
identification. Mounted on the wheel end, the sensor continually monitors tire
pressure to detect under inflated tires while reducing tire maintenance, fuel
costs and accidents from improperly inflated tires.  Tire pressures are
visually displayed for the driver and delivered via satellite directly to the
InSight user. Provided by BAT RF by STEMCO, the Tire Pressure Sensor works
with STEMCO's mileage sensor. SkyBitz customers who already use the mileage
sensor can expand capabilities to tires for an increasingly comprehensive
solution.

"As the needs of our expanding clientele evolve, we continue to develop
products and technologies that meet their requirements and extend our total
solution," said Craig Malone, SVP, Product Development, for SkyBitz. "The Tank
Activity and Tire Pressure Sensors enable customers to improve visibility,
maintenance and efficiency of assets; provide event-based monitoring of
cargos; and increase asset safety and security."

Information from both sensors is delivered to end-users via SkyBitz's InSight
Asset Management Tool, a best-in-class software application for tracking,
monitoring and managing a broad range of assets for multiple industries.
