CAMP CalAmp Corp

CalAmp Corp. (NASDAQ:CAMP), a leading provider of wireless products, services, and solutions, today announced that it has launched a new Location Monitoring Unit, the LMU-1450 Tracker, for mobile asset tracking. Designed and manufactured by CalAmp, the LMU-1450 is a new tracking device incorporating integrated internal GPS and GSM/GPRS antennas, and is used with CalAmp�s Aercept-branded services for locating, monitoring and protecting vehicular collateral. The compact dimensions of the LMU-1450 Tracker (2.0� x 4.0� x 0.8�) are expected to result in faster, easier and more tamper-resistant installations. In addition, the LMU-1450 is compatible with previously installed power cables and harnesses, and is fully integrated with Aercept's internet-based customer interface and back-end systems, including the popular street and satellite mapping features. �The launch of the LMU-1450 Tracker shows CalAmp�s commitment to product innovations by offering technology advancements that deliver practical commercial benefits for our customers,� stated Jarvis Tou, Vice President and General Manager of CalAmp�s Aercept business. �The Aercept LMU-1450 Tracker improves ease of installation and reliability through the use of integrated tamper-proof internal antennas.� In addition, CalAmp recently began offering pooled rate plans for the services used to monitor vehicles. Similar to �family plans� offered by cellular carriers, the pooling of actions gives customers additional flexibility in managing their service costs. CalAmp�s Aercept business provides an integrated GPS-based tracking service with equipment and monitoring capabilities for vehicle asset tracking applications utilized primarily by �buy-here-pay-here" automobile dealerships that specialize in vehicle financing for high credit risk individuals. According to the 2007 National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA) Used Car Report, $75.8 billion in used car sales were financed through independent auto dealers in the United States during 2006 as Grade C paper or lower, representing an annually addressable market of nearly 9 million vehicles. Vehicle financing companies have come to depend on CalAmp�s patented technologies and processes, which enable lenders to lower the collateral risk of their loans and thereby address a larger market of potential customers.
