CalAmp Corp. (Nasdaq: CAMP), a leading provider of wireless
products, services and solutions, today announced that it will be
deploying a new SmartLink� I-Network platform for the Grand Bahamas
Power Company (GBPC) based in Freeport, Grand Bahamas. This project
will enable GBPC to provide island-wide seamless radio voice
communications on Grand Bahamas Island. The contract is initially
valued at approximately $1.5 million. The project will deploy the
SmartLink I-Network platform to establish redundant radio voice
communications for GBPC personnel throughout the island. As part of
the project, CalAmp will also be supplying three new communications
towers along with a 5.8 GHz spread spectrum wireless network to
link the towers to the main switch location at GBPC's Freeport
facility. The new SmartLink I-Network 800 MHz digital multi-site
radio system will replace GBPC�s existing VHF single-site radio
system and will allow GBPC to communicate in the future with other
agencies by utilizing the interoperability features of the
SmartLink system. Pedro Edwards, GBPC Project Engineer, said,
�CalAmp�s SmartLink solution is a very significant deployment for
GBPC and will enable GBPC to provide seamless and reliable coverage
for its personnel throughout the island. Furthermore, the
flexibility of the SmartLink system gives GBPC the ability to take
advantage of future technology upgrades without the expense
associated with replacing legacy equipment.� �This project is
further validation that the SmartLink platform represents a truly
flexible, open architecture communications solution,� said Michael
Burdiek, CalAmp�s Chief Operating Officer. �Our system was chosen
