SiriCOMM Enters Network Pilot Program With ACS Network to Be Installed at PrePass Roadside Weigh Stations JOPLIN, Mo., May 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SiriCOMM, Inc. (OTC:SIRC) (BULLETIN BOARD: SIRC) , an applications service provider and nationwide broadband wireless network operator serving the highway transportation industry, today announced a pilot project agreement with ACS State and Local Solutions, Incorporated ("ACS"). Under terms of the agreement, SiriCOMM will install SiriCOMM Wi-Fi Hot Spots at eleven select PrePass locations. Upon successful completion of the pilot program, SiriCOMM will serve as the data communications service provider for operations of the PrePass service at all PrePass locations. PrePass is an automatic vehicle identification (AVI) system operated by ACS that allows participating transponder-equipped commercial vehicles to bypass designated weigh stations. PrePass is currently available at 252 weigh stations in 24 states. The purpose of the pilot program is for ACS and SiriCOMM to jointly implement and evaluate the capability of SiriCOMM's network to support the PrePass program. SiriCOMM will install a SiriCOMM Wi-Fi Hot Spot at each of the ten PrePass test sites. The pilot program will demonstrate the network's ability to provide broadband data connectivity in support of the operation, maintenance, messaging, and other services at PrePass roadside weigh stations. ACS will pay to SiriCOMM a monthly service fee per site during the term of the pilot program. The eleven selected PrePass test sites are located in the following cities: Harrisonville, MO; Riverside, AR; Cordelia, CA; Joplin, MO (2); Coffee, TN (2); Cleburne, AL; North Platte, NE; Delta, LA; and Bovina, MS. A complete SiriCOMM system will also be installed at the ACS network operations center, located in Tarrytown, NY. ACS is responsible for securing agreements from the requisite state officials for approval to install the SiriCOMM equipment. "Our network technology was designed specifically for the transportation industry with a focused goal of improving operations through better communication. Extending our network to weigh stations throughout the country will showcase how a unified network can serve the entire industry," commented David Mendez, executive vice president of sales and marketing at SiriCOMM. "We are excited to provide technologies that will expand the boundaries of what's possible at the roadside and, most of all, we are excited about working with ACS and the PrePass program." ACS and SiriCOMM have agreed to explore future value added services for both the government and the commercial carrier market upon successful completion of the pilot program. SiriCOMM's network solution is a convergence of IEEE 802.11 wireless- fidelity (Wi-Fi) networking and satellite communications. The technology combination creates a unique opportunity capable of serving any North American location with cost efficient, high-speed wireless Internet access. The solution utilizes processes that make available higher than normal data transmission rates while reducing inherent latency delays, resulting in response times that typically are one-third less than that of many satellite data services. SiriCOMM Wi-Fi Hot Spots are presently installed at 255 Pilot Travel Centers nationwide as well as independently operated travel centers and truck fleet terminals. The Company plans to continue installing hot spots, focusing on high-traffic locations frequented by truck drivers and other industry stakeholders.
