Initial deployments will be focused on government, military, commercial/enterprise and individual/consumer markets.

TeleType's primary GPS receiver, the TeleType WorldNavigator GPS receiver, adds substantial value and functionality to Xybernaut platforms including Xybernaut Mobile Assistant V (MA V) and Atigo mobile/wearable computers.

"This joint solution will allow enterprise customers to obtain increased situational awareness or knowledge management related to their day-to-day business operations," stated Ed Friedman, president of TeleType Co. Inc. "For example, a service technician responding to a customer request for assistance will save time and expense by being able to immediately pinpoint a customer's location while on the move."

"The anytime/anywhere navigation and tracking capabilities of the joint Xybernaut-TeleType solution allows users real-time access to location and asset information," said Steven A. Newman, president of Xybernaut. "Providing critical situational awareness allows individuals and organizations to make faster and better decisions -- which adds considerable value to our MA V and Atigo platforms."

As an example of this added value, Newman noted that the combination of Atigo daylight readable touch-screen displays and TeleType voice-prompting GPS creates an outstanding in-vehicle navigation system at a fraction of the cost of a single-use device.

The voice prompts allow the operator/technician to concentrate on the task at hand, whether driving, flying or some other complex task. For a minimal additional cost, fleet operators who are already enjoying the deployment advantages of our systems for a variety of mobile workforce solutions can now provide each of their drivers with a state-of-the-art in vehicle navigation system at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a stand-alone navigation system.

"This added value is possible," Newman added, "because the Company's computing and communications products are non-proprietary and built on open platforms -- which means that multiple products from other vendors will work right out of the box."

Xybernaut MA V and Atigo mobile/wearable technologies support open source and industry standard protocols, such as hardwire and wireless communications (PCMCIA/Compact Flash/WiFi), Microsoft Corporation operating systems (Windows 2000 Pro, CE .NET and XP), application/development software and peripheral devices (through USB, FireWire and serial/parallel ports).

WorldNavigator is a fully wireless Compact Flash GPS system for PC-equivalent computers. In combination with the included TeleType GPS software, the WorldNavigator GPS receiver allows travelers to navigate worldwide, in-vehicle, while walking, on a boat, or even in an airplane.

The TeleType and Xybernaut combined solution will eliminate cumbersome wires and offer a completely integrated computing and GPS device. In addition, Xybernaut devices integrated with GPS receivers can double as real time tracking devices that can monitor and report the location of personnel, delivery vehicles, or assets.
