TLNT-Looking good.
LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 21, 1999--Telenetics Corp.(OTC BB: TLNT - news) Tuesday
announced that the Department of Transportation (``DOT') of the State of Arizona has selected Telenetics' proprietary modem
technology to monitor and report traffic volume and speed on state highways.
200 Units of Telenetics HideAway(TM) have been already installed and will operate on solar power. Telenetics
HideAway(TM) was selected after stringent field tests to insure that they met the operational requirements for the overall
system. The project is an ongoing component of the state's Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS).
HPMS data is now a critical component in the allocation of Federal-aid highway funds to the states as a result of passage of the
$130 billion Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21).
In addition to being an important source of information for indicators of performance on a national basis, Arizona's HPMS
program is unique in that it considers local community transportation system condition and performance as critical knowledge
for assisting in transportation planning decisions at the state and local government levels as well.
The decision by Arizona DOT is the latest in a series of successes Telenetics has had with various transportation authorities
across the country in the last six months:
In July Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) selected Telenetics' TrafficWach(TM) System for a field
installation.
In August the city of Charlotte selected Telenetics' proprietary digital Fast-Poll modems to be installed at 137
intersections as part of that city's Advanced Traffic Management System.
In September Telenetics' Traffic Management Systems Group (GDI) received a contract for the integration and supply of
networking and communications equipment that will form the
core of Philadelphia's new Transportation Management Operation
Center, in preparation for the Republican National
Presidential Convention hosted by the city in July of 2000.
In November Cities of Mesa, Ariz. and Inglewood, Colo. selected Telenetics' proprietary digital Fast-Poll modems for
automation of 650 to 700 intersections as part of their Advanced Traffic Management System.
Telenetics' products are used by more than 100 state and municipal transportation authorities in various traffic management
projects. Telenetics formed its Traffic Management Systems Group in May, 1999 after acquiring Reno, Nev.-based GDI.
Telenetics is an innovator in the design and manufacture of proprietary wireless and wired data-communications solutions for
utility and industrial automation, traffic management, intelligent transportation and oil and gas markets.
Telenetics' wireless solutions are already at work in many applications such as substation automation, power outage detection,
traffic automation projects, flow measurement and remote monitoring. The company is expanding its presence to many other
similar applications and markets by developing products and expanding its wireless services.
Telenetics offers Flat-Rate-Cellular(TM), a discount data transport cellular service to its customers.
Telenetics recently introduced a new proprietary technology that for the first time will enable businesses such as utility and
transportation companies to collect data or monitor their industrial devices in the field, transmit the data through wireless cellular
networks and receive it on the Internet.
