CTH Antenna License Agreement Completed
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 11 /PRNewswire/ -- IAS Communications, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: IASCA - news) has
successfully completed a license agreement for the CTH Antenna with ARINC, Incorporated, an ORBCOMM value added reseller. ARINC,
founded in 1929 and headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, provides communications and systems integration engineering to business and
industry. ARINC's Dominium product line uses the ORBCOMM low earth orbit (LEO) satellite communication system, which provides global
communications coverage especially useful in remote areas that are not serviced by conventional or cellular telephone or other terrestrial
communications networks. The Dominium tracker unit is battery powered and equipped with the Global Positioning System (GPS). It can be
programmed to automatically report its position and other information like temperature, engine speed or load capacity, at any desired time
interval, or upon reaching a user-determined alarm value. Dominium also markets a data messaging line of products, which integrates
input/output devices for sending and receiving text messages.
A subscriber installs the tracker unit on the asset to be tracked or monitored for a variety of applications including truck tractors, detached truck
trailers, rail cars, ships and containers. Dominium currently provides service to national and regional trucking companies and to national
railroads. Container shipping companies are currently evaluating the product for delivery in 1999.
IAS Communications, Inc. is considering other application opportunities for the CTHA as there are eight low earth orbit and medium earth orbit
satellite systems being deployed by other satellite service providers in the near term.
The CTHA is a patented, compact, low profile, donut shaped antenna, flush mounted on an application at a fraction of the height of the
monopole antennas used today. Pursuant to the sublicense agreement with Integral Concepts, Inc, and West Virginia University, IAS
Communications, Inc. holds the worldwide rights to all commercial applications of the CTHA technology.
