TELIT AND INTOXALOCK® HELP KEEP FLEETS SAFELY ON THE ROAD WITH WIRELESS BREATH ALCOHOL DEVICE

Raleigh, NC – August 10, 2011 – Telit Wireless Solutions, Inc., an internationally leading specialist in machine-to-machine (M2M) technology, announced that its CC864-DUAL cellular M2M module will provide connectivity for the advanced wireless Intoxalock^® ignition interlock device from Consumer Safety Technology, Inc. (CST). 

The Intoxalock Mobile eLERT™ (Electronic Live Event Reporting Technology) device will provide fleet managers with real-time alerts, GPS location, and photo images of drivers to reduce risk, protect employees and make the roads safer. The eLERT offers fleet managers the chance to protect their fleet before a DUI offense occurs and allows risk managers the opportunity to closely monitor drivers after a DUI.

“By equipping fleets with the Intoxalock eLERT, we are able to offer up-to-the-minute monitoring and GPS tracking in conjunction with the protection of an ignition interlock device.  This allows companies to ensure the safety and responsible behavior of their drivers and to respond to offenses in an efficient and timely manner,” said Scot Lewton, vice president of CST.  “Telit’s compact modules were easily integrated into the unit design, allowing us to maintain portability while providing reliable, product-enhancing cellular connectivity.”

The new Intoxalock Mobile eLERT unit instantly uploads breath sample information to Intoxalock’s secure, online WebLog Reporter.  Enabled by the Telit CC864-DUAL module with GPS capabilities, fleet managers can also access essential driving information, including a vehicle’s coordinates, speed and route, with date and time stamps to remotely monitor employees.  To ensure user adherence to safety programs, the Intoxlock Mobile eLERT unit includes a small, mountable camera for positive identification of the sample provider and sensors to detect tampering or device circumvention.

“With the advanced wireless capabilities, the Intoxalock eLERT device clearly demonstrates the power of M2M technology, adding new features to a product that not only provides a business value to fleet managers, but also contributes to public safety,” said Mike Ueland, vice president and general manager of Telit Wireless Solutions North America.

With its ultra-compact design, and extended operating temperature range of -30° C to 80°C, Telit’s CC864-DUAL is the perfect platform for medium-to-high-volume M2M applications and mobile data and computing devices. In addition to other value-added features, the CC864-DUAL incorporates standalone GPS and gpsOne^® capabilities for applications in mobile environments such as telematics, personal and asset tracking, as well as over-the-air maintenance and management of software in the module to protect customer investments.

Telit offers customer assistance and information exchange for device designs in the Telit Online Technical Support Forum, an open developers platform that also serves as an invaluable technical knowledge database for the entire M2M community.  Telit is also inviting developers from around the globe to gather October 10, 2011 for the inaugural Telit DevCon.  For more information, visit www.regonline.com/telitdevcon2011.
