("Sirit") (TSX: SI), a leading\nprovider of radio frequency identification ("RFID") technology, along with its\npartner, Axiompass, a leading integrator and supplier of tolling equipment and\nRFID systems across Mexico, announces the successful implementation of the\nfirst electronic vehicle registration ("EVR") monitoring system in Mexico. The\nsystem was inaugurated by Mexican President Felipe Calderón today.\n\n\nUtilizing Sirit's stationary automatic vehicle identification ("AVI")\nmonitoring technology, vehicles are tracked as they pass through the Alpuyeca\ntoll plaza and mobile AVI monitoring technology in Cuernavaca, both in the\nState of Morelos. Sirit's reader and lane controller technology read the\nREPUVE (National Public Vehicle Registry) tag while cameras also capture an\nimage of the license plate. The data is then transmitted to a central database\nwhich matches the data to vehicles of interest. This enables the various\nregional enforcement agencies to recognize identified vehicles on a watch list\nand take appropriate action as the vehicle travels along the highway.\n\n\nInitial plans suggest this monitoring system will be implemented\nthroughout the State of Morelos, with the potential for additional states to\nbe implemented before year end through various RFP processes.\n\n\n"I am very impressed with the sophistication and ease of implementation\nof Sirit's technology which enabled the entire system to be installed in under\na month," commented Jose Antonio Romero Santoyo, Vice President Operations,\nAxiompass. "The system is functioning beyond expectations and can be easily\nintegrated into similar installations throughout Mexico."\n\n\n"I am very excited that the Secretaria de Seguridad Publica has chosen\nSirit's technology for their first installation. We have leveraged our 15\nyears of experience from the installation and operation of various tolls roads\nthroughout the United States, such as the SR 91 toll road in southern\nCalifornia, and applied our knowledge to this new system in Mexico," added\nWolf Bielas, President Latin America, Sirit.\n\n\nAbout Sirit Inc.\n\n\nSirit Inc.
