(\"Sirit\") (TSX: SI), a global provider of radio frequency identification (\"RFID\") technology, along with its partner, Axiompass, a leading integrator and supplier of tolling equipment and RFID systems, announces that Sirit's RFID technology has been successfully installed and integrated into the first Electronic Vehicle Registration (\"EVR\") system in Latin America.The EVR system represents a continuation of the initiative by the Mexican government to enhance security and safety on roads across the country. This follows the initial inauguration by Mexican President Felipe Calderon back in June 2009.Sirit's IDentity 5100 (\"ID5100\") and lane controller technology read the National Public Vehicle Registry tags while cameras also capture an image of the license plate. The data is then transmitted to a central database which matches the data to vehicles of interest. This enables the various regional enforcement agencies to recognize identified vehicles on a watch list and take appropriate action as the vehicle travels along the highway. To date, forty-two lanes have been installed by Axiompass and are fully operational.\"We are thrilled to have installed the first fully functional EVR system in Latin America. We continue to find that the ID5100's flexibility and ease of installation enables a seamless integration of the new RFID system into Mexico's current infrastructure. We are very pleased with the progress and success of this project,\" commented Jeronimo Beltran, President, Axiompass.\"I am very excited to have Sirit's ID5100 reader and lane controller technology as an integral piece of the first operational EVR system in Latin America. This is a testament to Sirit's development efforts creating leading edge, functional and reliable RFID technology. We believe this is just the start for Mexico and other countries as the positive impact on safety and security is generated through the implementation of a full scale EVR system,\" added Wolf Bielas, President Latin America, Sirit.About Sirit Inc.Sirit Inc.
