Homeland Integrated Security Systems Signs LOI to Produce Tracking Solution for School Buses

Tuesday, 03 June 2008

Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. announced that the Company has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to form a strategic partnership with Sky Shield USA, a developmental company that is focusing on GPS tracking solutions for school buses. Homeland Integrated Security Systems and Sky Shield will produce a state-of-the-art tracking device to protect the nation's schoolchildren. "The School Bus/RFiD Solution" product will track the time and location that children enter and exit school buses, enabling parents, teachers and administrators to track their safety.

Homeland Integrated Security Systems will produce the device and the back end software, utilizing its Cyber Tracker technology. Each student's identification information would be entered into a database and logged by an RFiD reader, integrated onto the bus, when they enter and exit. Approximately 475,000 school buses provide daily transportation to 25 million elementary and secondary school children nationwide. It is estimated that nearly 5,000 students annually in the U.S. and Canada are left on school buses, with many cases involving special needs students.

"This agreement has the potential to change the way the nation increases the safety of our children, and we are elated to combine efforts with Homeland's technologies," stated Scott A. Timm, Co-owner of Sky Shield USA.

"This is an exciting opportunity for sales in a very important application. It's a win-win for everyone involved. Sky Shield USA plans on approaching the country's largest school bus operators and we plan to begin beta testing in the near future," stated Fred Wicks, CEO and President of Homeland Integrated Security Systems.

SkyeTek Introduces Security Solution for RFID Tags

Unlike many RFID reader offerings rely on tag manufacturers to provide security for RFID tag memory, Westminster, Colorado based SkyeTek introduces advanced RFID readers that implement security onto generic tags. The solution allows customers to switch RFID tags without finacial penalty. The results are immediate cost savings as well as long-term investment protection by allowing customers to switch tags without penalty.

According to SkyeTek, this solution allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and product designers to control their own security requirements and achieves the highest level of security in the industry while maintaining the lowest cost for customers.

Currently some tag manufacturers provide little or no tag security while others with the security features are priced with a premium. "Most companies consider security as an afterthought, but at SkyeTek security is a priority and we integrate innovative security capabilities into both HF and UHF readers," says Rob Balgley, CEO of SkyeTek. As part of a full security solution, SkyeTek supports several proprietary encryption algorithms that are generally tailored to provide enhanced security for...

Advanced ID Applauds U.S. NHTSAs Consumer Advisory on Tire Safety

Advanced ID Corporation, a leading developer of RFID technology for livestock tracking, pet recovery and supply chain applications, with a focus on tire management, applauds the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) recent Consumer Advisory on the dangers of aged tires. On June 2, NHTSA kicked off the summer driving season with a warning to motorists to check their tires -- including the spare - for signs of wear, under-inflation and age. The season's heat, especially in hot climates, can take its toll on worn, old or improperly inflated tires leading to tread separations, crashes and rollovers, the advisory said.

"We believe that NHTSA's consumer advisory on tire safety is going to have a significant affect on the rubber manufacturers - this is the first time the U.S. government has taken a public position on the issue," said Dan Finch, President and CEO of Advanced ID. "We have been actively supporting tire safety by consulting with and encouraging the tire industry to adopt the RFID as a solution to identifying, tracking and measuring tires from manufacture to scrap. Our global partners around the...
