AIR Introduces New Hosted AVL/GPS Application

(Oct. 16, 2006) — American International Radio, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of SafeBus™, a Client Server Software Application for Automatic Vehicle Location/GPS monitoring of mobile assets in the student transportation industry. SafeBus offers to its clients the option to access the AVL/GPS data from a locally hosted server or computer by having the application uploaded locally at the site of the client, hence offering a feature-rich software application that is customized for the specific needs of the student transportation industry, whether it is for yellow or white fleet vehicles.

Until recently, the SafeMobile GPS Software (called, SafeMobile Asset Management System - MAMS TM ) was available only in the format of a web-based application. MAMS provides an Internet based version of the GPS software that can be accessed with a secure login and password from anywhere in the world. It offers features in map and table format, such as: current positions of vehicles, historical data of vehicles, excessive speeding and engine idling alarms, silent and non-silent duress alarms, event monitoring (ignition on/off, stop arm, door open/close, emergency exit).

Although MAMS can offer a fully fitting system to the needs of school districts, AIR designed SafeBus TM GPS Software with a wider range of features and capabilities that are fully compatible and integrate-able with routing software applications, hence, offering a more detail oriented system for the student transportation industry. In addition to all of the features offered by MAMS, SafeBus TM features: customize-able user interface, data import from virtually any routing software application, planned routes, actual routes, analysis of planned versus actual routes, stop times and locations, information about the driver, driver directions, customize-able pop-up alarms, an internally built control panel for playback of historical data, interface for student tracking, and many more.

The advantage of the client/server architecture is that it reduces network traffic by providing a query response rather than total file transfer. It also improves multi-tier user updating through a Graphical User Interface front end to a shared database. Our clients will get all or most of their information and rely on the application server for things such as configuration files or to offload application tasks back to the server in order to keep the client computer free to perform other tasks. All the data can be kept centrally at the server, thus making it easier to assure its reliability.

American International Radio, Inc. once again proves its commitment to performing service in a manner that will consistently fulfil its customer's needs and provide perfect solutions to their problems.
