|
Scottsdale, AZ -- National Scientific Corporation (OTCBB: NSCT), emerging leader in location-sensitive technologies, announced it has been awarded a contract by one of the nation's fastest growing school districts, Arizona's Gilbert Public Schools, a nationally recognized "Excelling School District", to install the company's Travado IBUS(tm) digital video and GPS tracking system on 60 school buses. Installation of this first phase is expected to be completed before September. Gilbert School District Director of Transportation Jay Morris said, "The security and safety of our 37,000 students and of our drivers and other employees is our first priority. The phased installation of state-of-the-art video technology aboard our buses significantly advances our ability to monitor and record the movement and actions of our charges from the moment they enter our vehicles until they are safely at school or home." The Travado IBUS(tm) system selected for Gilbert School District buses features an onboard digital video recording unit; GPS for recording bus speed and location; Wi-Fi wireless communications to transfer video and data to a base station located in the bus parking facility; tamper-resistant low-light and infrared cameras; secure, easy-to-use software; a trigger button so the driver can automatically record any special incident with time and location; and the ability to record bus functions, such as brakes, turn signals, hazards, amber and red overheads/stop arm, and parking brake. The system also provides diagnostics. Video and data are automatically downloaded, eliminating the need to go out to the bus to collect the information. National Scientific Corporation (NSC) President Graham Clark said, "Travado iBus(tm) has been operating in the Scottsdale Unified School District, north of Gilbert, since last April. Our technology is clearly being accepted by the larger school districts and we expect to announce more contracts in the weeks ahead. We are also attending a number of trade shows through the coming months to keep the momentum building." The company recently advised shareholders that it is also embarking on a new merger and acquisition program that will greatly expand NSC's offerings and income.
