QuikTrak Tracking Technology - Fighting Terrorism


London, 19 April 2004 - QuikTrak Networks plc (AIM: "QTR"), the secure tracking
and data messaging network operator is playing a part in the ongoing fight
against terrorism through its technology partner Sonic Communications (Int) Ltd
and its development of the QT Aegis, a small portable tracking device.



The QT Aegis is part of a wide range of products specifically designed for
emergency service agencies, armed forces and crime intelligence agencies
worldwide. The QT Aegis is fitted with a personal duress button that can be worn
on a belt or carried in a pocket. Sonic is a leader in specialist audio and
video communications technology and works closely with the UK's police forces
providing custom-built leading edge solutions and equipment, helping to make
them one of the safest and most efficient forces in Europe.



David Bryan, Managing Director, of Sonic Communications commented,

"Few countries in the world have not suffered from terrorist violence over the
past three decades. Domestic and international terrorism is now at the top of
the agenda for most nations. The QuikTrak technology greatly assists police
forces and intelligence agencies to prevent and combat threats to personal
safety. Tracking for protection is the only way to ensure the safety of those
who put their lives at risk for the public, whether it be police, military or
humanitarian effort. We are very excited to be able to add this product to the
range for our existing clients."



Guido van Alphen, COO of QuikTrak added,

"For every employer, there is a duty of care and it is perhaps fitting that the
police and armed forces are the first to implement such a device for protection
and monitoring of their personnel. In Australia, the police have been using the
technology for more than seven years for VIP, royal and police protection, as
well as in crime scenarios. The most famous case was that of the serial killer,
John Glover, who was eventually arrested by police who used a QuikTrak device
covertly installed within his vehicle. We fully expect that as we extend the
coverage area of the network across the country, many other police forces will
want to use our technology in a multitude of ways."



QuikTrak uses advanced spread-spectrum radio technology and is not reliant on
any third party. This means it can provide low cost, highly secure tracking and
data communication for its users via a small portable transponder fitted into a
case of any size.

Notes to editors





QuikTrak

QuikTrak is a telecommunications business that specialises in secure, reliable
and low-cost location, real-time tracking and mobile data communications. The
Company provides solutions for locating and tracking vehicles, people and mobile
assets through a terrestrial positioning network based on patented technology.



QuikTrak is able to locate objects or people that may be hidden from view;
unlike GPS-GSM systems it is almost impossible to jam and does not require '
line-of-sight'. This difference not only makes QuikTrak more effective and more
secure than existing tracking technologies but the system provides a lower cost
alternative to other tracking solutions available in the market.



QuikTrak Technology Applications

The potential applications for the technology are diverse, but currently
QuikTrak is focussing on a number of key areas including:

      Lone Worker Protection - tracking of individuals who work alone such as
emergency services workers. The QuikTrak technology is to be trialled by a
number of UK police forces, local councils, service organisations and Primary
Health Care Trusts.

      Commercial Fleet and Personnel Management - tracking of commercial
vehicles such as courier or freight companies. In this market the QuikTrak
technology is currently being trialled by companies such as a leading
London-based courier company and utility and services organisations.

      Security Systems - such as asset security (for example cars, motorbikes,
plant and equipment) and alarm systems. In this market QuikTrak is currently
being trialled by a number of high profile companies.



The QT Aegis

      The unit is fitted with a personal duress button which gives audible
feedback when the alarm is received by the network.

      Alert messages may be sent from a central office to the device where
separate sounds alert the wearer/bearer/owner to 'call-in' for instruction, etc.

      It has a battery life of between 9 and 18 hours, depending on the
frequency of tracking.

      Robust metal case design with optional belt loop.



QuikTrak Revenue Model

QuikTrak earns revenue from the sale of the tracking/messaging device. Ongoing
revenue is then secured by charging a recurring annual connection fee and for '
airtime usage.' The business model aims to partner with service providers in
specific sectors rather than seek to sell directly into the sector.
