Numerex Introduces AccelaView?

New telematics service offers comprehensive vehicle intelligence

ATLANTA, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- [ Numerex Corp. ](Nasdaq: NMRX), a leading single source provider of secure machine-to-machine (M2M) products and services, today unveiled its AccelaView™ application to meet the core needs of the insurance industry and other customers. This scalable and customizable telematics platform enables customers to build their own vehicle monitoring programs.

Combining wireless technology with an easy-to-use device, AccelaView enables the design of customized programs to assess driver risk through Numerex FAST™, an Open Platform as a Service built for scalable data requirements. With the use of telematics, a wide range of businesses from fleet owners to insurance companies can accurately capture meaningful information from a vehicle to determine driving patterns.

"Based on customer feedback, Numerex proactively developed AccelaView to improve its customers' telematics applications by adding intelligence capabilities to basic tracking," said Stratton Nicolaides, chairman and CEO of Numerex. "This application not only provides a more dynamic way of offering programs for safe drivers, but also taps into the growing demand of 'green' initiatives."

Key features of the AccelaView application include:

A driver scorecard based on weighted scoring of such factors as excessive speed, acceleration, deceleration, nighttime driving, miles driven and total driving time;
Tracking capabilities for the end-user to track vehicle location anywhere and anytime, if a GPS-enabled device is being used; and
Customizable settings to send real-time alerts of vehicle status to end-users.

In addition to providing the software application, Numerex will assist insurance clients and others with fulfilling the device; selecting the wireless network; and integrating the Numerex FAST application to clients' existing enterprise systems for seamless automation and scaling of the program.

According to the recent ABI Research Cellular M2M Markets Report, traction is increasing for offerings linked to driver characteristics. "Telematics has the potential to be a game changer for consumers becoming increasingly aware of the safety and environmental benefits," said Dominique Bonte, practice director of telematics and navigation at ABI Research. "Not only do programs linked to actual driver behavior offered by insurance companies reward mindful, fuel-conscious drivers with low premiums, but regulators like the 'green' aspect of usage-based insurance products helping reduce emissions, which is quickly becoming a popular feature among drivers in general."

The AccelaView application will be featured at the [ Insurance Telematics 2010 ] conference and exhibition in Chicago from Sep. 13-14, 2010, where Rick Burtner, SVP of Numerex and GM of its LBS Group will be participating in a panel discussion around new technologies for the insurance industry.
