("BSM" or the "Company") (TSXV: GPS), a leading provider of remote monitoring, fleet management, fleet diagnostics and automated vehicle security systems, today announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide its Sentinel FM asset tracking solution to a major U.S.-based service fleet.  For the initial implementation, valued at more than CDN$1.1 million over a three-year period, BSM equipment will be installed on approximately 850 vehicles.
