SiriCOMM introduces Truck Routing and Mapping Services
FleetNav Express by Maptuit Now Available at All SiriCOMM Wi-Fi Hot Spot Locations
Joplin, MO. – March 2, 2006— SiriCOMM, Inc. (OTC BB: SIRC) today announced that FleetNav Express by Maptuit is available at all SiriCOMM Wi-Fi Hot Spot locations.
FleetNav Express is an online, subscription-based, navigational aid that allows owner-operator drivers and small fleets to get an unlimited number of truck designated routes and full-color interactive maps.
SiriCOMM is introducing FleetNav Express by offering a bundled services package that includes a one-month subscription to both InTouch and FleetNav Express. The bundled services package is offered at a 30% discount and is available to all customers through April 30, 2006.
This relationship reinforces SiriCOMM’s strategy to market its network as a robust application host platform. Hank Hoffman, president and CEO for SiriCOMM, said, “Our vision is to build a powerful network that brings value to the entire trucking industry, whether through our own services or by working with other industry leaders.
FleetNav Express provides owner operators with a powerful online solution to create accurate directions and optimized fuel plans for single-point or multi-point routes on truck-designated roads. Drivers access FleetNav Express through the use of an Internet connection. Once the driver has typed in the load origin and the stops along the way, FleetNav Express will return a direction set and map to the driver in a printer-friendly format. Drivers will be able to reap the benefits from the savings they can realize using FleetNav Express’ optimized fuel plans and least-cost truck-friendly routes. FleetNav Express is available online at http://www.fleetnavexpress.com
“SiriCOMM is an ideal partner for Maptuit,” said Jeff Papos, CEO of Maptuit. “Our intent is to make FleetNav Express accessible to the growing owner-operator market. To meet that goal, we needed a network solution that made FleetNav Express readily available to drivers while they are on the road. The SiriCOMM Wi-Fi Hot Spot network provides over 300 convenient connecting points for drivers to use the service. It only makes sense for us to work with SiriCOMM.”
