VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – WebTech Wireless Inc. (TSX:WEW), a leading provider of location-based and fleet telematics services, announces its partnership with NelTech Logistics, Foster Park Baskett Insurance, and Rogers Communications in the creation of NelTrak, a comprehensive wireless communications strategy, including the Oilfield Services Package for end-to-end fleet management, designed specifically to meet the evolving demands of vehicle fleets operating in the production and service segments of the oil and gas industry.

NelTrak is a unique blending of four specialized partners who can significantly increase the ROI of oil and gas companies worldwide with a suite of customizable solutions. It brings together vehicle tracking and telematics provided by WebTech Wireless using Iridium™ satellite technology, Rogers’ constant-coverage wireless network, NelTech providing strategic business services and Foster Park Baskett, who specialize in risk management for oil and gas companies of all sizes.

WebTech Wireless’ Quadrant™ mapping has been enhanced with LSD (Legal Subdivision) data, LSD search features and specialized map data to provide accurate information about access roads and oil and gas installations. WebTech Wireless Locators™ provide real-time data, allowing fleet managers to track and manage their mobile assets, with messaging and dispatching abilities, including lone-worker functions that provide significant improvements to worker safety. NelTrak allows a customer to manage the maintenance of their vehicles from their desktops, and monitor if they are working within operational, governmental safety and environmental guidelines. This lowers costs and improves risk management, since all aspects, including insurance policies, can be customized to a company’s evolving usage profile.

“This partnership demonstrates that WebTech Wireless can respond to customer needs, not only by developing the best technology, but also by partnering with industry leaders. These are the ideal partners to take this end-to-end solution to the customer, allowing them to lower their costs, increase safety and meet governmental and environmental compliance. With more than 300,000 vehicles just in western Canada’s oil and gas industry, this represents an incredible opportunity for everyone involved,” said Anwar Sukkarié, President & CEO, WebTech Wireless Inc.
