ATX Technologies,

Since its debut in 1995, ATX Technologies (www.track.com) has been a dominant front runner in the vehicle tracking and personal security industry. ATX has not only produced a cutting edge product in the OnGuard Tracker, it has also expanded its services to provide the most superior vehicle tracking system available.

The OnGuard Tracker was the first product of its kind in the GPS/cellular industry to ship to the public and is the only company in the industry to boast complete vertical integration from design, manufacturing and marketing.

ATX engineers have recently set another industry-first by producing an embedded, two-way voice/data cellular device. The embedded cellular device was produced in conjunction with Standard Communications, a wireless communications company based in San Jose, CA.

As well as being a technology standard, ATX is also a customer service leader. ATX is the only company in the industry that employs an "in-house" monitoring service, the OnGuard Response Center. All vehicle monitoring is maintained by a staff of certified Emergency Communications Specialists who monitor customer's vehicles 24 hours-a-day, 7 days a week.

The OnGuard system also offers customer convenience services such as roadside/directional assistance, low battery notification and automatic power door lock control.

ATX Technologies has taken advantage of partnership opportunities to provide customers with ever increasing product service. A recent agreement with AT&T Wireless has provided OnGuard customers with wireless service via the AT&T cellular network, thereby eliminating the need for a separate cellular phone and service. This service allows ATX to offer its OnGuard customers a lower monthly wireless fee.

Other joint ventures include a partnership with Grupo Protexa, a Mexico City-based company, to offer service throughout Mexico. "ATX is committed to offering our customers the most innovative product and complete customer service available," said President and CEO, Steve Riebel.

ATX Technologies, Inc., formerly ATX Research Inc., located in San Antonio, TX is the leading provider of vehicle tracking, personal security and directional assistance for the aftermarket of personal automobiles. ATX has recently started marketing its products to truck fleets and anyone needing to track or locate heavy equipment.

Each member of the OnGuard Tracker product family can be installed in any vehicle to protect owners against theft and other crimes, and provide convenience services. There are over 160 OnGuard dealers nationwide. Information on dealer locations is available by calling 800/466-4827.
