According to euromicron's representative Dr. Edgar Bernardi (former Executive Board Member, COO and Chief Sales & Marketing Officer), "euromicron is well-positioned to leverage its core competencies in communications, data and security networks to capitalize on the existing and synergistic GPS tracking technologies of RemoteMDx and SecureAlert in an extended effort to exploit the need to bring technologically advanced offender tracking and monitoring solutions to the European marketplace."

He continued, "We are jointly committed to a long-term sales, marketing and financial relationship, which enjoins the two company's sales, marketing, monitoring and TrackerPAL deployment initiatives across much of Europe and throughout our licensed territory. The SecureAlert product suite is an excellent add-on to the communications, data and security fiber optics networks that we have been a leader in providing to major telecom and other major business enterprises throughout this important and growing part of the European community."

According to John Hastings (President & COO of RemoteMDx and SecureAlert), "This licensing and distribution agreement provides for several major milestones for the Company. First, it further demonstrates that the market demand for SecureAlert's portfolio of TrackerPAL products and offender monitoring solutions is a global market opportunity. Secondly, we are very gratified that a major European leader in the advanced data network space has chosen to partner with and invest in our firm. Additionally, given the large market potential within the 18 countries under this agreement, RemoteMDx will benefit over the near term through the ongoing revenue stream that this agreement will generate. This agreement should lead to much increased visibility for the company in several other world markets, capitalizing on the global need for enhanced public safety and homeland security initiatives, as well as providing support for alternatives to incarceration, re-entry and re-socialization initiatives."

Mr. Hastings continued, noting that, "Given the unique portability of our integrated monitoring center and one-piece GPS/RF/Cellular tracking technologies combined with euromicron's long-term market presence, communications infrastructure experience and in-market knowledge, euromicron is the ideal partner to help us drive growth and implementation of our solutions throughout much of Europe. We believe that together, the two companies are competitively well-positioned for strategic expansion and mutual financial growth."
