Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (Nasdaq:ITRN); TASE:ITRN) announced today that Telematics Wireless Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary of Ituran, was awarded a $2 million order for end-user location devices as part of a master agreement with a Chinese customer.
The customer, which was not named, provides location-based services in Beijing with an Ituran location system that was deployed recently by Telematics Wireless.
Ituran provides location-based services, consisting predominantly of stolen vehicle recovery and tracking services, as well as wireless communications products used in connection with its location-based services and various other applications.
The master agreement was signed in August 2004 between Telematics Wireless and the Chinese customer, along with a specific production agreement between the parties.
This order of the end user location devices will be delivered during 2006 for operation in Beijing.
Ituran co-CEO Eyal Sheratzky said, "We believe that the Chinese market has significant potential for us, and this initial order marks a first milestone of our penetration into this phenomenal market."
