This data is based on the Company's internally calculated growth in change of use rates and TrackerPAL II early adopters between May and September 30, 2008.
  • The Company has deployed or agreed to deploy units and provide services in cooperation with approximately 22 new agencies, counties or other jurisdictions within the past approximate 60 days.
