IMS to integrate Intellione's advanced wireless road traffic technology
into its telematics and mobile solutions

ATLANTA, Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ - Intelligent Mechatronic Systems Inc. (IMS), the
leader in developing and delivering  advanced, end-to-end mobile in-car
solutions, today announced its plans to integrate  Intellione's
wireless road traffic conditions technology into its DriveSync(TM)  and
iLane(TM) products as well as new IMS solutions set to launch in the near
future. This exciting partnership is a result of the company's recent
acquisition of Atlanta-based Intellione, which will become known as
Urban Informatics Corporation (UIC) following the completion of the
acquisition. 

Today, iLane automatically notifies drivers of new in-coming emails and
reads them on command, which users can then reply to, forward, delete
or call back. In addition, iLane enables voice-interactive access to
other smartphone features and on-demand content such as calendar
appointments, SMS, phone calls and a library of content including news,
weather and sports. With the integration of Urban Informatics
Corporation technology, iLane users will enjoy on-demand, timely,
accurate and detailed traffic congestion information on roadways
throughout North America and abroad.

DriveSync is the leading end-to-end, turn-key telematics platform that
can be used for a variety of industries such as usage-based insurance
(UBI), fleet management and road tolling programs. The integration of
Urban Informatics Corporation technology will further DriveSync's
leadership by enabling the delivery of accurate and reliable traffic
information to drivers in a seamless, natural and effective manner.

"The recent acquisition of Intellione and the integration of its staff
and leading traffic technology into IMS solutions is extremely exciting
for IMS," said Dr. Otman Basir, Chief Executive Officer, IMS. "There is
a significant demand for reliable, accurate and timely traffic
information for drivers, and we are now positioned to offer even more
value to our connected car portfolio."

"We are excited to become part of the IMS family, and I look forward to
integrating our products to provide the most compelling and exciting
vehicle centric solutions in the industry," said David Winters,
formerly the CEO of IntelliOne who has joined Urban Informatics
Corporation as the General Manager of UIC, Telematics.
