(ShareCast News) - Starcom said it had won a three year extension to a contract with an unnamed international client for its Helios Hybrid tracking system.The company, which makes wireless remote tracking and monitoring products, said the extension will begin from the end of January this year.The first contract with the client followed a competitive tender and involved the supply of 100 units of the new Helios Hybrid unit.Starcom will now provide and install a hybrid GPS satellite-GSM based vehicle fleet tracking system. The system will be a hybrid (a combination of GSM and GPS satellite-based communications systems) land mobile vehicle fleet tracking system that would comprise a central management console (or consoles) and is able to track up to a minimum of approximately 250 client units."Yet again we have proved that on an international level, our Helios Hybrid, with its 'always connected' satellite tracking technology, is preferred over our competition's products," said chief executive Avi Hartmann."Our client runs a large fleet of vehicles and we hope that orders will follow within the three year period of the contract."
