Trakm8 Secures Bluetooth Device Order From US Data Company

LONDON (Alliance News) - Telematics company Trakm8 Holdings PLC on Thursday said it has secured a deal with an unnamed US-based data company to supply its T10 BLE device.

Considerable engineering investment has been required to create an enhanced product with tremendous potential which can be utilised both in North America and elsewhere," said Executive Chairman John Watkins.

Shares in Trakm8 were up 8.4% on the news to 244.00 pence, one of the best performers in the AIM All-Share in early trade.
