Westminster will provide merger and acquisition (M&A) services as well as examine strategic and financial options as the company meets the increasing demand for Astrata's new Geo-Location Platform (the "Astrata-GLP," known as "Astrata-Sirius" outside the United States).

Supported by nearly 100 engineers at Astrata's R&D and manufacturing facilities in South Africa, the Astrata-GLP sets a new standard in meeting international and domestic homeland security needs. By integrating GPS data and wireless communications, a complete operating system and onboard over-the-air programmable intelligence into a device half the size of a modern cell phone, the Astrata-GLP enables the remote monitoring and tracking of trucks, vessels, containers, trailers and other vehicles. Customized applications can be integrated for virtually any requirement in a wide range of markets, including container tracking for homeland security, biometric driver identification systems, and safety related monitoring of employees.
