MILITARY MOVES FORWARD WITH FIELD TRIAL OF BORDER SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

Total Telcom Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, ROM Communications Inc., has been awarded a contract by a South American military to field test ROM's border monitoring technology. The military has identified 17 out of several thousand potential sites to install an integrated Water-TraX/magnetometer to help detect remote border incursions. The estimated value of the contract is $50,000.

Company chief executive officer Neil Magrath stated: "We are optimistic our Water-TraX system will be shown to be an effective aid in managing remote borders. The company is also actively having conversations with various governments in the region for both environmental and military applications."
