Remote Knowledge, Inc. (OTC BB: RKNW), a developer of remote
communications and telematics solutions, and Iridium Satellite, a
provider of worldwide mobile satellite communications services,
today announced that the two companies are partnering to provide
vital communications and tracking services for the Voyage of Hope.
The Voyage of Hope is a three-year round-the-world sailing
expedition under the auspices of the National Stroke Association.
The Hope is a 28-ft sloop, which is captained by Les Bissell, a
stroke survivor. The goal of the trip is to raise stroke awareness
and educate people around the world as to the warning signs of
stroke and treatment options. Remote Knowledge has donated and
installed an rk3000 marine telematics device, which will provide
automatic tracking and position reporting through the Iridium
satellite network. The rk3000 is equipped with a handheld user
interface terminal allowing Bissell to communicate with local
authorities in the instance that he requires assistance. The rk3000
will also monitor his critical systems, including battery power,
and will alert Bissell onboard if a problem occurs. "The safety and
peace of mind provided to Les Bissell by these combined
technologies are truly extraordinary. National Stroke Association
(NSA) is also excited about the possibility that these
communications systems can help Les and NSA increase the awareness
about stroke around the world," said James Baranski, CEO of the
National Stroke Association. Randy Bayne, President and CEO of
Remote Knowledge said, "The rk3000 system will provide 24-hour
tracking, monitoring and reporting of the sailboat's position and
status, providing an important margin of safety for the boat and
its crew during their courageous voyage." Don Thoma, Iridium
Satellite executive vice president for Data Services, observed,
"The shore support staff will have round-the-clock access to the
boat's location and status. In case of emergency, the satellite
tracking system will be able to summon help immediately regardless
of its location." Thoma noted that Iridium is the only truly global
satellite communication system with coverage extending into the
extreme polar regions, which will be important when the sailboat
rounds the southern tip of Africa. Bissell said, "We are very
grateful to Remote Knowledge and Iridium Satellite for supporting
this important cause. The satellite tracking system will provide a
critical link for ship-to-shore communications throughout the
voyage." The sailboat's progress will be updated in near-real-time
on the Voyage of Hope website (voyageofhope), as it makes
its way across the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic ocean and rounds
Africa's stormy Cape of Good Hope. About Remote Knowledge Remote
