About Google Earth

Google Earth is a geographic browser -- a powerful tool for viewing, creating and sharing interactive files containing highly visual location-specific information. We call these files KMLs (for Keyhole Markup Language): what HTML is to regular Internet browsers, KML is to geographic browsers. You can open KML files in both Google Earth and Google Maps, as well as in many other geographic browsers.

Gerry Wight, who has been the Director of Marketing, will be taking on the additional role of running the worldwide sales operation in his new role as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing. Gerry will be responsible for the direction, planning and execution of the company's marketing programs, oversee product / service development, product positioning and pricing. He will also assume responsibility for leading the sales force, and our sales channel partners. With over 25 years experience in Marketing and Sales Gerry will continue to provide expertise to the executive management team in support of strategic business development.

Concurrently, Douglas Bigrigg has been appointed to the position of Canadian National Sales Representative.

"Doug is returning to his true passion involving direct involvement with customers and Gerry will continue to support and enhance company activities through key operational and strategic planning initiatives".

As the New Year begins I am pleased with the successful year Daniels experienced in 2007 as we introduced our highly successful MT-4E product platform. Looking ahead to 2008 I feel very positive as we launch more new products including 800 MHz and other products that we will tell you about in coming issues of this newsletter. As you have read above we are continuing to expand internationally as P25 establishes itself in other countries. I am also expecting a strong interest in our preconfigured packages that will provide a more timely delivery of Daniels products.

The year ahead will be another busy and challenging one for us and we look forward to meeting with you at one of our seminars or tradeshows.

Robert Small, President & COO
