Location Based Technologies Receives AT&T Network Approval for PocketFinder and PetFinder Devices

IRVINE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)

Location Based Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:LBAS), a leading-edge service provider of personal, pet and asset GPS locator devices, received confirmation from KORE Telematics of AT&T’s (NYSE:T – News) laboratory completion and approval for both its PocketFinder^® GPS locator devices and PetFinder^® GPS pet locator devices.

“AT&T’s network approval is a tremendous achievement and is the final milestone enabling the company to begin sales and delivery of product in the United States,” states Dave Morse, CEO of Location Based Technologies. “With FCC, PTCRB, and AT&T approvals we have proven that our miniaturized personal GPS locator device technology is not only sound but that it is now ready for market.”

The PocketFinder family of products (for people, pets, personal assets and commercial or private vehicles) uses advanced patented technology to help families and businesses stay connected. As the smallest known single-board GSM/GPS device, the personal locator fits easily into a pocket, purse or backpack while the vehicle devices are self-contained and easily installed. All personal GPS locator devices can be accessed via the Internet, cell phone or landline to show the device’s exact location in real time. The GPS locator devices also include advanced features such as allowing users to designate customizable alert areas as electronic “fences” to notify them when a family member or pet enters or leaves a specified area. The devices can even track vehicle speeds to encourage safe driving decisions – especially for new or commercial drivers.

“Demand for this product is great and we are pleased to be able to bring the PocketFinder^® and PetFinder^® to market, where it can address so many important needs and give people greater peace of mind for the safety of their loved ones and other valuable assets,” said Morse.
