Ottawa, Canada, April 26, 2007 - Precidia Technologies Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of Internet Protocol (IP) access devices, and Staunch Corporation, a leading provider of Digital Video Surveillance technology and IT services to the Convenience Store/Petroleum Industry, announced today that it has provided an IP connectivity solution to Quarles Petroleum's remote fueling sites, migrating Gasboy™ fuel dispensers with cardlock systems and onsite video surveillance cameras to an IP network for faster transaction authorization, enhanced security and better remote management.

Quarles Petroleum required a solution that would deliver reliable, centrally managed video surveillance over their high-speed wide area network (WAN) for its 80 unmanned remote fueling sites, while also speeding the transaction time for drivers using the cardlock system. Turning to Staunch, they found the solution in broadband connectivity via the POSLynx220, developed by Precidia. The POSLynx220 multiport payment router features both dial and serial ports, delivering secure broadband connectivity for the onsite video surveillance system and the cardlock system with only one device.

A key issue at remote fueling sites, fuel card security is improved using the POSLynx220. By integrating the Gasboy™ fuel dispenser and onsite video surveillance system on the WAN, Quarles can search and view video based on transaction information. This transaction information is displayed with the video and has proven to be instrumental in helping Quarles' customers identify misuse of their fuel cards.

"We knew the potential of broadband for cost savings and speed, but needed a transition strategy to get us there", said Greg Natvig, Fuel Network C.O.O. of Quarles Petroleum. "The Staunch/Precidia solution helped us eliminate dedicated dial lines, while speeding transaction authorization from 12 seconds to under 2. With our video surveillance cameras also linked into the network, monitoring these unmanned sites has become more reliable. We have seen significant cost savings and operational efficiencies by converging multiple existing systems onto a common IP network, not to mention improved service to our customers".

By using the POSLynx220, Staunch was able to build a High Speed WAN that connects directly to their credit processing center. "In the past, this was something that could only be achieved by using a third party 'middleman' to process a store's transactions", said Staunch President Stephen A. Lary. "Cutting the middleman out will reduce processing fees for Quarles for years to come, while helping them to meet operational goals such as customer service and security".

Precidia president Deepak Wanner believes the POSLynx220 delivers a host of possibilities for petroleum and convenience store operators, including the management capabilities of NetVu™, the network configuration manager onboard the POSLynx220. "NetVu takes the simplicity and manageability of network connectivity a step further, facilitating remote configuration, PCI compliance management, alerts and transaction/network reporting", said Mr. Wanner. "Quarles has successfully leveraged payment routing technology to maximize existing systems for faster transactions and improved device management".

The POSLynx220 with NetVu is ideal for convenience store/petroleum applications. In convenience stores, the POSLynx220 can connect multiple dial and serial devices, such as ATMs, Ruby™ terminals, fuel tank monitors and check readers, to a broadband network with security. Enhancing the value for convenience store operators, this solution is PCI compliant, with features such as automatic dial back-up in case of network failure.
