Metro Fuel Oil Corporation Chooses Satellite Security Systems for Fleet-Wide
Control and New Homeland Security Concerns
Tuesday February 10, 8:06 am ET

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Satellite Security Systems (S3), a global
provider of asset security and
logistics control, announced today that Metro Fuel Oil Corporation of New York
is using its FleetGuard(TM)
application company-wide to secure and monitor 16 service vehicles and 40 fuel
and oil tankers.

FleetGuard, a desktop application, works with
S3's GlobalGuard(TM) to view, command, and
control each vehicle in an entire fleet at once.
GlobalGuard is a security communications
system, based on ReFLEX(TM) technology and
Global Positioning System (GPS), providing
up-to-the-minute vehicle location and control of
fixed and mobile assets. The S3 solution
continuously provides security analysis for
possible Homeland Security concerns where a
fully loaded tanker truck could be used as a
terrorist weapon.

"In our business it's imperative to protect
employees, customers, the public and the
company itself," said Paul J. Pullo, president of
Metro Fuel Oil Corporation. "S3 has the proven
track record to deliver the level of security and
service we require. If the unthinkable ever
happens and one of our vehicles is hijacked by
terrorists, it is very comforting to know that S3 will respond on our behalf and
work with law enforcement to take
control of the vehicle and shut it down before any damage can be done."

Metro Fuel Oil Corporation has been at the forefront of security awareness,
having installed GPS prior to 9-11 and
supplied emergency services immediately after the attacks. Metro recently
upgraded from an old GPS system to
FleetGuard for its superior features and the remote engine shutdown capability.
Its entire fleet of 40 tanker trucks
will be outfitted with GlobalGuard so that in the event of a hijacking or other
security breach, the truck can be
stopped and controlled. Also, Metro's service vehicles will have
up-to-the-second tracking capabilities in order to
increase business efficiency and route planning.

"The addition of Metro Fuel Oil Corporation to our customer base reinforces the
traction we are gaining in the
trucking and hazardous materials industry," said John Phillips, COO of Satellite
Security Systems. "S3 is now
working with leading trucking companies on both coasts. The need to protect and
secure these fleets is a
paramount concern to these company executives and S3 is proving to be the
solution of choice for proactive
industry leaders."

Metro Fuel Oil Corporation operates in the New York City Metro area and serves
thousands of commercial,
industrial, and residential accounts along with numerous New York State
Government agencies and the Federal
Government, including the Department of Defense. They also serve many bus
companies, fleets and local school
districts. Additional information is available at www.metroenergy.com .
