IRVING, Texas, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EF Johnson Technologies,
Inc. (Nasdaq: EFJI) today introduced the Discover(TM) GPS Speaker Microphone.
The Discover(TM) GPS Speaker Microphone transmits location, text messages, and

"Military users and search-and-rescue teams need a reliable tool for
accurate real time locating and tracking information," said Michael Jalbert,
president and chief executive officer of EF Johnson Technologies, Inc. "Our
new Discover GPS Speaker Microphone is an excellent tool for coordinating
field operations and seeing the location of group members in real time." A
large, backlit LCD screen provides an easy to use icon-based operation and
allows for graphic representation of relative distance and direction to other
team members. Text messages and waypoints can be transmitted to groups,
individuals or dispatch. Highly accurate location data can be transmitted over
analog or digital channels, clear or encrypted, with every push-to-talk or at
pre-determined time or distance intervals. The Discover GPS Speaker Microphone
is compatible with a number of commercially available graphic and mapping
applications for complete real time situational awareness and group
coordination.

GPS location solution. The real time location of personnel can be transmitted
to other group members or back to a central location. This data can be used in
conjunction with compatible mapping and tracking software to provide new
information beneficial for maximum efficiency and safety of personnel,"
Jalbert said.
