Location Based Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: LBAS), a leading developer of comprehensive GPS tracker solutions, announced the signing of an exclusive license agreement with UT-Battelle, LLC (UT-Battelle), which manages and operates the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) for the US Department of Energy (DOE), to integrate and market UT-Battelle’s electric power restoration forecasting system, called VERDE™ Analytics.

Integration of ORNL’s VERDE Analytics environmental situation information with LBT GPS location information in near real-time, enables mobile service providers to dramatically improve responsiveness when managing through severe weather conditions and enhance worker safety at the same time using a single source to view the mapped information. LBT GPS tracker devices have been designed to significantly increase situational awareness by providing highly accurate location information for monitoring vehicles, mobile assets, as well as work crew personnel. The VERDE Analytics system combines more than 50 non-proprietary environmental and weather data feeds providing comprehensive maps along with up-to-the minute projections for restoration of power operations.

“This is a tremendous enhancement to our product offering and opens a new market segment for LBT,” said Location Based Technologies’ CEO, Dave Morse. “The ability for companies to track assets while monitoring severe weather will be of tremendous value to a number of companies, particularly public utilities. When a severe weather-related event occurs, our customers will be able to make better management decisions and more effectively coordinate its people and assets from our platform. It’s an extraordinary and unique proposition.”

LBT will have exclusive rights to market the VERDE Analytics maps with their GPS location technology. Integration is expected to be complete before the end of the second calendar quarter (Q2) 2014, at which time it will be offered to commercial customers as well as public utilities and other agencies throughout the US.

“This partnership will cost effectively help to speed restoring essential utilities in times of national emergency by putting powerful tools in the hands of repair crews managing through critical situations out in the field,” said ORNL Researcher Steven Fernandez.
