ATLANTA, GA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 04/09/08 -- EarthSearch Communications International, Inc. (FRANKFURT: 3ES1), a leading supplier and developer of wireless and GPS-based tracking and navigation solutions, was awarded two contracts from the African nation of Nigeria last week, valued at more than $110M.

The first contract, awarded by DigiQuest of Nigeria, was developed as an exclusive, non-compete, five-year contract, and includes the distribution of navigation solutions marketed as NavPlayer(TM) and RoadNut(TM). In addition to exclusivity in navigation solutions, DigiQuest will also market and sell tracking solutions.

The second contract was awarded by LocateIT for over $25M with exclusive rights to market and sell EarthSearch tracking solutions marketed as AutoSearchGPS(TM) and AutoSearchRFID(TM). LocateIT will further purchase navigational devices for their market.

Nigeria is the second largest economy in Africa, and with a population of over 140 million, represents the largest consumer population of telecommunications products. As Africa's most populous country, Nigeria's economic profile provides wide ranging opportunities for wireless adaptabilities. The exclusive licensee agreement calls for the transfer of technology, training, marketing support, as well as technical support.
