Golden Triangle Selects Path Finder From Digital Dispatch

RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 20, 2007) - Digital Dispatch Systems Inc. (TSX:DD) will be replacing a competitor's fleet management solution at Golden Triangle Taxi Limited of Cambridge, Ontario, with the Company's Path Finder application and Vector 530 mobile data terminals. This contract is worth over $450,000 including a long-term service agreement.

"It is our past experience with Digital Dispatch and their proven service record that prompted us to turn to them," said Dan Sibley, President of Golden Triangle Taxi. "We are currently the largest taxi company in the Cambridge-Waterloo region, and with our plans to grow and provide such services as taxi cards and other loyalty programs in the near future, we need a reliable technology provider with a proven long-term service record to support us effectively over the years."

"Taxi fleet management technology is a highly competitive market today. Technology is also both advancing rapidly and is becoming increasingly affordable at all levels. While we understand that this makes it tougher for any company in the technology-related market to be consistently on top, we are nevertheless very happy to maintain our leadership role," said Michael Hryb, Vice President of Sales, Taxi Division, for Digital Dispatch Systems. "We welcome Golden Triangle as our newest taxi customer."

Golden Triangle joins Digital Dispatch's growing list of Ontario-based customers, which includes Royal Taxi of Toronto, Airline Limousine, All Star Taxi in Mississauga, Waterloo Taxi, United Taxi in Kitchener, Veteran's Taxi in Windsor and You-Need-A-Cab in London.
