LEDCO Releases TuffHub, Groundbreaking New Network Hub

Plymouth, Mich. — June 23, 2008 — LEDCO, the Michigan-based company known for its innovative solutions in mobile computing, announced that it has officially released the TuffHub, the industry's first MIL-STD-810F vibration tested USB/Ethernet hub. The TuffHub is USB 2.0 certified, making it easy to add peripherals such as GPS, scanners, card readers, and printers. In-vehicle video can also be added via a RJ45 Ethernet port.

The TuffHub is the first of its kind to meet and exceed MIL-STD-810F, a standard developed by the Department of Defense. The TuffHub is ideal for in-vehicle use and has been validated against automotive OEM standards by LEDCO to perform in mobile vehicle environments where harsh vibration, power surges and electromagnetic interference play havoc on non-rugged devices costing companies expensive downtime.

"At LEDCO, we push ourselves to go beyond industry standards," said LEDCO President Mike Zani. "TuffHub is yet another example of how we [LEDCO] strive to exceed expectations of our clients, be they patrolmen, dock workers, or military professionals. At the end of the day, we want them to know that they can concentrate on their jobs and not their laptop equipment."

The TuffHub is housed in a shock resistant, self-extinguishing case with strain relieved ports that prevent accidental disconnects, and components that can operate to temperatures as high as 180o F or as low as -20o F. In addition, the TuffHub's streamlined design is simple to mount in tight quarters, such as small boat cabins, dashboards, or out-of the-way warehouse spaces. Other features include:

• A best-in-class, five-year warranty
• Inline fuse protection
• EMI/RF filtering
• A voltage regulator that protects peripherals from damage during over-voltage, engine cranking and voltage spikes

LEDCO Acquires CHARGEGUARD, Inc.
Combined Product Offerings Create Leading Mobile Computing Solutions

Plymouth, MI—February 5, 2008—LEDCO announced today the completion of its acquisition of CHARGEGUARD, Inc, a leading provider of mobile battery protection products. The purchase extends LEDCO’s portfolio in mobile computing solutions and peripherals for its customers in the public safety, telecom/commercial, federal government and military sectors.

This union brings together our rugged docking and mounting solutions with CHARGEGUARD’s ability to protect mobile battery life – which makes mobile working environments both safer and more productive for our customers." said Mike Zani, president of LEDCO.

Shortly after the product’s debut, CHARGEGUARD was voted as one of the Top 10 Products by the International Wireless Communications Community.

"It felt right when we started working with LEDCO. They seemed well-suited to continue the CHARGEGUARD legacy and were determined to follow through with the expansion of what I started 18 years ago." said Dave Kephart, founder of CHARGEGUARD.

"Acquiring CHARGEGUARD brings a significant brand name into the LEDCO fold. Like LEDCO, CHARGEGUARD’s products are known for leading the market in quality, design and value. The combined entity serves as a substantial base for launching additional rugged peripherals." said Daniel Muzquiz, COO of LEDCO."

VCA North America Announces the ISO 9001:2000 Registration of LEDCO

Plymouth, MI—January 8, 2008—LEDCO, a Detroit-based firm located in the city of Plymouth, MI has earned the official ISO-9001:2000 Registration from VCA North America, bearing certificate number 2000-0397. Certification under VCA North America's registration program was awarded in recognition of LEDCO's compliance with quality process standards and effective quality management systems in the design and manufacture of ruggedized mounting and docking products for mobile applications.

LEDCO's compliance to ISO 9001 quality assurance standards required the implementation of procedural changes, training, expanded documentation and alterations to operating systems in every department. President Mike Zani explains what this means to our customers and resellers, "ISO insures a greater degree of consistency, thus creating a higher degree of consumer confidence in our products. It guarantees that our processes do not vary." He adds, "It allows us as a company to not only highlight what we do correctly, but to also track any possible mistakes with greater accuracy; correcting any possible problems at a much faster rate than before."

ISO 9001 is a series of internationally-recognized standards and procedures developed by the International Organization of Standardization. These standards and procedures define requirements for the implementation of quality systems in operational procedures. They apply uniformly to companies of all sizes world-wide and industries involved in the design, development, manufacture, installation and servicing of products.

LEDCO COO, Daniel Muzquiz adds, "These processes put LEDCO in a position to move forward globally. We are now able to do business with larger partners, both nationally and internationally, that require ISO certification—this really opens the doors to future markets for us—we are enthusiastic about what our future with ISO holds."

ISO's inspection process for certification is in general a thorough, lengthy process, requiring several inspections and numerous audits to insure full compliance by the applying company. LEDCO found themselves in the minority, easing through the process at record speed with only one inspection and one follow up audit before registration sign-off by VCA North America. "As I recall and based on what I saw, LEDCO was in the top 95th percentile of all companies that I've audited [regarding compliance].", said VCA North America's Vice President of Management Systems Certification, Mike Sluder. He adds, "For a first audit, they were exceptionally good—a pleasure to work with."
