ZEBRA MOBILE PRINTERS KEY TO NEW TRAFFIC CITATION APPLICATIONS
THAT UNLOCK GREATER EFFICIENCIES, REVENUES FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES

More public safety agencies spend on mobile/wireless data capture, printing and reporting technologies to collect better data and more fines

Vernon Hills, Ill., March 1, 2006—Zebra Technologies (Nasdaq: ZBRA), a global leader in delivering on-demand specialty printing solutions for business and process improvement, reports its compact mobile and wireless printers are increasingly being incorporated into software solutions and electronic systems for law enforcement agencies by Zebra value-added resellers (VARs). Zebra's full line of mobile printers—including the Zebra RW 420, QL Series and Cameo Series—have proven to be rugged, reliable workhorses for the on-demand issuance of citations for traffic and parking violations, as well as accident report documentation.

Robert Danahy, director of global mobile and wireless technology for Zebra, explains: "News of technology advancement spreads quickly in the law enforcement community. Early adopters of automated mobile systems and wireless computing platforms have reported significant benefits, from reduced staff time to better record-keeping to higher revenue from increased fine collections. Given the budget pressures on state and local governments to do more with less,” he asked, “who wouldn’t be eager to get behind a solution that actually helps their department collect money?”

An example of how law enforcement agencies are deploying mobile and wireless technology to transform traffic and parking citation transactions follows:

City of Yonkers Deploys EZTag's Mobile Enforcement Solution for Parking Violations

Challenged by the unreliability and functional limitations of its existing electronic ticketing system, the City of Yonkers (NY) Parking Violations Bureau (PVB) turned to the EZTag Corporation of Plattsburg, NY, a leading provider of automated citation issuance and management solutions. As a result, the PVB was able to implement EZTag's Mobile Enforcement Solution (MES), which combines handheld mobile computers equipped with advanced imaging technology and Zebra QL 320 mobile printers.

The system enables completion and printing of a parking citation in 10 seconds or less, with relevant vehicle information scanned and populated into the appropriate application fields. The issuing officer only has to input the location information; the data is then transferred quickly and securely to the printer via Bluetooth wireless technology, and the ticket is printed. For the City of Yonkers, the MES has increased accuracy and drastically reduced its officers' time spent on paperwork, enabling them to focus on public safety.

EZTag’s solution - built around three fundamental elements of innovation, cost-effectiveness and reliability – will improve user productivity, reduce operating expenses and increase operational efficiencies. EZTag’s MES is also installed in various municipalities across the USA, including at Department of Public Works in Washington DC.

“In today's world of competing budget priorities and belt-tightening policies, state, municipal and township law enforcement agencies are finding mobile and wireless technology to be a practical, cost effective solution. Zebra is excited to be on the forefront of such advances in this technology, and to be able to work collaboratively with our channel partners and customers,” concludes Danahy.
