Smart-tek Solutions has received an initial US$5 million order from the People's Republic of China for its proprietary RFID tracking and containment system.

"The Chinese government has placed their initial order with our sole licensee, SES Investment (China) Ltd. who in turn, placed an order with Smart-tek. The initial order received today represents the beginning of the implementation process of our RTAC-PM system in China," said Perry Law, President of Smart-tek Communications, Inc. "Once the system is successfully implemented at select farms chosen by the Chinese government, we anticipate significant orders to follow as the nation tries to contain the threat of the virus to its more than 13 billion chickens."

The RTAC-PM system was designed for the livestock industry and is targeted specifically for the poultry industry with user defined alerts that could assist governmental agencies to monitor poultry movement. The RTAC-PM system incorporates leading edge technology and is customized around customers' requirements with the flexibility to adapt to various types of OEM products.

The company hosted a demonstration of its RTAC-PM system in China in March which was attended by more than 50 Government, academic and industry experts.

"The World Health Organization has recommended that containment and monitoring of poultry movements be amongst the first lines of defense in the world-wide fight against bird flu," said Law. "We are prepared to present our system to any nation that expresses an interest in an immediate solution for the containment and monitoring of poultry. To date, we have had numerous organizations from all over the world express an interest to learn more about our RTAC-PM system."
