Announcing eLynx Technologies SMS4D: SMS Text Messaging Lends a Hand to Oil and Gas Industry Alarm Technology

LSA, Okla. -(BUSINESS WIRE)- May 10, 2006 - eLynx Technologies announces the immediate release of SMS4D, the latest monitoring and alarming solution engineered specifically for the oil and gas industry. SMS4D uses SMS (short message service) text messaging to notify users of remote changes in system status. Coupled with the eLynx web interface, the SMS4D is a powerful tool which allows constant monitoring and response to system malfunctions, and saves time and money in lost production.

SMS4D's exciting innovation utilizes existing cell phone technology to send alarm messages to users. SMS4D requires no new infrastructure making it extremely cost efficient. It offers dependable coverage through 90% of the U.S. and its coastal regions. Installation is quick and easy, and the user can program and administer the alarm system through the easy-to-use web-based interface.

Two eLynx products, CompressorLynx and AlarmLynx, make use of this exciting, new technology. CompressorLynx signals compressor shutdown. AlarmLynx allows up to four inputs which the user can program. Typical applications for AlarmLynx indicate tank level, valve position, low temperature on dehydrator, high or low pressures, loss of commercial power, low flow, and intrusion detection.

John Powers, Chief Operating Officer of eLynx Technologies notes, "Using CompressorLynx or AlarmLynx to notify operators of alarm conditions or system outages in real time saves operators thousands of dollars. Operating by exception is critical at the current commodity price levels," Powers said.

eLynx Technologies was formed in August 2000. eLynx provides real-time data collection, production reporting, trending, monitoring and control via the Internet for the oil and gas industry. The company headquarters are in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at 6655 South Lewis and a regional office in Houston is located at 16800 Greenspoint Park Drive.
