to announce the signing of a partnership agreement entitling La
Capitale General Insurance ("La Capitale") to offer the
Mobiguard(TM) program to its car insurance holders. La Capitale is
now the third insurance company to join this car theft prevention
program.
Under the 24-month agreement, La Capitale will assume a
significant share of the cost for its policyholders for obtaining
the latest generation Mobiguard(TM) electronic immobilizer system,
while also giving substantial discounts on premiums to clients who
purchase Mobiguard(TM). La Capitale General Insurance is one of
Quebec's five leading insurance companies which is placing
Mobiguard(TM) at the core of its vehicle theft reduction
strategy.
Datacom and La Capitale have jointly developed an electronic
referral system that will allow La Capitale's agents to transmit

this program, thus ensuring them with timely and rapid service.

to help them schedule Mobiguard(TM) installations at service
centres throughout Quebec.

policyholders with a theft prevention solution that stands out from
conventional systems. This announcement attests to our commitment

starters, with no compromise in efficiency. Equipped with a remote
device, the system activates itself automatically and immobilizes a
vehicle if the remote device is not activated at the moment of
ignition.
"This partnership corresponds with the growth forecasts of our
business plan. This new agreement represents a milestone in
Datacom's continuing growth and reflects our commitment to provide
products with significant market potential," said Pierre Collins,
Datacom's President and CEO. More than 15 000 Mobiguard(TM) systems
