@Road was also recognized as one of the fastest growing Silicon Valley technology companies as part of Deloitte's Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 Program

Fremont, Calif. (October 26, 2006) – @Road, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARDI), a global provider of next generation solutions for Mobile Resource Management (MRM), today announced that the company has qualified for Deloitte’s 2006 Technology Fast 500, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. Rankings are based on percentage revenue growth over five years, from 2001–2005. @Road’s revenues grew 238 percent during this period.

“We can attribute our performance to our international expansion program, an insightful new product strategy, and a group of dedicated @Road employees who share a passion for delivering advanced MRM solutions to our customers,” said Krish Panu, president and CEO of @Road. “We’re proud to be recognized by Deloitte once again as one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America and in the Silicon Valley.”

This is the fifth consecutive year that @Road has earned a place on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list. In addition to ranking on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, @Road ranked 23rd amongst Internet, Media & Entertainment, and Communication companies on the Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50, which is a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology firms in the Silicon Valley.

"Sophisticated technology is becoming the norm and is in almost everything in the 21st century," said Tony Kern, deputy national managing principal of Deloitte’s Technology, Media & Telecommunications industry practice. "@Road has developed technology solutions that deliver in today’s highly competitive world, and we applaud their efforts, ingenuity and teamwork in becoming one of the fastest growing technology companies in North America."

The Fast 500 ranks the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in North America. It is compiled from Deloitte’s 16 regional North American Fast 50 programs, nominations submitted directly to the Fast 500, and public company database research. Companies are selected based on percentage revenue growth from 2001 to 2005.

Entrants must own proprietary intellectual property or proprietary technology that contributes to a significant portion of the company's operating revenues, or devote a significant proportion of revenues to research and development of technology. Using other companies' technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify. Base-year operating revenues must be at least $50,000 USD or $75,000 CD, and current-year operating revenues must be at least $5 million USD or CD. Companies must be in business a minimum of five years, and they must be headquartered within North America.

Winners of the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 program, which ranks North America’s top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies.
