ISELIN, N.J., June 19, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Track Innovations Ltd. ("OTI") (OTIV), announced today the launch of a new service 'EasyPark Private' (the "Solution"), which enables owners of privately owned parking spaces to rent these out when not in use, by the hour. The service is initially being launched in Israel.
EasyPark Private is a patent pending parking solution that is accessible via a mobile application ("app") and website, www.EasyParkPrivate.com. EasyPark Private allows drivers to immediately locate a parking space around their location or around their destination as well as to reserve the space in advance, while allowing the owners of a private space the flexibility to simply lease their space by the hour at times that are convenient for them.
The launch of EasyPark Private provides clear benefits to both drivers and private parking spot owners by opening up additional parking spaces in crowded centers and busy times where demand often exceeds availability. EasyPark Private is usually 30% less expensive than similar parking garages in the same area and time of day, thus offering drivers a more cost-effective way to park and real-time information about availability of such parking spaces. With EasyPark Private the parking space owner keeps 60% of the payment.
In Israel, drivers using EasyPark Private will pay a fixed amount for every parking hour of 7.5 New Israeli Shekels (NIS), with 4.5NIS going to the private parking spot owner and 3NIS going to EasyPark as service fee.
Certain studies of parking in cities around the world outlined that about 30% of traffic in city centers is caused by drivers searching for parking spaces. EasyPark Private will help to relieve the lack of parking in many cities by allowing thousands of spaces left vacant by their owners to be used by other drivers. Additionally, directing drivers to pre-reserved spaces will result in lower pollution and fuel wastage, while also reducing stress on motorists.
EasyPark Private is a separate but complementary solution to the existing EasyPark on-street parking payment system that has been available in Israel for over a decade. EasyPark's existing customer service center is also responsible for support of EasyPark Private customers, both drivers and parking spot owners.
The new service is leveraging the power of the community supported by an advanced technological platform. It provides an interesting source of passive income to private parking space owners, a convenient, inexpensive and easy to use parking service to drivers and a perfect solution to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution in the city.
"We designed EasyPark to successfully manage the fast-paced changes facing cities, and EasyPark Private further addresses this need," said Oded Bashan, Chairman and CEO of OTI. "EasyPark has an established customer base through which to offer an expanded range of parking solutions, such as EasyPark Private. We are excited to launch this new solution in Israel, where we have sold more than 750,000 EasyPark in-vehicle devices to date, and look forward to expanding it to other cities around the world."
Mr. Bashan concluded, "Not only does EasyPark Private enable a higher revenue sharing model for our business, it also creates a brand new revenue stream for an existing subsidiary."
EasyPark Private is part of the newly implemented EasyPark(TM) parking information and payment system that was designed to provide municipalities with a 'one-stop-shop' for all their parking payment needs. At the center of the system is the EasyPark in-vehicle device that provides the most cost effective and secure parking payment solution to date. The system was designed and built with the consideration of budget constraints of municipalities, allowing for modular implementation at minimal costs to the municipality.
EasyPark Private is based on the application developed by ParksPool, an Israeli Startup company acquired by Parx earlier this year.
Nutzer sollen mit ihrem Handy an weltweit mehr als 33 Millionen MasterCard-Akzeptanzstellen bezahlen können. Die strategische Partnerschaft solle Basis einer europaweiten Zusammenarbeit sein, um das mobile Bezahlen voranzubringen, teilten die Unternehmen am Montag mit. In weiteren europäischen Ländern gehe die Bezahlmöglichkeit sukzessive in den nächsten Jahren an den Start.
Noch in diesem Jahr will die Deutsche Telekom erste SIM-Karten vermarkten, die die Mastercard-Funktion über die Nahfunk-Technologie NFC (Near Field Communications) nutzen. Dabei wird die Transaktion berührungslos von der Handy-Mastercard an ein Terminal übermittelt. Die Verankerung auf der SIM-Karte soll das Bezahlen besonders sicher und für den Kunden transparent machen. Jede Transaktion wird per SMS bestätigt.
Aufbauend auf der Kooperation mit Mastercard will die Telekom im vierten Quartal eine Testphase für eine erweiterte mobile Brieftasche starten, für das erste Halbjahr 2013 sind erste Produkte angekündigt. Das Handy soll damit vollständig zur mobilen Brieftasche werden, mit der der Nutzer auch Bahntickets und Konzertkarten kaufen oder Rabatte einlösen kann./rg/DP/stw

Patente , Telekom , Verfahren , Zeitdruck , Nfc , Mastercard
Dann kann man(n) meiner Meinung aus gewissen Baussteinen etwas formen..was Geld einbringen könnte dauerhaft..oder.
Es müßte halt auch mal angefangen werden es umzusetzen sonst ist da Geschäft irgendwann verteilt und es bleiben nur noch Krümel
In der Mitteilung wird prima die Verbindungen zu MasterCard erklärt. Ich hoffe, mit der Telecom kommt in Deutschland die nächste Meldung (siehe Mitteilung von Bingo Daddy).
Thema: Bargeldlos bezahlen z.b mit dem Handy.
Wieder einmal kein Wort von OTI.Das ist meiner Meinung nach auch eines der Probleme.Oti taucht in fast keinen Zeitungen oder Nachrichten mehr groß auf.NXP wird fast in jedem Artikel erwähnt wie Andere auch.Ich denke fast dieses und nächstes Jahr wird sehr entscheidend.Wenn kein großen Aufträge flächendeckend hereinkommen ,sind die Märkte irgendwann vergeben.
Keine Ver oder Kauf Empfehlung.
Was denkt IHR
@ Bingo Daddy: Leider wurden bis Jahresende von OTI keine großen Aufträge prognostiziert. Entweder ist beim Vorstand die große Bescheidenheit ausgebrochen (in früheren Jahren wurde viel Angekündigt und selten kam was großes), oder wir müssen uns bis mindestens ins nächste Jahr vertrösten.
Die Bargeltmenge reicht noch für ein paar Jahre zum Überleben aus. Wir können also noch hoffen und nach wie vor glaube ich noch an unseren Erfolg.
Da geht es in 2 Artikeln um Lawsuit und Patente und was das bedeuten könnte.
3 August könnte in diesem Zusammenhang interessant werden.
Was meint Ihr .
Das könnte was geben..auch langfristig
wen die Patentklage durchgehen sollte.Was Oti braucht sind natürlich dauerhafte Erträge.
Ich habe mal gelesen(hoffe das es stimmt.)
Microssoft kriegt für jedes Android Handy zwischen 5 und 25 Dollar nur für Patente.
Da wäre es doch super wenn Oti eine monatliche Flatrate oder Benutzungsgebühren pro Handy mit der Telekom machen könnte.Und die Telekom ist ja in verschiedenen Ländern tätig.
Vielleicht sollten wir aber auch mal am 3 August abends besonders bei Oti vorbeischauen.
Aber wie es weitergeht wird die Zukunft zeigen.
Beim Handy-Bezahlsystem wäre erheblich mehr drin. Diese Lösung fände ich auch sehr sympatisch. Der 3. August wird eventuell sehr interessant. Der könnte das "Sommerloch" stopfen.

about: OTIV, includes: WXS This morning, On Track Innovations (OTIV) announced that it signed a five year agreement with Wright Express (WXS) that appoints OTIV as a reseller in Africa, and an exclusive reseller in South Africa of Wright Expresses Quantum+ Solutions. So what? In my opinion, this is just another meaningless press release from OTIV, one which has no teeth, and one which will not lead to revenue in the near future, and revenue and profitability are surely lacking with this company.
The press release today concerns OTIV's Easy Fuel subsidiary. The last revenue producing contract for Easy Fuel was July 26, 2010, two years ago. Today's press release means that OTI can use the WXS product if there is a need. With a sales and/or marketing team that can't generate consistent Easy Fuel sales, I surely am not excited about this announcement.
Speaking of the sales and marketing efforts of OTIV, let me review the two sales announcements that have recently occurred in Q2 2012 (which ended of June 30, 2012). First, OTIV announced an EasyPark Solution contract for the city of Austin, Texas.
EasyPark was first introduced in Israel over 10 years ago, and currently provides OTIV yearly revenue of $2.5M (approximately). With a population in Austin that is 9% of Israel's population, perhaps we will see future revenue from this program of $250,000 a year. One must remember that it took OTIV 10 years to achieve their reported revenue from EasyPark Israel.
The second Q2 revenue announcement was for the sale of 30000 NFC readers to an unnamed party in the United States. I estimate revenue from this sale to be $0.8M, with a low profit margin and this revenue will be booked in late 2012.
I believe that there is a clear lack of sales leadership within OTIV's management team. I recently reviewed Q2's sales announcements from OTIV's two major competitors, Gemalto and Verifone (PAY). Both companies were more successful in winning contractless payment contracts in Q2 2012. The responsiblity for OTIV's sales rest with company CEO, Oded Bashan, and his son, company president Ohad Bashan.
This management team has not been able to exhibit sustained revenue growth and they have never lead the company to profitability in it's 20 year lifetime. If this team can't generate consistent new sales, one may wonder how they will be able to monetize the company's intellectual property, which I believe is the core of NFC technology. It is my opinion, that this company should be sold, or the management team replaced.
Disclosure: I am long OTIV.
On Track Innovations (OTIV)-Open Letter To Board Of Directors
July 27, 2012 | 12 commentsby: Edward Schwartz | about: OTIV Gentleman:
In a recent Seeking Alpha article, Management Under Attack, I identified certain press releases where I feel that On Track Innovations (OTIV) management has misled shareholders. In another article, Primed For A Hostile Takeover, I pointed out how shareholders defeated your attempt to increase the authorized shares of OTIV and, in my opinion, the company could not effectively defend its poison pill defense.
I am sure that you are well aware of shareholders' dissatisfaction with the current OTIV management team. This management team has never shown a profit in the company's 22 year history, and revenue growth has not been consistent. Two of your major shareholders, Marc Silk and Jerry Ivy, have 13D filings with the SEC. Commenting on my recent Seeking Alpha article, former OTIV shareholder and successful businessman Gonzalo ("GG") Pique said,
Had a big position in OTIV. Met with management at a trade show and saw what they had with their add-on NFC antenna. Listened to their Q conference about their future plans. Read how the UC Davis people love their system
Since I have done many global launches I figured this is the right technology with the wrong guys doing the launch and controlling the company.
Dumped 100% of OTIV at a small profit
At the upcoming annual meeting (sometime in late 2012), the Board of Directors will have to decide whether to stand Oded Bashan for reelection to his dual roles of Chairman of the Board and company CEO. In my opinion, the same shareholders who defeated the company's attempt to fund a poison pill package will not reelect Oded to this dual position, and the Board of Directors should actively seek his replacement.
In my opinion, here are some of the qualities that the new CEO must have:
1. He must be totally independent from current OTIV management -- someone from outside the company, and someone not "hand picked" by the Bashan family. And the company should not limit this person's credentials because he is not an Israeli Jew.
2. He must have a proven track record in management, sales and marketing, and leadership.
3. He must have qualities that the investment community respects.
4. He must have "free reign" to hire new management to assist him in the growth of the company, and authority to replace current non-productive management.
It's important for the OTIV Board of Directors to listen to the voices of unhappy shareholders, and in this spirit, I hope my fellow shareholders will add additional qualities (for the new CEO) to this article in the comment section below.

OTIV's price per share has fallen over 90% since its high in 2006. The investment community has shied away from OTIV because of a management team that has not been able to deliver consistent revenue growth or profitability in their 20 year history.
The price per share of OTIV has recently risen from a low of $1.25 (July 12, 2012) to a high of $1.55 today. Here are some of the reasons that may have caused this 24% increase in the PPS.
1. Investors are speculating in a positive result for the patent infringement lawsuit with TMobile (DTEGF.PK). Both parties have a scheduled meeting with the judge on August 3, 2012. This lawsuit alleges that T-Mobile USA, Inc. sells Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled phones that infringe OTI's U.S. Patent No. 6,045,043.
2. The board of directors may finally be listening to shareholders and effecting a change in company management. In my opinion, management has misled shareholders regarding what are "pilot" programs in the company's press releases, and in a 2009 conference call, they talked about programs in China that never seemed to materialize. A recent article regarding the growth of Near Field Communications point of sale terminals reveals a 17% compounded annual growth rate, which is way above the growth rate of OTIV. Comparing this report to OTIV's performance, one could conclude that OTIV's management is underperforming the industry. OTIV's management is failing, and in my opinion, the company's board of directors should exercise their fiduciary responsibilities and replace company management.
3. The company maybe in the final stages of additional licensing agreements for their intellectual property portfolio. The Near Field Communications industry has standardized procedures for the way cell phones and readers will communicate, and OTIV holds valuable patents in this area.
4. Dissident investors Jerry Ivy and/or Marc Silk may initiate a proxy fight for board seats or a proxy fight to replace current management. Both Ivy and Silk report average investment costs of $3/share. and according to their 13D filings, they both may have initiated discussions with the board of directors.
5. The investment community may be realizing the value of OTIV's intellectual property. AuthenTec (AUTH) recently agreed to be acquired by Apple (APPL). APPL agreed to pay $355M for AUTH, giving AUTH shareholders over a 60% premium. A 355M purchase price for OTIV would be over $10/share, which is what many OTIV investors speculate about the worth of OTIV's intellectual property. AUTH has very similar comps to OTIV, and holds "credentialing" patents for NFC. OTIV's intellectual property is about the 2way communication between the smart phone and the reader. There may be speculation that OTIV is a takeover candidate.
I believe that any one of the above events will cause shares in OTIV to rise further.

Ich hatte eigentlich höhere Ziele gesetzt, wie ich früher immer sagte. Aber bei der Unfähigkeit des Managements - trotz guter techischer Performance - nichts auf die Beine zu stellen, wäre ich jetzt mit diesem Ziel einverstanden.
Die zweite Möglichkeit wäre eine Kooperation und/oder ein Großauftrag von Telecom.
Oder das angekündigte Projekt mit dem russischen Handybetreiber mit kontaktloser Bezahlfunktion.
Der jetzige Kurswert ist auf alle Fälle ein Witz. Die $ 1,4 ... 1,5 sind kaum mehr als die noch vorhandenen Barmitteln von OTI. Traurig aber wahr ist, dass die Aktionäre gegenwärtig nicht mehr zutrauen. Die Chance ist allerdings, dass der Kurs um das zigfache hochschnellen würde, wenn endlich einmal ein Großauftrag UNTERSCHRIEBEN erzielt würde.
Ist das vielleicht ein Anfang über größere Proteste über das Managment ..
oder versuchen da ein paar Andere?? gezielt Kritik zu üben.
Vielleicht um den Preis zu drücken
Die Sachen sind da ..jetzt fehlt nur noch der Gewinn daraus
Verläuft das jetzt auch wieder im Sande
??
Informationspolitik ist schlecht
Üner Infos wäre ich sehr dankbar
Vielleicht muss die Telecom noch überlegen, ob sie 100 oder 200 Mio. an OTI hinblättert :-))
