SiriCOMM Inc. has entered into a network access services agreement with ACS Government Solutions Inc. (ACS) to provide data access at each of 260 PrePass weigh station sites in 25 states.

Under terms of the three-year agreement, ACS will purchase network access services from SiriCOMM for the benefit of its HELP Inc. contract for automated vehicle identification and weigh station bypass.
The agreement follows a successful test of the SiriCOMM service over the past 11 months. The purpose of the program was for ACS and SiriCOMM to implement and evaluate the capability of the SiriCOMM network architecture to support the PrePass program.
PrePass, a service operated by HELP Inc., is an automatic vehicle identification system that allows participating transponder-equipped commercial vehicles to bypass designated weigh stations, port-of-entry facilities and agricultural interdiction facilities. Cleared vehicles may proceed at highway speed, eliminating the need to stop, which means greater efficiency for shippers and improved safety for all highway users.
"Completing this test is an exciting achievement for HELP," said Richard Landis, HELP president and CEO. "We have evaluated many different data providers and SiriCOMM is the only one that met all of our criteria. This test not only validated SiriCOMM's technology, it also provides an opportunity to introduce new services to our customers."
