DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 9, 2011--DRI Corporation (NASDAQ: TBUS), a digital communications technology leader in the global surface transportation and transit security markets, announced today that the Company’s Mobitec AB (the “Mobitec Group”) subsidiary in Herrljunga, Sweden, has received an order for Mobitec® electronic information display systems in service to a major transit operator based in the U.K. The order is valued at approximately $800,000 USD.

David L.

As part of this particular order, we are delivering our Mobitec® Smartblind. It is a technologically advanced version of a ‘curtain’ or ‘roller blind’ sign. We, together with our partners, provide not only the product’s technologically advanced mechanism, but the actual curtain as well.”

Oliver Wels, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Global Operations, said: “Our Mobitec® Smartblind products provide destination and route information in a very stylish way. With our recent product redesign to further enhance the lighting method, the product has become popular in the U.K. market. Other products ordered by the U.K. transit operator include Mobitec® MobiLED and Mobitec® MobiLED Colour electronic information display systems and Mobitec® ICU 600 control units. We anticipate that delivery will commence in first quarter 2011 and conclude in second quarter 2011.”
