QualityStocks would like to highlight East Coast Diversified Corporation (OTCBB: ECDC), a holding corporation with a diversified group of technology companies. Its business portfolio includes businesses offering technology for logistics and asset management, media entertainment technology, transportation safety and class attendance monitoring system, and social media applications.

In the company’s news yesterday,

East Coast Diversified, through its subsidiary EarthSearch Communications, announced it has entered into a five-year master distributor agreement with Komtelecom in Russia, valued at approximately $5 million.

EarthSearch’s solutions utilize wireless communication between GPS and RFID to deliver solutions that include warehouse operation, movement of secured cargo, oil tankers, pipeline and other fixed assets management solutions, as well as fuel monitoring, temperature sensor, weight sensors, door sensor, and a variety of other custom applications.
