Burnaby, British Columbia - Thursday, August
4, 2005 - Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCBB - VSYS.OB) --
today announced The Company has begun introducing the
MESH™ Datastream enhancement to its MESH™
product line. MESH™ Datastream modules
can be remotely or centrally located using standard
data cable to allow end-users to use legacy RFID and
biometric readers when deploying networks of MESH™
enabled buildings. In addition, the modules allow Viscount
to expand MESH™ to control a wide range
of specialty devices not yet MESH™ enabled
including Infrared, Radio Frequency, Barcode, Magstripe
and Smartcard. The first system being installed will
combine MESH™ RFID readers with MESH™
Datastream enabled long-range vehicle readers at gates.
"MESH™ Datastream dramatically
increases the threat MESH™ poses to traditional
controller manufacturers," noted Stephen Pineau, President
and CEO of Viscount.
"MESH™ Datastream modules
will be expanded to connect up to 255 readers to a single
server at a hardware cost of less than half of our older
controller technology. There is a 30-year investment
in controllers and end-users cannot always afford to
replace masses of systems. They can now gradually migrate
to MESH™ readers but use MESH™
network software to manage existing devices in buildings."
