Burnaby, British Columbia - Tuesday, March 28,
2006 - Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCBB - VSYS.OB) -- today
announced President and CEO, Stephen Pineau, presented
"High Availability Physical Security, Reducing Liability
by Eliminating Control Hardware" to delegates at the
recent ASIS - Emerging Trends in Security conference
in Las Vegas. Mr. Pineau's presentation described how
MESH™ technology can reduce the liability
organizations face when traditional systems fail. In
particular, he described how MESH™ LANBot
servers provide the industry's first practical hardware
backup solution in comparison to traditional controllers
which, in the event of failure, require servicing and
degraded security. As well, he described how MESH™
addressable devices provide better tools to react to
problems as they arise.
"Security is generally required to protect
people and property and to mitigate risk," noted Mr.
Pineau. "Yet, traditional systems also introduce elements
that put organizations at risk. Cases included an unreported
traditional controller/reader failure at a critical
hospital storage door and the litigation that followed.
There are many other mission critical applications where
the failure of traditional systems creates organizational
unreported risks and risks associated with long service
cycles. This includes any controlled gate, emergency
medical and fire suppression storage, and even industrial
applications where a spare part protected behind an
unusable door creates business loss issues."
"The presentation was very well received
and many attendees agree that this is the direction
the industry must go. We received some very good leads.
Attendees were also impressed with our new MESH™
Quickconnect readers which allow end-users to self service
when required and eliminate system downtime. With the
release of our new MESH™ Version 5 we
are now in position to surpass the requirements of the
traditional Enterprise Class system used by these attendees
and with a feature/benefit set that can't be matched."
