Burnaby, British Columbia - Wednesday, September
13, 2006 - Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCBB - VSYS.OB) announced
today the company has released its complete MESH™
Automated Facility Protection platform. The release
of the MESH™ Automated Facility Protection
System includes all modules previously released for
future construction projects as well as a large number
of enhancements available for immediate sale and retrofit
applications. Accompanying the product introduction
the company has released comprehensive new MESH™
literature that can be viewed at www.viscount.com/meshinfo.html.
"MESH™ is a revolutionary
and disruptive technology shift for security that is
hard to encapsulate," noted Stephen Pineau, President
and CEO of Viscount. "A 48 page single product brochure
is uncommon but there are so many benefits for physical
access control, voice, video and software that consultants
and end users requested this document to understand
the platform and keep from being overwhelmed. It is
also designed as a sales manual to assist our own and
industry sales people in closing the increasing number
of leads we are developing. There are also several sections
that differentiate MESH™ from the costly
control panel approach that are also of interest to
investors."
"MESH™ has been difficult
to design and this represents our final stage full commercial
product launch after several years of early commercial
applications. As a software platform the current and
future possibilities of MESH™ are endless
and we will be adding many industry related white papers
to our website since the capabilities of the system
expand beyond the scope of what is normally considered
to be physical security."
"The US government HSPD-12 smart card
standard that begins deployment this year is a perfect
example of how the platform has created unforeseen opportunities.
This new standard is based on IT principles that are
not generally compatible with any existing physical
access system and in the past few years multinationals
have invested heavily to acquire control panel suppliers.
The industry is now struggling with the government to
find a compromise. Fortunately, we have entered full
commercial release with MESH™ at the perfect
time to demonstrate how panels are obsolete and cannot
compete. The MESH™ IT platform simply
sees HSPD-12 as a different data format and we can implement
fully functional and more secure systems at incredible
savings to agencies."
