Viscount Systems Awarded New U.S. Government Contract

BURNABY, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Viscount Systems VSYS, a leading-edge, high technology supplier of security systems and software, is pleased to announce that it has received an order for its Freedom access control technology from a U.S. Government owned high-security facility in the Western part of the United States. In keeping with government requests the nature of the facility and agency involved cannot be identified.

“We expect the number of Federal Government sites using our Freedom Encryption Bridge platform to accelerate throughout 2013,” noted Stephen Pineau, CEO of Viscount. “Our initial and pilot installations for government agencies have tended to be in the Northeast and this is the first Western facility migrating to Freedom, so we are happy to see clients beginning to move to a national scale.”

About Viscount's Freedom Encryption Bridge Solution

Freedom Encryption Bridge is the first and only access control system that allows entry devices (IC cards, RFID readers, biometrics etc.) to be connected to standard building IT networks without requiring expensive control panels that are programmed from a PC. Freedom changes the paradigm of IT friendly access control. It eliminates up to 80% of the cost of traditional systems that require the installation of control panels. And, it utilizes existing logical IT security software (LDAP) to replace both the control panel component and the software component of traditional systems. Freedom drastically reduces system costs while providing a much more secure software solution.
