LenSec and Firetide to Deliver City-Wide Video Surveillance Over Wireless Mesh Networks

HOUSTON (BusinessWire EON) May 1, 2007 --     The combined solution will allow LenSec's IP video surveillance solutions and surveillance cameras to work seamlessly within Firetide's wireless networks. Under the agreement, and with the support of Firetide, LenSec will offer the total solution directly to cities, counties, educational institutions and other entities where there is a demand for security over wireless infrastructures.

"The needs of city officials to deliver high-capacity video streams for public safety have grown over the last year, as wireless networks provide an easy and non-destructive infrastructure without the timely and costly build out," said Bo Larsson, Chief Executive Officer of Firetide. "LenSec and Firetide have a common vision of seamless wireless video, data, and access that enable metropolitan regions to improve security, satisfaction and productivity by utilizing both solutions."



LenSec provides local government customers turn-key video solutions which include security cameras centered around their integrated suite of software providing for password authorized, browser-based access from any computer. With Firetide's multi-service mesh networks, LenSec can now add the wireless connectivity component to their offering, further extending their capabilities to support public safety initiatives.

"Our customers, from local and state governments and enforcement officials, to educational institutions are constantly seeking new technology to provide increased levels of safety and security," said Keith Drummond, Chief Executive Officer of LenSec. "This alliance with Firetide allows us to provide our customers with convenient, wireless access while maintaining and monitoring video surveillance capabilities for a single source."

This bundled mobility solution will be available to customers in May 2007.
