ASHEVILLE, N.C., June 29, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets:HISC) is continuing to develop Phase III of its Savannah Port Project and will deliver the results from Phase III to more than 350 major ocean ports and more than 175 major commercial river ports. Reports will also been delivered to major airports and other secured facilities.
Phase III of the Savannah Port Project will consist of GIS mapping and software finalizations and will incorporate tracking devices deployed both on the port and in the immediate area surrounding the port. Homeland Integrated Security Systems owns proprietary technology and has the rights to use patents to some of the most innovative and sophisticated security products. The project at the Savannah Port is being conducted in conjunction with Georgia Tech and the Maritime Logistics Innovation Center (MLIC).
"Phase two of the Savannah Port Project went much better than expected," said Frank Moody, CEO of Homeland Security Systems. "It has allowed us to stay on schedule in developing Phase three of the project, so that we can demonstration to the Port Authority that we have the technology to keep a watchful eye on port security."
In another development, Homeland Integrated Security Systems has retained noted wireless technology authority Ed Legum to write a White Paper on the Cyber Tracker and the Savannah Port Project. Mr. Legum is founder and president of the Edmond-Howard network. Mr. Legum started his career with Tandy Corporation, where he rose to become the company's audio product manager, responsible for 20 percent of Radio Shack's annual sales. An accomplished author and sought -after speaker, Mr. Legum works with wireless companies worldwide to increase their sales, increase their ARPU, reduce their COA, and improve their customer loyalty. His firm helps companies achieve these goals through highly-customized wireless sales training programs for the major channels of distribution: retail, indirect, B2B, and national enterprise.
"By having someone with Ed Legum's knowledge and status in the wireless industry, Homeland Integrated Security Systems will benefit greatly in positioning the Cyber Tracker in the market," said CEO Moody.
According to the New York Times, the U.S. spent more than $4.5 billion on screening devices to monitor the nation's ports, borders, airports, mail and air, the federal government is moving to replace or alter much of the antiterrorism equipment, concluding that it is ineffective, unreliable or too expensive to operate. The federal government will likely need to spend as much as $7 billion more on screening equipment in coming years, according to government estimates.
The Savannah Port Security Project revolves around Homeland Integrated Security Systems' revolutionary Cyber Tracker, which monitors drivers' activities to and from the port's berths. Cyber Trackers would be dispensed using an automated system that will integrate the Cyber Tracker via RFID to bills of laden. When the drivers are leaving the port, the units are collected, thus insuring that all vehicles that enter the port facility are accounted for when leaving. The device also allows port officials to monitor flow in and around the port, as well as speed control, stop times and the ability to archive the customized reports. The Savannah port is the fourth busiest port in the U.S., making it the ideal test site for the project.
