ASHEVILLE, N.C., July 19, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Homeland Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (Pink Sheets:HISC), a leading provider of wireless security solutions and products for national security and industry, announced today the execution of an exclusive distributor agreement with Implant Sciences Corporation (AMEX:IMX) for the marketing, distribution, and service of Implant's revolutionary Quantum Sniffer handheld and desktop explosives detection equipment. The Quantum Sniffer will be distributed through the Homeland Integrated Security Systems CyberNoze security division. HISC has taken delivery of units for introduction into its exclusive territory of Lebanon, and will seek to expand the geographic presence of the CyberNoze promoted explosives detection product throughout the Middle East.
Implant's Quantum Sniffer technology is clearly differentiated from competitive products as a result of being a non-contact device that detects most explosives vapors directly, as opposed to hand wiping of all trace explosives particles, as competitive products presently do. In countries such as Lebanon, having regional instability and anti-terrorism issues, CyberNoze will promote this technology for use in the detection of trace residues of explosives materials for aviation and transportation security, protection of high threat facilities, infrastructure, customs and border protection, and cargo screening.
Dr. Anthony J. Armini, PhD., CEO of Implant Sciences, commented, "We are pleased to form this alliance with Homeland Integrated Security Systems which will facilitate the introduction and distribution of our explosives detection technology through the CyberNoze division. This alliance will broaden the reach of distribution into international territories considered to be at a high risk to threat of terrorist attacks."
Mr. Frank A. Moody II, CEO of Homeland Integrated Security Systems, stated, "We believe Implant has a trace detection technology which is considerably different from the competition, and is rapidly gaining exposure in the international arena as a superior explosives detection product offering. We anticipate rapid acceptance of this important security product through our CyberNoze distribution channels in Lebanon which could lead to significant orders."
Mr. Moody further commented, "With the recently announced appointment of Barry Bennett to head our Homeland Security Advisory Board, we believe CyberNoze is also poised to further promote the Quantum Sniffer based explosives detection products within the U.S. Homeland Security marketplace."
