BALTIMORE, Dec. 15, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- View Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:VSYM), a security and teledata solutions provider, announced today that the company's exclusive authorized international dealer and business partner in the middle east, Belcom, has confirmed a sale of 10 ViewScan units to Bangladesh's government sector.
Mesbah Ahmed, Managing Director of 2M Corporation, Belcom's authorized reseller in Bangladesh, states, "The Bangladesh market represents a huge potential for security products, in particular, the ViewScan concealed weapons detector. It is with unprecedented support from Belcom that we have closed a deal to supply ViewScans to the government sector in Bangladesh. The breadth of technical and sales expertise from Belcom has aided us in consummating this deal. Moving forward, I am confident that the success of this initial contract will lead to additional clients and sales."
ViewScan is fast becoming the choice screening system, both domestically and internationally. It's a computer-based system that can scan up to 1200 people per hour. As a person passes through the portal, along with a photograph, threat objects are visually located on the computer screen and an audible alert can be set to sound. The ViewScan produces no harmful emissions so it's safe for everyone.
Belcom is an exclusive international dealer and business partner of View Systems. Belcom, a subsidiary of the Belhasa Group of Companies, represents View Systems' products in the Middle East, Africa & Asia regions. (Source: www.belcom.ae). ViewScan units are currently placed in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, India and Pakistan.
Gautham Belthur, General Manager of Belcom, states, "We are pleased that the ViewScan was selected again to be the key security screening device for this government client due to its non-contact, hands-off screening and rapid throughput; the ViewScan is 4-5 times faster than its leading competitors. The February, 2009 mutiny in Dhaka, Bangladesh during which 12 people were killed, (Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/27/world/asia/27bangla.html), has allowed 2M Corporation to take a tough stance and ensure the safety and security of the government interests in Bangladesh. I'm hopeful that other government officials will hear about this install and will decide to look into the possibility of adding a ViewScan to their facilities."
