Irving, Texas – January 3, 2002 – Integrated Security Systems, Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: IZZI) today announced today the receipt of an order for two (2) of its CR 25(E) crash beam barriers from the Detroit Wayne Joint Building Authority, by its wholly owned subsidiary B&B Electromatic, Inc. The crash beam barriers will be installed at a General Services Administration building in Detroit, Michigan, one at the entrance to a street level parking lot, the other at the entrance to a ramp to an underground loading dock.


"We have had numerous inquiries regarding the CR 25 crash beam barrier from various government agencies since the events of September 11", said Jack Caldwell, President and CEO of B&B. "We are confident that this is the first of many orders for this product from government sources."


B&B’s CR 25 crash barrier comes in both a manual and electrical version. Each version has a vertical to horizontal arm, is equipped with an energy absorption cable assembly and weatherproof housing. The manual version has been successfully crash tested to U.S. Navy specifications OR-98-09-88 and M-56-86-05 with a level 1/L2 rating and Department of the Army rating level of KN1-LN2. It is listed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in their document "Protection Against Malevolent Use of Vehicles at Nuclear Power Plants (NUREG/CR-6190 Vol. 2, Rev. 1)". The electrical version has the same physical characteristics as the manual version.
The CR 25 crash barrier is currently in use at oil refineries, nuclear power plants, chemical plants, various GSA buildings and at U.S. embassies.
