INTEGRATED SECURITY
SYSTEMS, INC.LAUNCHES CITY EVACUATION
TECHNOLOGY
Irving, Texas – September 30, 2005 – Integrated
Security Systems, Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: IZZI) today announced
a major thrust in technology to assist in the safe and expedient
evacuation of large metropolitan areas and cities. The
company’s market leadership position in road and bridge
vehicular barriers and gates and in Anti-terrorist crash
barriers will now be blended to produce unique systems to
alleviate traffic jams such as seen with the recent hurricanes
in Louisiana and Texas. The company is currently implementing
a trial system in one of the US’s major cities.
"The requirements for city evacuation fit our capability
very well", said C. A. Rundell, Jr., Chairman and CEO
of ISSI. "The needs for non-lethal or 'soft-stop'
barriers were successfully met in a recent Houston HOV Lane
job and are under evaluation for Chicago. The recent
turmoil in hurricane evacuation has underlined the need for
more comprehensive systems and positive traffic management. Therefore,
we are placing special effort on developing this segment
of our business".
ISSI's B&B ARMR subsidiary has 80 years experience in
the road and bridge barrier business and has a leading market
share in the "draw bridge" barrier market. Since
2003, the company has been in the antiterrorist barrier market
with gates, wedges, and bollards that meet Department of
State crash test standards. B&B ARMR is one of
the leaders in this arena.
“As we have seen, the consequences of a natural disaster
such as hurricanes Katrina or Rita, are as significant and
devastating as that of a terrorist’s dirty bomb. We
now have the ability to provide automated gates and barriers
to direct traffic in an intelligent manner, based on situationally
defined events”, stated Peter D. Beare, CEO and President
of the B&B ARMR division of ISSI. “With a well
planned video network, our barriers can be remotely operated
to control congestion, direct flow, and compartmentalize
problems areas. We can tailor a solution to the level of
need of any city”, Beare continued.
