BURNABY, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- <\/p>\n
Viscount Systems (OTC Markets:VSYS), a leading edge high technology supplier of security systems and software today is pleased to announce that Viscounts Freedom has been selected to secure its first US Department of Homeland Security agency facility. <\/p>\n
We are very pleased that the top echelon of US Government agencies are now recognizing the benefits of Freedom compared to traditional control panel architecture, noted Stephen Pineau, CEO of Viscount Systems. In addition to cost savings, Freedom eliminates the cyber security vulnerabilities of panels and our new unified Microsoft Active Directory platform provides a simplified and more secure architecture for administering the system. The Freedom platform is Cloud ready and Microsoft Azure compatible to allow a seamless migration. Finally, physical security at US Government facilities is being driven by the requirement to be compliant with the new FIPS 201 standard and there are estimates that tens of thousands of systems will be required to be upgraded in the coming years. With the budgetary issues facing government agencies, Freedom is incredibly well positioned as a fully compliant, cloud based and low cost alternative to become a major factor in the US Government physical security market. <\/p>\n
This project involves the potential deployment of approximately 300 US government sites which expands our total potential deployments to close to 1500 US government facilities based on other pilot projects underway. We expect this number to increase rapidly through the coming months. The typical revenue per site should average approximately $10,000. <\/p>\n
