(PR NEWSWIRE) Versus Technology Makes Positive Showing at ISC East; Eagle Eye Direct Held High Interest With Security Show Attendees TRAVERSE CITY, Mich., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Versus Technology, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VSTI) successfully introduced the Eagle Eye Direct(TM) and Eagle Eye Network(TM) along with the current Eagle Eye(TM) Asset Control solution at the International Security Conference (ISC) in New York, which was attended by over 10,000 security industry professionals. Eagle Eye(TM) Asset Control was also one of only 53 products featured in the New Product Showcase sponsored by the Security Industry Association for new technology in access control. "We have spent several months developing a three-tiered approach that will provide a distribution path for Versus products into the security market," stated John Hunepohl, Director of Sales for the Security Products Division of Versus. Eagle Eye Direct(TM) allows a customer to take an active data tag, such as the Versus Infrared locator tag, and connect it directly to an existing access control panel. A controller board converts the Versus protocol to security industry standard Wiegand data that the access control panel can understand. In addition, the controller board tells the access control system when the tag enters an area and again when the tag exits an area. "Eagle Eye Direct(TM) is the simplest, easiest, and most cost-effective method for a company to begin asset tracking and locating," stated Hunepohl. "This method requires no additional software and minimal training of an operator by using the existing access control system as the head end. This will allow a company to begin using the Versus tag technology for a minimal cost before investing thousands of dollars in a full-featured system." Versus expects to begin shipping the first units in mid-October. In conjunction with Eagle Eye Direct(TM), Versus introduced the Eagle Eye Network(TM) program to a number of access control manufacturers. Eagle Eye Network(TM) will allow customers with an existing access control system to integrate the entire Versus tag, reader, collector, and concentrator data collection network into their systems. "This is the same successful method we used in integrating with our nurse call vendors," stated Henry Tenarvitz, Chief Operating Officer. "Overall, this show was validation that we are on the right track," stated Gary Gaisser, President and CEO. "We generated the type of interest we expected and now have solid commitments for our products. While it will take a few months of development with third party vendors, we should see the results of our efforts early next year and immediate results with Eagle Eye Direct(TM) as the controller board enters the market in October."
