¶ SEVU: and another $80 Millions "in the POCKET"....
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- SeaView Video Technology Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: SEVU) (www.sevu.com) today released the following information from Logis-Tech Inc., the Alexandria VA-based teaming partner representing the Company to the Department of Defense. Logis-Tech Director of Government Marketing, Frank Travis, issued the following statement: "We have been working on a major contract with Taiwan. Top military advisors have visited us here in the United States. In addition, our people have made two presentations there. We have demonstrated the multi-camera system from SeaView Video Technology Inc., utilizing the IRFS(TM) system. Our overall contract is several hundred million dollars, and we have allotted funding for SeaView's "SecureView" product. "Security is a major portion of this sale, and SeaView will be receiving an $80-million minimum order to provide cameras, IR floodlights, and control CPUs. The SecureView concept provides an economical and quick method of adding quality video." Col. Larry Hoffman (USA ret.), SeaView National Sales VP, commented: "This project essentially mirrors the National Guard project here in the US, and the 7th ARCOM contract in Europe. Our first two Guard buildings will get a test run this month. We are also finding that county and state governments are interested in the concept. Logis-Tech will install and service all these systems. The keys to this entire product line are simplicity and economics in installation. Just like the consumer side, screw in the light bulbs and play on any TV through the power line." SEAVIEW HIRES COO The Company has hired George S. Bernardich III as Chief Operations Officer.
