Business Editors
BURNABY, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 13, 2002--Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCBB - VSYS) President and CEO Stephen Pineau is pleased to announce the company previewed its new MESH building control network at the International Security Conference (ISC West) from March 5-7 in Las Vegas. ISC is the world's leading forum for the introduction and display of new security technologies.
Viscount intends to position MESH as the revolutionary new standard for the convergence of data (building card access), video (CCTV cameras) and voice (intercom) in the building control environment and only showed the system to selected invited media, consultants and Fortune 500 Loss Prevention Officers.
Among the feedback received after the show were the following comments by Sandra Jones. "This year's ISC West Conference was another eventful show with many new products and services on display. One of our clients, Viscount contributed with a remarkably well received new product. Viscount's new system is so innovative and unique that it was actually kept behind closed doors, which were protected by two Pinkerton Security Guards. Both the media and the industry professionals who reviewed the MESH System are very excited about the future of this product." Sandra Jones of Sandra Jones and Company.

"The type of response we had from visitors really helped confirm that the MESH system is a major threat, particularly to companies exhibiting legacy card access systems based on the old Wiegand proximity protocol" remarked Mr. Pineau."
