Projects to date include sites in the US, Canada, India, China, France and New Zealand. "While we continue to enhance our core technology, we have passed the early commercialization stage of MESH,” said Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. “We have many more projects committed, some up to 2007, and while the sales cycle of Enterprise and new construction projects can be long, we are now shipping increasing numbers of systems for immediate retrofit.” Added Pineau: "In 2003 sales of MESH field trials totaled $95,000. In 2004, as we began to enter commercialization, we increased our sales to more than $400,000. Although it is early in 2005, we already have committed projects that surpass last years totals. I estimate that by Q3 2005, MESH will surpass EnterPhone as our prime revenue generator. "It is interesting to note that when we began designing MESH, many in the industry did not think we could succeed because MESH is so different from traditional technology. Special Security and IT conferences are now concluding that the future of physical security is operating systems using intelligent devices that eliminate “middle-ware controllers”. MESH is the only access-control system built on this architecture.” About Viscount Systems Viscount Systems Inc. is a designer and manufacturer of telecommunications and electronic door control access systems for the security industry.
