Thursday April 30, 9:25 am Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: Integral Technologies, Inc. Integral's Antenna Wins White House and NYPD Praise Company Announces Results of Independent Testing of CTHA For Use in a Police Communication System MORGANTOWN, W.V., April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ITKG - news), today announces that its subsidiary Emergent Technologies Corp. (ETC) has received rave reviews from the White House Drug Policy's R&D unit which conducted dramatic field testing of a ''revolutionary'' Tactical Video Communications System which is dependent on ETC's Contrawound Toroidal Helical Antenna (CTHA). The TVCS was created by Geisas Technology Inc. (Geisas) of Mill Valley, California under the sponsorship of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy's Counterdrug Technology Assessment Center (ONDCP/CTAC), for use by the U.S. Coast Guard's narcotics enforcement program on the high seas. As part of their development of this system, Geisas incorporated the CTHA into its pre-prototype Tactical Video Communications System. Now, as a result of the April 7,1998 test by the New York City Police Department (NYPD), the nation's biggest police department also plans to deploy the TVCS. In New York City, Geisas was ordered to test and demonstrate the Tactical Video Communications System for the purpose of transmitting wireless pictures and sound from within the confines of conditions that routinely make even police radio transmissions impossible. On April 7,1998, Geisas' pre-prototype TVCS utilizing ETC's antenna, among others, was tested by the NYPD within various scenarios in New York City; from subway corridors and atop the World Trade Center (WTC) surrounded by high powered broadcast antenna farms to street surface, high rise stairwells, and earthen tunnels. The TVCS operated at a frequency of 2.4GHz, and was comprised of a command console, an analog transmitter and receiver, and a ''drop-as-you-advance'' repeater. The command console was typically located inside a tactical van located on the street. Comments from Dr. Al Brandenstein, Director of ONDCP's CTAC and Detective Keith J. Caramancia, test director for the NYPD were remarkably enthusiastic: ''It was very impressive to see hard stable video from environments like those tested in today.'' --Brandenstein ''We put this system through the roughest imaginable RF-hostile environments and it performed above and beyond (expectations).'' --Caramanica Based on the results of the aforementioned test scenario, Geisas has selected the CTHA as its primary transmitting antenna for the TVCS because of its excellent signal properties both in a 360 degree azimuth and overhead as well as its compact size making it most applicable for tactical situations. Mark Williams, President and CEO of Integral stated, ''We are deeply gratified by the excellent results achieved by the NYPD with the Geisas TVCS, and by Geisas' selection of the CTHA as the primary antenna for their system. New technologies face an uphill battle for acceptance. Difficult tests like this one prove the usefulness of the CTHA technology to the commercial marketplace. Small, omni-directional, multi-polarized antennae offer many advantages for wireless system designers.''
