ViaLogy PLC01 April 2008 ViaLogy Technology Integrated into New Cisco Open Platform for Safety and Security London, 1 April 2008: ViaLogy PLC (LSE: VIY), a leading innovator of real-timenetwork-centric signal processing platforms, announces its technology is beingintegrated into the Cisco Open Platform for Safety and Security (COPSS), the newCisco technology platform launched today at the annual FOSE 2008 industry tradeshow. The Cisco Open Platform for Safety and Security is a secure, intelligent,converged solution intended for multiple surveillance and alert applications tosupport the growing needs of defence, civilian, public safety, state and localgovernment agencies. It is to be offered by Cisco to public sector organizationson a worldwide basis. As a core member of the solution team, ViaLogy will provide the sensorintegration engine for the platform. ViaLogy's SPMTM (Sensor Policy Manager)software enables disparate sensors in very large enterprise networks to processand report only key events of interest to security personnel. The ViaLogytechnology is sensor agnostic and considerably enhances the performance andstrength of all integrated legacy and IP sensors, thus avoiding false alarms,missed events and optimizing use of limited bandwidth. ViaLogy's SPMTM is anintegral part of the Cisco Open Platform for Safety and Security demonstration -and available for viewing - at Cisco's Center of Excellence in Herndon,Virginia. "We are pleased to be working with Vialogy as part of our go-to-market team forthe Cisco Open Platform for Safety and Security," said Bruce Klein, Cisco'sfederal vice president. "Our strategy is to pull together an 'ecosystem' of theleading companies with expertise in protecting citizens, employees and criticalassets to provide the most comprehensive solution for facilitating collaborationfor government agencies. Vialogy delivers a critical piece of our overalltechnology platform." "Cisco has developed the Cisco Open Platform for Safety and Security to answer aworldwide requirement from customers for improved and co-ordinated integratedsafety and security systems," said Robert W. Dean. President and CEO of ViaLogy,"We are proud to be chosen as an approved supplier to the platform." "SPMTM is a comprehensive and flexible product that can be customised to suitindividual customer needs because we recognise that there are a variety ofsituations to be dealt with. Some customers will want a complete system forsecuring or monitoring a new building or area, others will want the overallintegration of existing and new security arrangements. "The Cisco Open Platform for Safety and Security will give common operationalpicture vigilance of all aspects of security, faster situation assessment,automated decision making and improved response time." ViaLogy has been closely involved in the development of an Improved DecisionSupport System for disparate sensors. As the Department of Defense drivesconvergence of physical security, consequence management and Chemical,Biological, Radiological/Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) incidents to ensuresafety of military bases, scaleable network-centric technologies and IT productsare becoming increasingly important. ViaLogy has demonstrated its successes overthe past year during multiple Department of Defense demonstrations thatcontinually monitored and reported on CBRNE sensors in realistic scenarios.ViaLogy's SPMTM technology flawlessly linked all critical sensors to enableautomatic time alerts to the right person. This sensor integration andinteroperability capability will be a critical factor in next generationnetworked emergency alert systems.
