ADVANTOR RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS AIR FORCE SECURITY APPROVAL

ORLANDO, FL August 13, 2007 – Advantor Systems Corporation (ASC), has successfully completed rigorous testing at the Certified Air Force Test Site C-3, located at Eglin AFB for its Advantor Suite for Networks Version 5.0 (ASN 5.0) integrated security system. Advantor's ASN 5.0 is now recognized by the US Air Force as an approved Command, Control, and Display system for Intrusion Detections Systems (IDS) and Entry Control Systems (ECS). This approval spans the protection of PL-1 to PL-4 resources.

ASC is one of only two companies to achieve this approval and the only small business manufacturer of USAF-approved IDS systems. ASC continues to play a key role in national security by providing advanced security technologies to meet the needs of large-scale, high security integrated system proprietary users in the military, government and commercial market place.

Grant Herring, Vice President of DoD Sales at ASC, commenting on the Air Force approval said, "We are in an aggressive move to migrate all of our Air Force installations to the new upgrade. The upgrade will provide a fully certified, state-of-the-art system with much improved capability. We have recently completed the integration of ground based radars at McChord and Ellsworth AFBs using XML integration, and are planning on accomplishing this effort at several other locations. We are proud to continue to play a key role in the war on terrorism by providing this advanced security solution.”

The ASN 5.0 is a single, shared database that allows true integration of all monitoring functions, including intrusion detection, access/entry control, ID badging, facility graphics, ground based radar target tracking, and CCTV for immediate visual assessment of alarms. ASN 5.0 is the first annunciator to have included the XML interface and network enabled configurations, enabling integration of multiple detection systems as well as emerging technologies.

Although leading edge technologies are employed, ASN 5.0 remains compatible with existing legacy equipment, allowing for a more cost-efficient system upgrade vs. complete system replacement. In addition to communication via ERADs or via dedicated phone lines, the ASN 5.0 has the ability to communicate across a LAN or fiber optic infrastructure, allowing quicker, more reliable monitoring of individual facilities. The standard configuration utilizes a primary and secondary server operating on Windows 2003. This configuration takes advantage of the cost savings of co-locating the servers in a Certified Console from which the operators control the system. ASN 5.0 is DCID 6/9 compliant for use in SCI Facilities.

The Advantor organization has been singularly focused on the electronic security industry since its inception in 1965. Throughout its history, the company has been at the forefront of security technology, pioneering industry innovations such as audio-based intrusion detection systems, computerized central monitoring stations, remote downloading of programs to microprocessor-based alarm systems and the complete integration of a full range of security services into a single security network. A customer focused approach coupled with a broad range of technical solutions has been the foundation for company growth, with projects ranging from securing over 1,000 military sites world wide to extensive development of the Eastern European and Asian markets.
