WFII Wireless Facilities (MM)

Networked Surveillance Cameras to Monitor Park & Ride Lots SAN DIEGO, Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- WFI (NASDAQ:WFII), a global leader in the design, deployment, and management of wireless communication networks, information technology solutions and security systems, announced today that it has been selected to design and deploy a mesh network and IP surveillance network for the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Houston (Houston METRO) in Texas. In conjunction with Pfeiffer & Son Electric and using Cisco equipment, WFI will design the network and deploy surveillance cameras to monitor METRO-owned Park and Ride facilities and intersections in Houston and other areas of Harris County. The project, which is already underway, is estimated at more than $2.5 million. The mesh network and IP surveillance project consists of approximately 343 surveillance cameras to cover 440 acres of METRO-owned parking. The state-of-the-art surveillance cameras will assist METRO officials in spotting nuances as subtle as an unattended package or an individual standing too long in a restricted area. When the camera detects these activities, Houston TranStar is notified who can alert METRO officers that a crime may be in progress. Houston METRO's Board of Directors approved the plan to install a network of IP addressable surveillance cameras in mid-June and the first lot should be operational in September. Twenty six of the Park & Ride lots are expected to be operational by the end of February, 2007. "This project is going to require an extremely capable and aggressive team to complete this fast-paced project," said Charlie Pfeiffer, Project Manager of Pfeiffer &Son Electric. "We are pleased to work with a system integrator like WFI with such breadth and scale of network experience." "This is a terrific example of WFI applying its wireless network and security solution expertise with best-in-class equipment from Cisco to assist Houston METRO with an innovative surveillance program that can help cut costs and provide a valuable public service," said Desmond Wheatley, President of WFI's Enterprise Division. "Increasingly, WFI has applied its domain expertise in RF and mesh networks to deliver unique solutions such as IP-addressable surveillance systems and other IT-related applications. We look forward to working with Houston METRO and other clients where WFI can apply its experience with wireless networks and network engineering to help solve complex operational and utility challenges."
