BURNABY, B.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCQB:VSYS), a leading-edge supplier of security systems and software, announced that it has been awarded contracts to deploy its Freedom access control technology at a number of US Federal Government buildings in Puerto Rico. Due to the sensitive nature of these types of contracts, the company is unable to identify the agency.
“We are happy to continue to gather momentum in the Federal Government space," noted Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. "Over the past year we have continued to harden the Freedom platform and expand our functionality. With our recent US GSA approved product listing and other efforts to expand compliance with US Government regulations we expect to see US Federal sales to continue to become an important market for our Freedom technology.”
About Viscount's Freedom Access Control Technology
Freedom Encryption Bridge is the first and only access control system that allows entry devices (ID cards, RFID readers, biometrics etc.) to be connected to, and controlled by, standard building IT networks without requiring expensive control panels. This eliminates up to 80% of the cost of traditional access control systems. Freedom also utilizes existing IT permission databases (Microsoft Active Directory or LDAP) to replace the software component of traditional systems. Freedom drastically reduces system costs while providing a much more secure software solution.
