(OTCBB:CESY), their national distributor for education, Kidston Communications, and their new distributor for Pennsylvania, Sage Technology Solutions, Inc., have announced their first sale of a Celerity DigiKnow Digital Education System to the Capital Area Intermediate Unit (IU) in Summerdale, Pennsylvania.

This system will be used as part of a wide area network (WAN) which could include services such as digital media delivery, telemedicine applications and emergency management planning.

"We are pleased, of course, to have our first system in Pennsylvania," said Kenneth Van Meter, President and CEO of Celerity Systems. "Not only is Pennsylvania one of the most populous states, it is also focused on providing educational and other advanced services not only to its young people, but to its citizens of all ages. A network as is being contemplated here could be of great value to everyone."
