Soflinx Awarded Contract by Siemens to Provide Mobile Threat Detection Security at 2004 Athens Olympics in Greece.

SAN DIEGO -- Mobile Defender System to Provide Radiation Threat Discovery At Olympics

Soflinx Corporation, a provider of sensor security networks that bring intelligence to sensor devices, has been selected by Siemens A.E. of Greece to provide its Mobile Defender(TM) mobile threat detection, identification and monitoring security system to the 2004 Athens Olympics to be held in August.

The Soflinx Mobile Defender will provide threat detection of radiological threats, covering multiple locations at major arenas during the Athens Olympics. The Mobile Defender is a self-contained hardware and software system that can be rapidly moved from one venue to another, providing security selectively at higher profile events with larger crowds and greater risk. Soflinx is supplying the system to Siemens on a lease contract for the duration of the Olympic and Paralympic events.

Siemens A.E., a subsidiary of Siemens A.G., Europe's largest communications networks company with presence in 190 countries and over $90 billion in annual sales, is part of the consortium managing the communications and information infrastructure for security command centers that connect Greek police, emergency medical, fire, coast guard and armed forces. Within this network, the Mobile Defender system will provide real time alerts of potential threats to security personnel. The Mobile Defender provides information on the type of threat, its location, and appropriate response, facilitating rapid action by authorities to prevent a threat from materializing or, in the more extreme context, to mobilize reaction to threat aftereffects.

Jay Creutz, Olympic Security Consultant to Siemens A.E., notes, "Because of the wide array of venues and complexity of schedules, it is critical to use a system that can be rapidly redeployed from one venue to another, while providing high reliability and ease of use. Soflinx' Mobile Defender is an excellent choice because it is inexpensive to implement, easy to use, and provides the ability to identify and respond to threats before they become serious incidents."

The Mobile Defender uses completely self-contained transportable units. The system includes a rugged, weatherproof laptop (control console) and a virtually unlimited number of tamper resistant briefcases with sensors. The systems can run for extended periods off internal batteries, ensuring that they can be used where there is no available electrical power and will maintain operation in the event of a power failure.

Neil Senturia, CEO of Soflinx, said, "Soflinx is honored to be included by Siemens in its Olympic security implementation. The Soflinx intelligent security technology will be used in conjunction with CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) sensors to provide mobile security solutions during the Games." Senturia added, "This technology is not only available in threat detection for high profile events, but can also be used as part of the total homeland security effort to monitor large government buildings, airports and shipping ports."

Soflinx provides mobile and fixed network systems for detecting chemical, biological, and radiological threat detection, deployed for special event security, infrastructure security, and perimeter and border security. The systems can network tens or thousands of sensors together in intelligent wired and wireless systems, enabling a new generation of sensor detection and data integration. Using innovative methods of information management, Soflinx Mobile Defender views a sensor network and provides an enterprise system overview rather than merely a set of "point detectors." This reduces false alarms due to system errors or spontaneous but not threatening environmental conditions, such as passing trucks or increased humidity, while increasing overall system sensitivity.

In addition to the Mobile Defender product, Soflinx also offers Soflinx Defender(TM), a fixed perimeter security system relying on the same basic technology. The Soflinx Defender provides real-time detection of hazardous explosive, nuclear, radiological and chemical warfare agents for buildings and facilities, campuses, and other fixed configurations. Soflinx Defender systems are in use in several government locations and are suitable for public transportation and communication infrastructures, commercial or public facilities and campuses, or wherever fail-safe security is crucial.
