WASHINGTON, April 20 /U.S. Newswire/ --
original
The newest, cutting edge homeland security technologies will take center stage April 26-27, 2006 at GovSec, U.S. Law and Ready!, America's Premier Homeland Security Event.

"The future of homeland security is at the GovSec, U.S. Law and Ready! Exposition," said Kristina Tanasichuk, director of government and industry relations. "Last year, the innovation hotspot was in the secure wireless communications market. This year -- for obvious reasons -- we're seeing a tremendous increase in emergency response products in addition to continued emphasis on wireless solutions."

Tanasichuk attributes the increased number emergency response products to the hurricanes last year, and adds, "From mobile hospitals, to interoperable communications solutions and bio/chem agent detection, companies and first responders know that all response is local. They all come together at GovSec, U.S. Law and Ready! to see the best of what our nation has to offer to assure that every jurisdiction across the nation is prepared for acts of terror whether initiated by man or not."

Another area of the Exposition that has increased is the vehicle sector. From ATVs to SWAT vehicles, to Police fleet vehicles, Hummers(r) and mobile command centers that can be moved in and out of an area as needed, this year's Exposition will offer attendees an unprecedented look at the amazing vehicle capabilities and technology available today.

The GovSec, U.S. Law and Ready! Exposition offers attendees the opportunity to review and compare technology and services from more than 500 of the industry's leading homeland security suppliers. Products displayed on the show floor include biometric identification devices, bomb diffusers, mobile and wireless communication equipment, ammunition, personal protection devices, emergency response and police fleet vehicles and more.

New product highlights of the GovSec, U.S. Law and Ready! Exposition include:

-- Customized Mobile Command Units: A customized mobile command post built by LDV, Inc. for the State of Maryland Transportation Authority, will debut at GovSec, U.S. Law and Ready!. According to Pamela Thorne, Public Information Officer at the Maryland Transportation Authority, this command center will be utilized for disaster event coordination and communications as well as planned crowd control situations.

-- Biological Detection and Identification Device: The Guardian Reader System (tm) introduces the Defender TSR, the first hand-held biological detection and identification device, field-ready for HAZMAT crews with eight biological tests.

-- Mobile Hospital: Spevco will present a new 53' medical FEMA vehicle, outfitted with an operating room, 8 critical beds and more. This unit is used in areas of the Gulf Coast where healthcare facilities were destroyed.

-- Mobile Satellite Radio: Mobile Satellite Ventures developed the two-way mobile satellite radio, MSAT-G2, to address the increasing needs and demands of public safety and emergency response personnel. The MSAT-G2 is interoperable with land mobile radio systems and across multiple agencies. In addition, all radios are outfitted with GPS, enabling emergency management coordinators to know the exact location of their responders.

-- Instant Access Control and Credential System: Secure Network Systems is announcing General Availability of NIMS- IMPACT, a unified credential issuance and mobile access control product family that has been proven in multiple field exercises, most recently during Hurricane Katrina. The system enables emergency managers to create identity credential cards onsite, use electronic access control for perimeters, quarantine areas, and hot zones. The system was used to keep track of evacuees, volunteers and emergency management personnel after Hurricane Katrina.

-- Outdoor Perimeter Protection: The R-300 microwave barrier, a perimeter protection detector created using Russian military technology, is able to distinguish between a human and various animals, minimizing the amount of false alarms. The system is designed to continuously learn and adjust to changing weather and terrain conditions.
