Official launch of Viscount Systems’ Freedom platform is scheduled for the American Society for Industrial Security – ASIS – tradeshow in Dallas in October.

Officials with Viscount Systems said that prior to this launch the company is sponsoring and presenting Freedom in an online forum through Realcomm to a selection of real estate CIO's on July 29.

Company officials said that the company has a large number of meetings scheduled for the Security Xchange with some of the largest U.S. security integrators in Utah on August 2/3.

The company is then scheduled to participate in the isecurity virtual tradeshow hosted by Security, SDM and Smarthome magazines on August 25.

The company is also sponsoring two webinar events scheduled for the first week of September for approximately 800 online integrator and end user attendees.

"While we have had success with our current MESH technology, Freedom has the ability to forever change physical security systems are deployed," said Stephen Pineau, president and CEO of Viscount.

"The issue with our current platform was that the card readers had proprietary elements that inhibited our ability to deal with legacy systems and most card readers on the market,” Pineau added.

He said that MESH Freedom bridges take any reader signal and converts it to IP and allows users to manage security as an IT software application without any of the control hardware required by existing suppliers.

“We can also deploy U.S. government FIPS compliant systems at a fraction of the price of current systems," Pineau said.

He added that the response to this approach has been overwhelmingly positive.

Pineau said that not only does it simplify systems for security integrators at a dramatically reduced cost but it allows IT companies to enter the security market by selling physical security as a software application.

Viscount Systems Inc., is a designer and manufacturer of telecommunications and electronic door control access systems for the security industry.
