SolaCom highlights LibertySHIELD at Oil and Gas Show

Integrated surveillance and communication solution designed to help make emergency response easy

Gatineau, QC - June 7, 2007 - SolaCom Technologies, a communication solutions company that enables interoperability over any network infrastructure, will highlight its LibertySHIELD solution for oil and gas security at the GO Expo (Gas and Oil Exposition), to be held in Calgary, Alberta, June 12-14.

"Responding quickly and appropriately in a crisis situation is a real challenge given the dynamic nature of emergency situations, and the mobility and wide dispersion of response workers," says Franz Plangger, President and CEO of SolaCom. "With the LibertySHIELD, we've designed a completely integrated solution where everyone involved in an emergency situation - whether they're in the Operations Centre, at the scene, or anywhere in between -- has access to the same, real-time information, so they can work effectively as a team to resolve the problem to save lives and minimize property damage."

The LibertySHIELD saves valuable time and makes emergency response easy, by enabling:

• Quick identification of emergency events, with integrated sensor, video and communications infrastructure
• Interactive, real-time information shared by everyone at the scene, in the operations center, and in response vehicles
• Emergency outreach to the public in the event that an area needs to be evacuated
• Immediate access to remote and mobile responders regardless of the communications device they are currently using
• Unlimited multi-party conferencing from any source - wireline, wireless, radio, VoIP

"With the LibertySHIELD, we've really addressed every need that emergency response personnel have to work effectively to resolve critical emergencies," says Mr. Plangger. "This includes building-in a graphical annotation tool so that personnel at different locations can mark and share important information as circumstances change around them.

"In addition, we make it possible to ring multiple fixed and/or mobile phone devices simultaneously, so that emergency response personnel can be alerted quickly on the device they are currently using. Then, we go two steps further by making it easy to conference everyone together, and enable participants to change devices without dropping from the conference.

"Another important, built-in feature of the LibertySHIELD is an emergency outreach capability, so that potentially affected members of the public can be contacted quickly in the event an area needs to be evacuated."

SolaCom brings 25 years of experience in emergency communication and security management systems allowing us to make it easy for oil & gas companies to respond to emergency situations. The company has deployed critical communications solutions in more than 26 countries.
