SARASOTA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 12, 2005--Invisa, Inc. (OTCBB:INSA), an electronic life safety and security company, announced today that Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, Atlanta, Georgia, is purchasing Invisa's SmartGate(R) brand electronic non-contact safety systems as part of a major Parking and Ground Transportation Solution project. Although the final number of SmartGate safety systems is unknown at this time it is estimated to represent well in excess of one hundred units. With this purchase, Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is joining a growing list of airports that rely on the SmartGate non-contact safety system as an integral part of their risk management strategy including international airports at Las Vegas, Orlando, Toronto, and Dallas just to name a few.
Invisa safety systems are being installed as original equipment in new Magnetic Automation parking gates being purchased by the airport. On September 13, 2004, Invisa announced its relationship with Magnetic Automation Corporation under which Magnetic has been installing Invisa's SmartGate brand electronic non-contact safety systems as optional original equipment in its parking gates. This purchase by the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is representative of the significance to Invisa's long term sales plans and of our relationship with Magnetic Automation Corporation, as well as our relationships with a growing number of other parking gate manufacturers.
Invisa's SmartGate safety systems were recommended for this project by the design consulting firm of Kimley-Horn, one of the nation's most comprehensive and best respected engineering and land planning firms. The SmartGate safety systems are part of a comprehensive parking system contract granted to Ascom Transport Revenue and its construction partners (see Ascom release dated 2-16-2005). Ascom is the industry leader in the USA for major Airport Parking Solutions with installations at over 40% of the US's busiest 25 airports.
According to Carl Parks, Chief Operations Officer, "Our highly reliable digital safety technology is being recommended by a growing number of professionals in the parking gate industry. We have worked hard to earn important relationships and we are gratified that our SmartGate safety system was chosen to be included as original equipment in Magnetic Automation parking gates purchased by the world's busiest airport. A growing percentage of our sales, like the Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport project, are achieved through the efforts of manufacturers like Magnetic Automation and other highly respected market professionals such as Ascom."
According to Steve Michael, Invisa's acting President, "An increasing focus on risk management by manufacturers of powered gates like Magnetic Automation and end users like the Atlanta airport is not only good for Invisa's safety product sales but it is also good for the entire parking gate industry. The recognition that comes from this important purchase represents another step toward our goal of setting a new standard in safety for the operation of powered gates and soon many other types of powered closure devices."
