Significant new customer

The Board of Digital Barriers plc (the "Group"), the specialist provider of advanced surveillance technologies to the security and defence sectors, is pleased to announce that it has deployed its fully integrated Unattended Ground Sensor ("UGS") solution with a new government customer in a major African country to protect a critical and high-profile government location.

With the success of this deployment, part of a sale valued at approximately £300,000, this customer has approved a procurement for the protection of two additional locations, expected to be valued at a further £1.2 million and to be delivered this financial year.

The Group expects additional material sales into this country for its TVI video and RDC ground sensor solutions, which together comprise the Group's Integrated Surveillance Platform, for the protection of sensitive border locations, military facilities and vulnerable oil pipelines.

Tom Black, Executive Chairman of Digital Barriers commented:

"This successful and very high-profile deployment of our Integrated Surveillance Platform will protect a critical facility for a government which is facing a significant counter-terrorism challenge.

The selection of our solution clearly demonstrates the compelling nature of this unique capability, which combines our surveillance architecture, ground sensor and video technologies, and we are now engaged on a pipeline of material opportunities in the same country.

I believe it is extremely encouraging for our future success that we have similar levels of engagement across all of our regions, where our fully integrated, enterprise grade solutions are generating significant interest with major government and commercial customers."
