Fortress Technologies Launches Man-Wearable Tactical Mesh Point, Mesh Viewer Solutions

LANSDOWNE, VA--(Marketwire - August 18, 2009) - Fortress Technologies, the leader in secure
tactical wireless communications, today announced two new solutions to its
product portfolio that enable the easy deployment, management, and
monitoring of on-the-move wireless networks. The Fortress ES210 Tactical
Mesh Point is a wireless mesh networking solution designed specifically to
be worn by individuals or used for edge devices such as surveillance
cameras, unmanned vehicles, and sensors. Fortress Mesh ViewerT enables
users to monitor the health and performance of an established mesh network.

"Bringing secure, net-centric wireless communications directly to
warfighters, border patrol agents, or emergency responders is essential,"
said Janet Kumpu, President, Fortress. "The Fortress ES210 Tactical Mesh
Point takes that one step further -- allowing these individuals to carry
the network with them while on foot or in vehicles. Combined with Mesh
Viewer, agencies now have the ability to remotely track, manage, and
monitor the nodes within the mesh network from a central location."

A self-forming, self-healing mesh network device that is delivered in a
small and rugged form factor with integrated GPS and FIPS 140-2 compliant
security, the ES210 Tactical Mesh Point provides dependable performance in
a wide range of conditions including arctic, desert, tropical, and maritime
environments. Fortress Mesh Viewer provides information on the health of
nodes, and connectivity between the nodes, within a mesh network. When
combined with device location data, it easily integrates with popular
situational awareness tools such as Google Earth to display node positions.

Fortress is showcasing these new solutions at LandWarNet on August 19, 2009
