Business Wire, Nov 19, 2007

First ever Mobile TSA-Certified EDS is Purchased by a Government Customer in the Middle East for High Risk Facility Security

BEDFORD, Mass. -- Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc., a developer of advanced security inspection systems, announced today that it has shipped its first Mobile CT-80 automated explosives detection system (EDS) to a government customer in the Middle East. The unit will be used for event security at high profile facilities.

The Mobile CT-80 is the first and only TSA-certified EDS to be deployed as a mobile unit. Available as a self-contained truck, trailer or container unit, the Mobile CT-80 incorporates a fully functional CT-based EDS system capable of automatically detecting explosives in items from small personal effects to large bags, packages and break-bulk cargo. The system is designed to withstand harsh environments using self-contained power generation, heating and cooling and operate for up to three days without external power. Featuring an inside, climate controlled operator station and conveyers that fold down to receive and release bags, screening can begin within minutes of arrival.

Michael Ellenbogen, president and CEO of Reveal Imaging Technologies, said, "The Mobile CT-80 is the ultimate in flexible baggage and package inspection - providing EDS-level screening when and where you need it. This particular customer is in a high risk environment that demands a proven, reliable explosives detection solution. Because they have multiple facilities, a mobile system that can be easily relocated based on schedule demands is ideal. We're pleased to provide an efficient single solution to constantly changing security challenges."

Reveal offers a variety of mobile EDS solutions can be used as needed in high risk venues to secure special events, augment airline screening during peak capacity times, screen baggage from international carriers or provide flexible cargo security.

About Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc.

Headquartered in Bedford, MA, privately held Reveal Imaging Technologies, Inc. is one of only three companies to successfully pass the TSA's certification process for automated explosive detection systems (EDS).

Reveal's CT-80 was certified in 2004 by TSA and deployed to U.S. airports to meet TSA standards to automatically inspect 100% of checked bags for explosives.

The Reveal CT-80 platform, with its breakthrough dual-energy Computed Tomography (CT) technology shrinks the size, cost and weight of certified EDS systems. The small physical size of the CT-80 platform allows it to fit into existing footprints and smaller airports. Offering low installation cost and exceptional service, Reveal's TSA certified systems are currently deployed in over 50 US airports and in countries such as Israel, France, Mexico, Canada, Ecuador, and Jamaica.
