Confirms Potential Use in Villages Throughout the Third World: Company Plans Pilot Project by End of Summer

KEASBEY, N.J. -- Homeland Security Network, Inc. (Pink Sheets:HSYN), doing business as Global Ecology Corporation (GEC), today announced that it has successfully completed testing its PureWater System[TM] prototype, which uses GEC's proprietary copper sulfate acid formula to purify water. The company said it is now ready to begin marketing the system throughout the world. Tens of thousands of villages and towns worldwide suffer from inadequate drinking water supplies and are in desperate need of reliable sources of fresh water.

The system was acquired from Robert Elfstrom, GEC's new vice president of field operations and creator of the technology.

The World Health Organization estimates that over two million children under the age of five die each year and hundreds of millions are severely sickened due to a lack of clean drinking water.

Joseph Battiato, GEC's chairman said, "Creating fresh sources of drinking water is a major goal of the World Health Organization and the United Nations. We believe through our participation as a private partner to the United Nations we will be able to make a number of additional presentations to decision makers in numerous countries. We expect this will be instrumental in facilitating the global use of the PureWater System."

The company said it is preparing to begin production of the units and is planning for appropriate patent filings covering the system's design. The company also stated its goal is to launch an initial pilot project in a third world country by the end of the summer.

The PureWater System is a state of the art water purification system that can be easily deployed in hard to reach locations and can service the daily water needs of a 5,000-person village. The PureWater System removes water-born and human pollution as well as all harmful bacteria. The current mobile and stationary versions of the system can comfortably process about 35,000 gallons day at a rate of 45 gallons of water per minute. The PureWater System can be deployed in several ways. The mobile version is the only transportable high-volume, pure water production system available today using the company's chelated copper-based formula to purify water.

The initial application is a small wagon-like system that can be towed by small vehicles and delivered across the steepest terrains. The unit is flexible and independent enough to be powered by solar panels, a wind turbine, a diesel generator or some other external energy source. The company will soon complete a unit that is totally self-sufficient, housed in a secure container that can be deployed in any region of the world and monitored by the company's proprietary GPS technology to determine operational efficiency and overall use.

Robert Elfstrom, creator of the technology acquired by GEC, said, "This is the first time that a water processing system has been designed and intended for mass production with this type of cost efficiency and mobility. Our system will enable villages and other settlements to have clean water year round from any available source."

Global Ecology President Peter Ubaldi said, "The mobile version of our PureWater System is designed specifically to facilitate the delivery of clean water to hard to reach places. Because of the system's self-sufficient nature as well as its ease of use and deployment, we believe it will have significant impact on humanitarian and relief efforts and will be of particular interests to groups dedicated to these tasks. We have demonstrated the prototype to an influential group that has shown significant interest in this project. In the meantime, we will begin deploying units in pilot programs within the next 90 days. We believe we will be able to deliver a minimum of 1000 units per year beginning in 2009. This production number should generate revenue exceeding $50 million per year."
