L-3 Communications, BroadWare™, Intergraph, and Hewlett Packard® Join Forces
to Showcase Best Practices and Practical Learning in Inaugural Seminar

SYColeman, a division of L-3 Communications (NYSE: LLL), is pleased to announce a breakfast seminar hosted by the IP Video Systems Academy (IPVSA) in Reston, VA on January 18th. This event, which will feature presentations from industry leaders L-3 Communications, BroadWare™, Intergraph, and Hewlett Packard®, is designed to help systems architects learn how to create open, scalable security systems. The seminar, which will be both a practical leaning workshop and best-practices session, will run from 8:30am to 11:30am.

“Designing a security architecture is a Herculean task,” said Lt. General Jared Bates, U.S. Army (Retired), President, SYColeman, “Managers need to consider an overwhelming number of choices in hardware and software while keeping the scalability and the upgradeability of their security system in tact. We co-created the IP Video Systems Academy to educate security professionals about these difficult decisions by exposing them to best-in-breed-technologies.”

As concerns over safety and security rise, readiness requires greater domain awareness, information management and operational control capabilities. Scalable IT networks are a necessity in both the private and public sectors, in order to leverage existing investment in security technologies, and allow systems to evolve over time to include new technologies.

“The need to closely monitor large spaces is an unfortunate reality in today’s world,” added General Bates, “Having the right IP Video System significantly enhances the ability to see the total picture and respond preemptively to contain perceived threats.”

The IPVSA team consists of four industry leaders: L-3 Communications, BroadWare™, Intergraph, and Hewlett Packard®. These companies have come together under the leadership of SYColeman to help IT and Security managers develop comprehensive IP video solutions that are open to changes in scope, need and technology. Each of the four partners brings a wealth of expertise and industry experience in their particular market sector, and they are all well versed in the application of their technologies to IP video system design and development.

Additional IPVSA events in 2007 will explore other fundamental issues involved in the IP video space. For more information, please contact Jeff Heubusch, Senior Marketing and Communications Manager for SYColeman at 703-623-3590 or visit this IPVSA website at www.ipvsacademy.org.
