Alliance with World’s Leading International Security Solutions
Company to Accelerate TSI PRISM RFID Tracking Market Adoption
Alanco Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ: ALAN), today announced that
its Alanco/TSI PRISM (TSI) subsidiary, the world’s leading developer of
in-facility RFID monitoring systems, has entered into international
distribution, licensing and manufacturing agreements with G4S Justice
Services Inc. (G4S). Under terms of the international distribution
agreement, G4S has been granted exclusive distribution and licensing
rights for the TSI system outside the continental U.S. Within the
continental U.S., G4S will participate with TSI on certain major new
market opportunities where the combined businesses can add value to the
customer. G4S will also manufacture the RF transmitter bracelets worn by
the offenders/detainees within prison and detention facilities utilizing
TSI’s RFID monitoring system. The agreements further provide for initial
licensing fees and payments to TSI during the Company’s current fiscal
fourth quarter period beginning April 1, 2009.
G4S Justice Services Inc. CEO Blake Beach commented, “We are very
excited about our new business relationship with Alanco/TSI PRISM and
the benefits that each company can derive from it. Systems that monitor
movement within correctional facilities promote transparency and
accountability, which is critical in this era of increased focus on
improving performance and reducing litigation. TSI’s RFID monitoring
solution solves many problems for corrections administrators, ranging
from basic activities such as accurate prison counts to more complex
requirements such as identifying gang and radicalization activity.”
Alanco Chairman and CEO Bob Kauffman added, “This G4S alliance adds a
significant new dimension to both our international and domestic
business. G4S’ extensive global footprint, with operations in 110
countries, will enhance TSI PRISM international market opportunities to
an extent only possible through the marketing capabilities of a dominant
worldwide security industry leader. Domestically, G4S’ extensive
relationships and strong reputation in the U.S. criminal justice market
will help accelerate the adoption of TSI PRISM RFID tracking in certain
U.S. market opportunities which have been historically difficult to
penetrate.
