--Expands Markets Outside of the DOD--
--Offers Intellectual Property and Systems Capabilities to Existing
Customers--
SAN DIEGO, CA, December 16, 2004 - SYS Technologies, Inc. ("SYS") (OTCBB:
SYYS), a provider of engineering, management and information technology
consulting services and solutions, today announced that it has acquired
the assets of Xsilogy, Inc. ("Xsilogy"), a provider of wireless sensor
network technologies and applications. Xsilogy, a privately held, San
Diego-based company, develops and markets low-cost wireless sensor
modules, infrastructure products and software for creating, deploying
and managing large machine-to-machine ("M2M") networks in industrial
applications. Xsilogy's customers and partners include Ashland, Motorola
and Royal Dutch/Shell among others. Terms of the acquisition were not
disclosed.
Cliff Cooke, Chief Executive Officer of SYS said, "The acquisition of
Xsilogy's wireless sensor technology is an important part of our growth
strategy, representing our first expansion into the products-oriented
business and to customers outside of the Department of Defense (DoD).
Xsilogy provides us with the ability to expand our markets to the
industrial arenas where the company has a proven domain expertise, while
offering existing customers, such as the US Military, Homeland Security
and state and local governments, these new capabilities. Our goal is to
integrate products and services so that we can provide complete systems
solutions to the unique problems within these markets".
"The combination of this technology together with our expertise in
systems design and integration positions SYS for the next great wave of
the digital era where virtually all high-value capital intensive assets
and electronic devices will become networked and accessible via
Internet-based communications, referred to as smart devices", said Cliff
Cooke, CEO of SYS. "Applications include remote asset location and
tracking; diagnostics and predictive maintenance; and control and
automation all of which are focused on asset optimization and management
for a broad set of markets including industrial, transportation and
government customers", added Mr. Cooke.
SYS will create a new division, Xsilogy Sensor Networking to be lead
by Rick Kriss, Xsilogy Founder and CEO, that will focus on this asset
optimization and management market. Harbor Research, an independent
market research firm, estimates that asset optimization savings
potential is in excess of $30 billion per year. Xsilogy's wireless
monitoring systems empower customers to continuously watch over any
critical process at anytime from anywhere, delivering real time graphs,
trends, alarms, and analysis to customers. Xsilogy networks also enable
industrial users to gain real time access to remote sensor points, re
deploy labor, streamline logistics, and avoid costly process upset
conditions.
Mr. Cooke continued, "The acquisition of Xsilogy completes Phase I of
our five-year corporate growth plan. Our goals were to profitably grow
the business, both organically and through acquisitions, build-up our
infrastructure in terms of people and processes, add product based
technologies to our service capabilities, and target compatible
technology business markets outside of the DoD".
"We have accomplished a five-fold increase in revenues over the last
five years and have significantly enhanced our infrastructure for
business management, corporate oversight, business development, and
engineering process enhancement. While most of the growth to date has
been organic, our successful acquisition and integration of Polexis has
also enhanced our growth. Our focus now is to continue our growth in the
military marketplace while expanding into industrial and homeland
security markets", concluded Mr. Cooke.
