AASSET Security Group to Distribute ioimage Products in France

HERZLIYA, Israel, May 18, 2007 – ioimage, the pioneer of intelligent video appliances designed for simplicity, announced today that it has embarked on a successful partnership with AASSET Security, a leading European manufacturer and distributor of CCTV and other security products and solutions. According to the agreement, AASSET serve as a distributor of ioimage products in France. Since the accord went into effect, AASSET has carried out a large number of small, medium and large ioimage-based security installations at major military, transportation, logistics, infrastructure, and industrial sites.

Leveraging AASSET’s proven track record, rich expertise and satisfied customer base with ioimage’s leading line of cutting-edge security products, the partnership has led to a large number of successful deployments in France thus far. The two firms have teamed up to install security systems for leading French organizations including Nexans, a global expert in cables and cabling systems, RATP, the Parisian mass transit authority, and the nuclear research center Cadarache, one of Europe’s largest energy R&D centers.

The ioimage solution for Nexans replaces previously used infrared barriers in order to protect key manufacturing facilities and equipment from theft and vandalism. At RATP, trip-wire intrusion detection technology is used against graffiti vandalism. The solution at Cadarache delivers perimeter protection, thereby meeting the stringent demands of the security-sensitive nuclear research center.

“By partnering with ioimage, we have boosted our security offering to clients throughout France,” said René Scetbon, Business Development Director of AASSET. “ioimage’s line of intelligent video products – which is suitable for large, medium and small installations – fits perfectly with our commitment to cater to any organization looking to enhance its security.”

AASSET’s customer base includes leading enterprises such as the Société Générale banking group and Air France, as well as prominent public-sector organizations and institutions such as the Paris airports authority and Louvre Museum.
