Invisa’s New Antenna Design Brings Enhanced Sensing Capability and Reliability to Presence-Sensing Technology

SARASOTA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Invisa, Inc. (OTC.QBB: INSA) announced today a new antenna system designed to enhance the range and reliability of its globally distributed, non-contact-sensing safety systems. This latest advancement in the company’s InvisaShield™ technology fortifies the innovative connection and relief components of its current products, while maintaining RoHS compliancy (Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances) and CE conformity (EU required).

Invisa’s CEO Edmund C. King stated, “Our SmartGate® safety products are increasingly demanded by pedestrians, parking gate manufacturers and owners of public and private facilities. SmartGate® is specified, either by brand name or for its unique performance, at public parking projects such as DFW Airport, South Carolina Port Authority and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.”

Company President John Zappala added, “From a risk management standpoint, enhanced pedestrian protection is only one benefit provided by SmartGate®. Cost savings accrue from reduced liability exposure and reduction of insurance claims.”

The new antenna is an integral component of Invisa’s SmartGate® safety system, which provides non-contact pedestrian and vehicle protection for parking barrier gates and powered enclosures. The invisible safety and security field senses potential contact prior to intrusion with unrivaled dependability and low maintenance requirements. Sensing interference before contact is breached substantially increases the first line of defense for commercial, industrial and governmental markets.

According to Elizabeth A. Henson, Invisa’s VP of Operations: “The new antenna system significantly enhances our InvisaShield™ sensors. We’re marketing the SmartGate® safety system to the parking barrier gate industry, since they’re increasingly focused on avoiding unwanted contact with pedestrians and vehicles and related liability.”

About Invisa, Inc.:

Invisa's proprietary InvisaShield™ technology is based upon capacitive sensing. Invisa's SmartGate® safety system generates an invisible protective field that moves with and precedes the potentially hazardous leading edge of powered gates, garage doors, sliding doors and other powered closures. For information about SmartGate® products or the patented InvisaShield technology, visit www.invisa.com or call 941-870-3950. A video of SmartGate® in action can be viewed at the company web site.

Safe Harbor Act Disclaimer: This release contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations or beliefs, as well as a number of assumptions about future events. In addition, other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are discussed in the Company's most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
