TIERRA VERDE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 6, 2003--SeaView Video Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:SEVU), industry leader in powerline technology, has engaged the government affairs firm of Alcalde & Fay in Arlington, Va. to represent its interests before the United States Congress as well as federal departments and agencies.

Alcalde & Fay's primary focus will be to inform, educate and demonstrate to the nation's top decision makers the potential of SeaView's patented powerline communication technology and its PowerLine Vision System(TM) (PLVS) which consists of small environmentally-sealed transmitter and receiver modules, which simply connect to a truck's existing electrical wiring harness. Video and audio signals from a side-mounted and/or rear-mounted camera are transmitted using PLC to a receiver and video monitor mounted inside the truck's cab. SeaView's PLC technology is compatible with existing video products accepting the RS-170/EIA standard composite video signal. This compatibility allows the retrofitting of existing rearview camera systems with PowerLine Vision System(TM) capabilities when the existing communication cable fails or breaks. Concurrently, Alcalde & Fay will be working with federal agencies to encourage the widest national applicability and the employment of the firm's technology by the federal government.

"Alcalde & Fay's reputation for success in Washington, particularly in the field of transportation, will help ensure that SeaView's technology and expertise will be brought to the forefront in transportation research and development, manufacturing and distribution," explains George S. Bernardich III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We are confident that this partnership will advance SeaView's agenda far beyond the National Intelligent Vehicle Initiative in which we are currently participating. We are the only company in the world that can provide a visual enhancement solution for tractor-trailers, and the sooner we can get our technology and product out on America's highways, the safer all drivers will be."

"Alcalde & Fay is excited about this innovative, new technology and pleased to be representing SeaView Video Technology in Washington," stated Kevin Fay, President of Alcalde & Fay.

Founded thirty years ago, Alcalde & Fay is one of Washington's largest public affairs firms, providing government and legislative counsel and services to clients worldwide. In addition, the firm offers its clients public relations and government marketing and procurement services. Transportation clients include the International Council of Cruise Lines, the Transportation Agency of Monterey County (CA) and the ports of Tampa and Miami (FL).
