ATLANTA, Jan 11, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Charys Holding Company, Inc. ("Charys") (CHYS) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Charys Technology Group, Inc. ("CTG") provided field systems integration support to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, The Capitol Police, and the Seminole County Sheriff's Office for the operation of CTG's Rapid Deployment wireless surveillance network for the Florida Governor's Inaugural proceedings.

The broadband wireless network was deployed in those locations that did not have a pre-existing surveillance system in operation. A sampling of the January 2, 2007 events included a parade and festival held at the Governor's mansion, a morning, prayer breakfast on the campus of Florida A&M University and the swearing in ceremony at the State Capitol.

"These systems are a critical addition to the traditional approaches utilized by law enforcement officers to enhance situational surveillance and control in a non-permanent setting. Employing Wireless Mesh Broadband networks and digital IP video in a tactical environment is proving to be one of the most significant strategies in modernizing law enforcement technologies. The CTG supplied systems deploy quickly and are extremely versatile, while 'user-friendly' enough to be operated by non-technical personnel. The multiple radio wireless mesh configuration also allows the system to be scaled to meet any size deployment required," stated Joseph Macaluso, Director of Government Markets for CTG.

Michael Oyster, CEO of Charys Technology Group commented, "It has been a true honor to assist Governor Crist and the state of Florida during these inaugural events. Our solutions have been developed recognizing that, as the mission of law enforcement and defense agencies evolves with the changing security climate, so too must the tools utilized by their personnel. Our fast response solutions reduce transportation and personnel requirements, resulting in significant cost savings, without compromising safety or the effectiveness of security."
