CARROLLTON — Integrated Security Systems, Inc. today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, B&B ARMR Corporation, has received a significant order destined for delivery and installation at a U.S. embassy in North Africa. For security reasons, the exact location of the embassy was not disclosed.

The order, valued at approximately one-quarter of a million dollars, is for several Model 820 shallow mount vehicle barriers. This particular product is certified by the U.S. Department of State to meet the rigorous K-12 crash rating, the highest level certification. The Model 820 barrier can be deployed in under one second and is capable of stopping a 15,000 lb. vehicle traveling at 50 mph in less than 4 feet, yet requires only a 12 inch excavation to install. The barrier is widely used in governmental and industrial installations throughout the world.

The barriers are scheduled to ship within the first quarter of Fiscal 2008, which begins July 1.

Headquartered in Carrollton, Texas, ISSI is a technology company that provides products and services for homeland security needs. ISSI also designs, develops and markets safety equipment and security software to the commercial, industrial and governmental marketplaces.
