EMRISE CORPORATION’S SUBSIDIARY, CXR LARUS CORPORATION, RECEIVES STRATEGIC FIRST ORDER FOR NEW TIEMPO 6400 TIMING PRODUCT RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CALIFORNIA, February 7, 2007 - EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca:ERI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment, today announced that its subsidiary, CXR Larus Corporation (“CXR Larus”), has received its first order for its recently announced next generation communication timing system, the StarClock™ TiemPo™ 6400. The order was received from a major systems integrator and network infrastructure provider. The order was part of a larger order that also included CXR Larus’ current generation StarClock™ 5800 product line for a large state governmental communications infrastructure build-out and upgrade. The new StarClock™ TiemPo™ 6400 is a fully-integrated, modular and scalable system for timing and synchronization of current and next generation packet network applications. It provides, in a very small form factor, a flexible and cost effective solution for timing and synchronization of telecommunication equipment including switches, VoIP media gateways, fiber equipment, IPTV and wireless equipment. The product meets or exceeds all relevant North American and European telecommunications standards. Larry Taillie, President of CXR Larus, commented, “This is an earlier than anticipated initial order for the TiemPo™ product, coming so quickly after its recent launch in mid January. The specification of the product was designed to meet a gap in the market for a small form factor, highly configurable and remotely managed product. We believe this initial order reflects the technical superiority of the product over its competition. Trial testing of the product is also proceeding well at two of our larger customers. Based on these initial successes, stocking orders have been released to our turnkey contract manufacturer that will provide broader product availability of the TiemPo™ in the second quarter of 2007.” Graham Jefferies, Executive Vice President and COO of EMRISE, commented, “The TiemPo™ has been a major investment for the corporation and our first truly international timing product designed to meet European and worldwide performance standards. The European launch of the product will be at the CEBIT trade show in Hanover Germany in March 2007 where the European ETSI version of the product will be demonstrated for the first time.” About EMRISE CORPORATION EMRISE Corporation is a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment.
