The TiemPo will be sold and distributed in Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) through EMRISE’s’ subsidiary CXR Anderson Jacobson (“CXR-AJ”) located in Abondant, France. CXR Larus produces a range of telecommunications products including network timing and synchronization equipment such as the TiemPo, network access and LAN extension products and test equipment for both public carriers and private telecommunications networks on a worldwide basis. Carmine T. Oliva, Chairman, President and CEO, remarked: “Development of the TiemPo product has been a major investment for the corporation. It is our first truly international timing product designed to meet not only U.S. but also European and other world performance standards. Our new StarClock™ TiemPo timing system manufactured for us by Hitachi OMD in the U.S. is our primary communications equipment growth driver for 2007 and beyond. Receiving the CE certification now opens the EMEA market for our TiemPo product. The TiemPo solution is a highly competitive product on both price and features and we expect it to contribute to improved gross margins in the future. It is conveniently scalable and is in a desirable compact physical size compared to the competition. Above all, it allows our customers to move seamlessly from traditional circuit switched networks to packet based networks without having to upgrade or alter its infrastructure.” He added, “The CE certification validates the quality and technology employed in the design of the TiemPo and now positions the company to market our products on a worldwide basis.” About EMRISE CORPORATION EMRISE Corporation is a multi-national manufacturer of defense, aerospace and industrial electronic devices and communications equipment.
