EMRISE Corporation Introduces New StarSync™ Edge 6800 Next Generation Timing Product

Second Product from Development Agreement with Brilliant Telecommunications Provides End-to-End Solution for Most Complex Next Generation Networks

LAS VEGAS - June 17, 2008 - EMRISE CORPORATION (NYSE Arca:ERI), a Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.-headquartered multinational designer, manufacturer and marketer of proprietary electronic devices and communications equipment for aerospace, defense, industrial, and communications applications, today announced the introduction of its StarSync™ Edge 6800 next generation network timing system at the NXTcomm08 Conference in Las Vegas. First production shipments for the StarSync™ 6800 are projected for Q3 2008. The NXTcomm08 conference, which replaces SUPERCOMM as the one event delivering the entire spectrum of network-enabled voice, video, and data, is taking place from June 16 – 19 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The StarSync™ Edge 6800, released by the Company’s CXR Larus Corporation subsidiary, is the second product from the joint marketing and product development collaboration with Brilliant Telecommunications Inc. of Campbell, Calif., originally announced April 1, 2008.

The StarSync™ 6800 is a rack-mountable high accuracy, carrier-class Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precise Time Protocol (PTP/IEEE1588V2) Client Product designed to operate in parallel with the StarSync™ 6850 NTP/PTP server, which was the first product developed from the EMRISE/Brilliant relationship.

EMRISE President and CEO Carmine T. Oliva said that Brilliant technology is being integrated into EMRISE’s existing suite of timing and synchronization products to reduce cost and shorten engineering cycle time to market for its expanding range of product offerings. “We believe these new products will position our CXR Larus subsidiary for dynamic growth in 2008 and beyond,” Oliva commented.

. “The combination of the 6800 and 6850 with our own StarClock™ TiemPo™ product provides us the ability to seamlessly serve the synchronization and timing needs of the most complex NTP/PTP or converged TDM/NTP next generation networks,” Oliva said. “We now have a total solution that will broaden our product offering in the next generation network market servicing wireless backhaul, full IP networks, as well as the traditional circuit switched and converged networks.”

The StarSync 6800 is a temperature-hardened product, which opens the door to many applications with remote hubs and hostile environments, such as in the French-speaking North African market served by EMRISE’s French subsidiary CXR Anderson Jacobson. The 6800 and the 6850 are part of a family of products providing wire-speed NTP/PTP IEEE1588 v2 with unparalleled accuracy.

Charles Barry, chairman and CEO of Brilliant, commented, “For Brilliant, the ongoing collaboration with EMRISE continues to broaden our distribution and support channels and validates our strategy to employ strategic partners like EMRISE’s CXR Larus subsidiary. The velocity that CXR Larus has brought to the table is helping us drive rapid market expansion of our precise timing and synchronization technologies for next generation networks. Further product enhancements are planned for the relationship that will allow both companies to service a total market solution with complimentary embedded and standalone products. We are very pleased with the partnership and look forward to increasing sales for both companies in the years to come.”
