Burnaby, British Columbia CANADA, September 18, 2012 /FSC/ - Viscount Systems Inc. (OTCMARKETS:VSYS), a high technology supplier of IT-focused solutions for physical security, announced today that the company has opened an office in Washington, D.C. to support its growing U.S. Federal Government client base. Viscount's D.C. office will be headed by Mr. Don Williams, National Accounts Manager for Viscount. The company held an open house at the City Club of Washington on September 14th to introduce Mr. Williams and Viscount's technology platforms to a select list of federal government agencies, system integrators and prime contractors.

"Our initial Federal Government projects have demonstrated the ability of Freedom to secure Federal facilities within the requirements of FIPS 201 at a dramatically lower

cost than traditional systems," noted Stephen Pineau, President and CEO of Viscount. "We have an increasing number of additional agencies which are seeing the advantages of abandoning costly access control panels in favor of Freedom IP bridges and software and we expect the Federal Systems market to become a key vertical market for our company in the coming months. It has become critical to have full time Washington, D.C. support to service these opportunities."
