SeaView Brings High-Speed Power Line Carrier Technology to the Transportation Industry

    TIERRA VERDE, Fla.--Aug. 13, 2002--SeaView Video Technology, Inc. (OTCBB:SEVU) announces a new product line for the transportation industry. Leveraging existing patent-protected Power Line Carrier (PLC) technology, SeaView has built a new system that runs voice, video, audio and data communication over DC (Direct Current) power lines to add to their existing SecureView(TM) AC (Alternating Current) product lines.
    Within the transportation industry, SeaView's new DC product line will initially be utilized on trucking and managed fleet vehicles to provide a "near-wireless" high-speed on-board video solution. "This solution will provide a tremendous economic value to the end-user, both directly by improved ease of installation and decreased maintenance cost, as well as indirectly by reducing insurance premiums and increasing operational safety for any class of trucking vehicle," says George S. Bernardich III, Chairman & CEO of SeaView.
    The system consists of small environmentally-sealed transmitter and receiver modules, simply connecting to a truck's existing electrical wiring harness. Video signals from a side-mounted or rear-mounted camera are transmitted using PLC to a receiver and video monitor mounted inside the truck's cab. The receiver module powers itself and the video monitor via a standard cigarette lighter adapter, intercepting and converting the video signal. SeaView's PLC technology is compatible with existing video products accepting the RS-170/EIA standard composite video signal.
    SeaView's new PLC technology has been successfully installed on both consumer and commercial trucks. Based on the success of these initial installations, SeaView has received an initial order from The Tyman Group, LLC for integration into their existing portfolio of mobile observation solutions. Tyman Group President, Art Tyson, commented, "SeaView's advanced DC Power-Line-Carrier capability for trucking transportation vehicles affords the most progressive `near-wireless' technology available on the market today."
    SeaView is currently establishing channel partners for marketing and distribution of this advanced PLC technology into the transportation industry's trucking, commercial managed fleet, passenger/school bus and automotive vertical markets.
