Advanced, cost-effective high definition surveillance solutions and exceptional team key to Avigilon’s global success

Vancouver, Canada – September 23, 2010 – Avigilon, the performance and value leader in high definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance systems, today announced that it has been ranked among the Deloitte Technology Fast 50TM, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Canada, based on the percentage of revenue growth over five years. Avigilon’s revenues increased 33,664 percent from 2005 to 2009—making it the fastest growing company in Western Canada and among the top five fastest growing companies in Canada.

“Canadian technology companies have demonstrated some very impressive growth numbers over the past year, amid the challenges of an uncertain global economic recovery,” said John Ruffolo, national leader, technology, media & telecommunications industry group, Deloitte. “Avigilon has the determination, drive and skill that will serve to position them for further growth and success in the years to come.”

Alexander Fernandes, President and CEO credits the company’s expanding portfolio of advanced HD surveillance solutions, exceptional team, and a global network of integration partners with the company’s 33,664 percent revenue growth. “Despite challenging economic conditions, the global demand for Avigilon’s High Definition surveillance solutions continues to grow.
