Business Wire, Jan 10, 2005

CLEARWATER, Fla. — SkyWay Communications Holding Corp. (OTCBB:SWYC – News), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, SkyWay Aircraft Inc., announced today the signing of an agreement with the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) – Aviation Office indicating that SkyWay has been chosen as a primary provider to showcase their technology for airport security applications at the FDOT – Aviation Test Center located in Tallahassee, Florida. The Center is scheduled to open in February, 2005. The agreement is set to launch immediately and provides for the installation and operation of the SkyWay’s Integrated Airport Security System, which will be integrated into the newly developed FDOT Aviation Test Center’s security system.

Mr. Richard L. Duley, Manager of Aviation Systems and Support for the Florida Department of Transportation stated, “This is a great accomplishment for the FDOT – Aviation Test Center. This will be the first of its kind in the United States. The goal of the FDOT and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is to provide a place for all Florida transportation organizations, with special attention to airports and ports of entry, to preview, test and purchase the latest services and technology for their facilities. This Center will be the FDOT’s ‘seal of approval’ for all security solutions identified and funded through the FDOT budget. Currently the FDOT is responsible for over 750 public, private and military aviation-related installations, 23 fixed-route transit systems and 14 seaports/ports of entry throughout Florida with a 6 Billion dollar budget for 2003/2004.”

Mr. Duley went on to say, “After meeting with SkyWay during the FAC Conference, we felt it was important for us to bring this technology to Tallahassee and let the airports’ administrators evaluate the system. The FDOT wants to make Florida’s airports safe and secure with the use of the latest technology available. We are looking forward to working with SkyWay.”

Marisol Casablanca, SkyWay Vice President, Product and Business Development said, “SkyWay is proud to present the Florida Department of Transportation – Aviation Office with our Airport Security Products for utilization and display at the new FDOT Aviation Test Center in Tallahassee. We believe that this Agreement, which enables SkyWay to showcase and demonstrate its Airport Security Platform directly to our target market, could lead to new revenue generating opportunities. SkyWay anticipates providing our services to many general and commercial aviation airports across the nation. Our mission is to become the Industry’s first to provide a total solution for security services on the ground and while on-board an aircraft.”

SkyWay’s airport security platform integrates a variety of technologies and applications including both active and passive RFID technology, which is used in a variety of access control applications. The SkyWay platform also utilizes ultrasound biometric technology for fingerprint scanning and validation. This unique biometric technology produces the most accurate identification system in the industry. The security system will also employ video monitoring, remote video surveillance and digital video recording. Wireless technology (Wi-Fi 802.11) will be implemented to integrate PDAs (handheld computers) that will read identification credentials and validate the information against a central access database. The PDAs will display real-time video from multiple cameras installed throughout the facility. The remote video surveillance will be provided by SkyWay’s operations center in Clearwater, Florida. SkyWay’s dual role will be protecting the FDOT Aviation Test Center, and at the same time, showcasing its technical capabilities to support the State of Florida’s Homeland Security initiatives.

SkyWay’s mobile security platform applications are currently under development and will be available to provide mobile command and control features and perimeter security services. This system is being designed to be supported by Hummer H2 multi-purpose based production vehicles equipped with sophisticated camera systems, live monitoring and surveillance systems as well as emergency communication services.

SkyWay has been conducting extensive research and development on transportation security technology and related applications, and is committed to providing airports’ administrators with a sophisticated and well-designed infrastructure for managed security. SkyWay’s goal is to set the standard in the U.S. Aviation Industry for airport security and passenger safety. As an Integrator, SkyWay will work with the Aviation Community to develop, deploy and implement the solutions to meet and exceed the special needs of the airline industry.
