Further Orders from UK Police Forces

Appian Technology plc, the AIM listed provider of Automatic Number Plate Recognition systems ('ALPR') and traffic management products, has signed two new orders totalling £377,000.  Appian is to provide fixed-site CCTV based ALPR systems to a UK police force in the south west of England and to equip a national police force with its mobile ALPR systems. 

The fixed-site ALPR order, valued at £212,000, is phase three of a contract, which began in August 2005 and has proved very successful in reducing crime levels and ‘driving criminals off the road’.  Appian has performed well in the CCTV market, where it can superimpose and bolt on its ALPR technology into existing CCTV systems.  Appian expects the final phase of this contract to be agreed in the near future. 

The mobile ALPR order was won by Genesis UK, a wholly owned subsidary of Appian Technology plc, and is valued at £165,000. This is for 13 mobile ALPR systems to an existing customer, a national policing agency responsible for the UK’s nuclear infrastructure security. The systems will be installed into vehicles to use for mobile ALPR patrolling.

Appian Chairman Pat Ryan said, “Both these new contracts are with existing UK clients, who have been very happy with the high quality of previously supplied ALPR systems and our outstanding post sales service and support, demonstrating our leading position in the market.”
