Nighthawk Systems Announces Sales to Washington Fire Departments

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Nighthawk Systems, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: NIHK) , a leading provider of intelligent wireless power recycling and remote control products, today announced that it has sold its PT1000 units for use in firehouses in King and Snohomish counties in Washington. The Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") has recently restricted the use of historically available frequencies used for dispatches to firehouses, causing many fire departments across the country to reconsider how dispatches are received and acted upon.

Nighthawk products are being requested by fire departments because of their reliability, functionality and low cost relative to other alternatives. Nighthawk PT1000's are highly intelligent units; a single unit can perform a wide variety of tasks for different applications. In a firehouse, a single Nighthawk unit will typically receive a wireless dispatch and simultaneously activate wake up alarms, activate the building public address system, disconnect appliances and open bay doors.

H. Douglas Saathoff, Nighthawk's CEO, stated, "Firehouse automation represents a very large potential market for Nighthawk in 2005 that we are already stepping into. Fire departments are facing tough budget decisions in the face of changing technology. Exposure through these projects in Washington, combined with similar applications in Colorado and Arizona, give us an opportunity to greatly expand on in the coming months. We offer one of the simplest and most affordable overall solutions in this market."
