Posted on: Thursday, 3 September 2009, 08:01 CDT

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- China Security & Surveillance Technology, Inc. ("CSST" or the "Company") (NYSE: CSR; Nasdaq Dubai: CSR), a leading provider of digital surveillance technology in the PRC, today announced it has signed an E-city project framework agreement valued at approximately RMB 1 billion (approximately US$146.2 million based on an exchange rate of USD 1.00 to RMB 6.84) with the local government of Haimen City in the southeast of Jiangsu Province.

Haimen City, located at the Changjiang River Delta, is one of the largest industrial cities close to Shanghai and has a Gross Regional Product of RMB 36 billion in 2008, according to http://www.haimen.gov.cn . The Haimen E-city project involves the build out of a fully integrated Safe City platform, Emergency Response System and Digital City Network, as well as the digitization of the Binjiang Industry & Trade Zone to support the development of Haimen City. The project features the combination of broadband communications infrastructure, flexible and service-oriented computer systems, and multi-media and mass storage platforms; as well as the integration of innovative GIS, GPS, remote sensing and various other technologies to meet the needs of the government, citizens and businesses. The project will be performed on a standard Build-and-Transfer arrangement whereby CSST will undertake the construction of the E-city project and transfer the work to the Haimen government upon completion.

Mr. Guoshen Tu, Chief Executive Officer of CSST, commented, "We are very excited to be able to sign this E-city framework agreement with Haimen City. This project highlights the expansion of CSST's solutions to include not only surveillance and safety offerings but also other broader digital infrastructure offerings, which parallels CSST's strategic development."

Mr. Tu continued, "We are also very excited that our leading brand and unparalleled scale and scope continue to be the key winning criteria for these ever larger projects. Our proven reputation of success and our competitive advantage to provide comprehensive digital solutions further differentiate CSST to our local government customers, as they increasingly demand more features and capabilities beyond the scope of Safe City architecture. We believe our expanding customer portfolio of these large scale E-city projects will in turn drive additional wins in other major cities throughout China."
