IDELIX Software Inc. Announces Supplier Partnership with Harris Corporation

October 31, 2005 - VANCOUVER, BC – Building on a relationship formed during cooperative relief work for hurricanes Katrina and Rita, IDELIX Software Inc. announced today the signing of a collaborative agreement with Harris Corporation to incorporate IDELIX's Pliable Display Technology (PDT) in upcoming federal government projects for which Harris Corporation is the prime contractor.

"We needed a teammate that could provide advanced visualization to enhance the data streaming capabilities of our solutions — IDELIX was a natural fit," said Tom Freeberg, Geospatial Programs Director at Harris Corporation's Government Communications Systems Division. "IDELIX visualization technology has proven itself through our cooperative work on hurricane [Katrina and Rita] relief efforts. We look forward to building on this relationship in the months ahead."

During hurricane relief efforts, Harris established KatrinaImagery.org, a collaborative Web presence which consolidated access to imagery data and viewing tools. Software, including the PDT-enabled Image Access Solution (IAS), was made available on the Katrina Imagery Website so that relief workers could access and analyze the latest geospatial imagery available from the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The PDT-enabled IAS application from RSI, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Industries, incorporates PDT's focus + context viewing and JPEG 2000 data streaming techniques. The IAS software can quickly retrieve a low-resolution version of an image from a JPEG 2000 file on a server. A PDT lens can then be applied to identify any area of the image for closer inspection while maintaining the contextual overview. Once identified, only the higher resolution detail of the area defined by the boundaries of the PDT lens is decompressed from the JPEG 2000 file — not the entire image. The results are reduced bandwidth requirements, faster access to relevant information, and more efficient image analysis.

"Contributing our technology to Katrina relief efforts was very rewarding," commented IDELIX President Keith Ippel. "Harris is a leader in the field of data acquisition and distribution and we are excited about the applications and innovations that will result from our collaboration."

IDELIX, ITT Industries, and Harris will be demonstrating their latest developments October 31st to November 2nd at GEOINT 2005 in San Antonio, Texas. GEOINT 2005 is the premier event for the geospatial intelligence community, bringing government, industry, and military leaders together with leading suppliers and industry experts.

About IDELIX

IDELIX specializes in the design and integration of Pliable Display Technology (PDT), an advanced user interface for detail-in-context data viewing and manipulation. PDT aids comprehension by enhancing data visualization and interaction, de-cluttering multi-layered geospatial imagery, maps, video, Web and other converged content. Combining PDT with partner and customer applications, IDELIX is improving the way businesses and individuals view and edit information.

IDELIX partners Boeing S&IS Mission Systems, ITT Industries, Defence Research and Development Canada, and the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency have already recognized the value-added impact of including PDT in their software and Web-based applications.
