The plan provides USD1.5 million in marketing funding from Samsung Electronics between January 2008 and January 2009 to expand GVI sales and marketing programs and to facilitate the planned launch of the new GVI Samsung Electronics IP video security surveillance line. The marketing plan calls for a joint GVI Samsung nationwide road show to roll out the new products and targets 2010 sales in excess of USD100 million.

"With the accelerating video security surveillance market and the transition to video over IP the development and marketing resources of a dominant electronics leader like Samsung Electronics becomes more and more of an advantage," says GVI CEO Steven Walin "Samsung's commitment to devote their resources to drive our expansion in the North American market means that we have not only the products we need to grow, but also the corporate support and marketing strength to help increase our market share over the next three years"

"We have confidence in GVI Security Solutions to rapidly increase Samsung Electronics video security sales in the Americas," says Mr. CH Ha account manager of Samsung Electronics "GVI has been a great partner for us in the Americas and we look forward to successful results as we work together to grow market share and launch the advanced IP products line"
