CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Feb. 21, 2006 — Global ePoint, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEPT - News), a leading manufacturer of security technologies for the aviation, law enforcement, commercial and industrial markets, announced today that its AirWorks Aviation Division recently completed the first sales of its Cockpit Door Surveillance System (CDSS) into the Indian aviation market. GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) purchased the CDSS for use by Air Deccan and Indigo Airlines, two fast-growing regional carriers, who will be leasing two Airbus A320 aircraft. The CDSS is already installed on over 800 aircraft flying worldwide on major international airlines and domestic carriers.

"We are excited to complete the first sales of the CDSS into one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world," said Ricky Frick, President of the Company’s AirWorks Division. "India’s economy, which represents Asia’s fourth largest market, is on the threshold of globalization, with the aviation industry expected to play an increasingly important role. Our ability to enter new markets early has the potential to deliver strong revenue growth, as we previously demonstrated in Germany where we have 88% of the market. Emerging markets, such as Mexico and India, represent attractive opportunities for AirWorks to grow."

At last year’s Paris Air Show, Indian carriers accounted for more than half of the US$13 Billion orders. Recently, Air India placed an order for 68 jets (US$11 Billion), the largest single order in India’s Civil Aviation history. In 2005, India’s air traffic was almost a million passengers and with this year’s forecast of a 15-18% domestic traffic growth, India's air travel market is poised to grow about 30% over the next five years.

Recognizing India’s growing stature in the aviation market, the Federal Aviation Administration has decided to open its first overseas office in India, a move that is seen as a measure of India's growing importance in the field of aviation in the region. Announced during the Indian Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patels’ official US visit, the New Delhi liaison office, staffed by a permanent FAA representative, seeks to develop greater technical cooperation and field agreements not only in aviation infrastructure, air traffic control systems and certification, but more importantly, aviation safety systems.
