  WidePoint commenced several teaming agreements in three new vertical markets to leverage the Federal PKI in Health Care, Insurance, and Hospitality industries.

  WidePoint launched work on a Department of Defense (“DoD”) physical access initiative to include ORC© External Certificate Authority (“ECA”) certificates on smartcards to support non-DoD entities transacting business with U.S. government entities.

  WidePoint experienced approximately 80% renewal rates of ECA credentials during the quarter ending March 31, 2007.

Steve Komar, CEO of WidePoint, stated, “Our efforts to strategically position and build a base of business within the Identity Management marketplace is beginning to take hold as we start to expand our presence and expertise with a range of new customers, partners, and integrators.”

Dan Turissini, CTO of WidePoint commented, “Our most recent award to provide an enterprise-wide Smart ID solution represents the first government contractor to fully leverage federal compliant identity management to satisfy both internal and business-to-government transaction protection. Our solution implements a full spectrum turnkey solution from card request to card termination enabling full compliance with recent Federal Acquisition Regulations that address identity management, strong authentication and HSPD-12.”

Turissini added, “Working with the first responder community, establishing pilots within the health care, insurance and hospitality industries, and addressing international government-to-government credentialing needs continues to extend our reach as this new marketplace matures. We continue to be excited about the long-term opportunities as the need and adoption of strong authentication grows.”
