PENNSAUKEN, NJ--(Marketwire - May 22, 2012) - Lattice Incorporated (OTCBB: [ LTTC ]), a provider of advanced information and communications technology solutions to the corrections industry and key government agencies, announced today that its Communications Services division, Lattice Secure Communications, is installing its corrections technology system for call management and secure communications for an additional 824 beds in South Dakota.

Pennington County Chief Deputy Willie Whelchel said, "The primary reason why the Sheriff's Office selected Lattice as the County's inmate phone service provider was the increased investigative possibilities utilizing cutting edge technology. This will enable additional security and protection for the citizens of Rapid City and the surrounding area," Whelchel said.

Lattice CEO Paul Burgess said, "Lattice is building an impressive reputation of providing high quality service and our superior Nexus technology platform is winning praise from law enforcement agencies in our installed base. Our Nexus Investigator technology can serve and support many county and state agencies all from a single platform to provide efficiency and cost savings. These significant technology differentiators and positive referrals from current users are adding to our growth momentum and ultimately helped us win the contract award at Pennington County jail.

"We've just reported that first quarter revenues in our Secure Communications business increased 106% from the prior year level. This growth was driven by increasing the number of inmates utilizing our direct service, and reflects a strong demand for our Nexus technology platform in the corrections market," Burgess said.
