Defentect (OTC BB: SLNH) LifeStorage announced today that it will install Defentect (OTC Bulletin Board: SLNH.OB) threat awareness solutions including its GT2^TM gamma radiation sensors and DM3^TM threat awareness software to extend existing security solutions at their ten suburban Chicago self storage facilities. The system will monitor entrances and exits for the presence of radioactive dirty bomb components. Defentect's system safeguards infrastructure from dangerous radiological exposure and informs first responders in the event of an incident.

Equipped with radiation detection, LifeStorage becomes a leader in securing self storage facilities in America. Among the first in the U.S. to add this additional layer of protection to their facilities' video surveillance systems, LifeStorage continues to work with leading vendors to protect their customers' possessions.

There are approximately 2.2 billion square feet of self storage area in over 52,000 self storage facilities in the U.S. (equivalent to three times Manhattan Island). One in ten U.S. households now rents a self storage unit, creating a U.S. self storage industry generating more than $20 billion in revenues each year.

Self storage customers are allowed to store non-hazardous, non-toxic, non-perishable material in their facilities. The Self Storage Association (SSA) (www.selfstorage.org) in Springfield, VA, is the trade organization representing the self storage industry. Owners of self storage properties and the U.S. Government communicate in an effort to protect against misuse of the facilities. Historically, terrorist plots involving improvised explosive devices used self storage facilities to house parts of bombs or supplies in preparation for an attack. In 1993, cell members conducting the first attack on the World Trade Center in New York housed chemicals in a self storage unit in New Jersey. The government enlists America's self storage personnel to help prevent future terrorist attacks using their awareness of unusual fumes, liquids, residues or odors emanating from storage units; discarded chemical containers in storage unit dumpsters; quantities of fuel; agricultural or industrial chemicals; explosives, blasting caps or fuses; weapons or ammunition; lab materials; pesticides; drugs and other illicit items.

"Radiological material can cause tremendous psychological, sociological and economic devastation, and even kill, when dispersed by a dirty bomb," said Frank O'Connor, President of Defentect. "The primary objective of LifeStorage's Defentect radiation detection system is to identify the presence of these materials and provide information necessary to make a quick and informed response."

"We view the Defentect solution as a way to protect both our customers and our physical assets," said Christopher Barry, Partner, LifeStorage Centers, "as well as to help us do our part to protect the communities we service and keep them safe."

When high-energy gamma rays from dirty bomb components reach Defentect's GT2^TM sensors, DM3's^TM proprietary algorithms confirm the event and alert authorities to radiation that may pose a security threat. Communication features in Defentect's DM3^TM software provide the ability to notify virtually anyone with a telephone, PDA, computer or full command center, helping to coordinate response team efforts.

Through the installation of Defentect's DM3^TM threat management, monitoring and messaging software and Gammatect^TM radiation sensors in all its facilities, LifeStorage becomes a vigilant leader in their industry and its customers and the public receive an added layer of protection.
