- Emergency Communications Systems Improve After Katrina, but Problems Persist -
August 23, 2006 - Excerpts from the Associate Press news story shown below:
"While the hurricane debacle brought new immediacy, action has remained scarce beyond the creation of more joint panels and task forces that, like their predecessors, have been bogged down by disagreement over how to do it, by conflict over how to pay for it, and by the frictions that typically arise whenever multiple arms of government 'work together.'
At the very least, though, officials have seized upon the unfortunate momentum provided by hurricanes Katrina and Rita to implement interim solutions using relatively low-cost, low-tech equipment that has been available for years" ...
"Local and federal agencies also have purchased more bridging systems that can patch together many assorted makes and models of radios. Responders arriving at the scene of an incident can plug a handset from their system into the bridge and communicate with others over an assigned channel" ...
"Bridging equipment was already deployed in New Orleans before Katrina, but the facility where the equipment was housed was flooded. Now, state and federal agencies have been outfitting trucks with a combination of bridging, satellite and power-generation equipment so they can be moved around and transmit from areas where there are network or electrical outages. The National Guard, for example, recently awarded EFJ Inc. (EFJI) a $12 million order for 25 such systems, including one already delivered to the guard unit in Louisiana."
- Cisco Accelerate Advanced Wireless Network Security for U.S. Federal Agencies - August 13, 2006 -
Excerpts from the Cisco press release shown below:
"Cisco Systems® today extended its leadership position in wireless local area network (WLAN) security by announcing that the Cisco® Unified Wireless LAN Controllers and Access Points have received National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 level 2 validation of its IEEE 802.11i WLAN security architecture.
Cisco has been working closely with the Department of Defense (DoD) in defining requirements to enable higher levels of security and interoperability in wireless solutions. By meeting these cryptographic security standards with FIPS validation, the Cisco Unified Wireless Network meets another critical security requirement mandated by the DoD policy for commercial WLAN deployments" ...
"Currently, Cisco is the only centralized WLAN solution listed in process with the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Common Criteria program for conformance to the U.S. government WLAN Access System Protection Profile for Basic Robustness - the final step in achieving total DoD Directive 8100.2 compliance. All new DoD acquisitions for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) WLAN systems must be evaluated against this protection profile. Cisco expects to achieve final Common Criteria validation in the first quarter of 2007" ...
"Securing wireless clients with Common Criteria validation is also a mandate of the new DoD policy. To address this, Cisco is announcing its SolutionsPlus partnership with 3eTI, a subsidiary of EFJ, Inc., the only WLAN client vendor currently listed in process for NIAP Common Criteria evaluation. The 3eTI client is also the only WLAN client solution that supports FIPS 802.11i security for Intel Centrino devices as well as other major client platforms. Together with Cisco SolutionsPlus partner 3eTI, Cisco is the only vendor that can deliver a comprehensive end-to-end wireless solution that meets all of the federal policy requirements for WLAN security."
- EFJ, Inc. Ranks 6th on FORTUNE Small Business Fastest-Growing Small Companies 100 List

FORTUNE Small Business announced today that EFJ, Inc. (Nasdaq: EFJI) has been ranked 6th on the sixth annual FSB 100 list of the fastest growing small companies in America. The list, which is comprised of public companies, appears in the July/August issue of FORTUNE Small Business and is available at FSB.com.
"We are honored to be selected by Fortune Small Business as one of fastest growing small companies in America," said Michael E. Jalbert, chairman and chief executive officer of EFJ, Inc. California tops the list of the states with the most companies on the FORTUNE Small Business 100 with 18 companies, followed by Texas with 12, New York with eight and New Jersey with seven.
To compile the sixth annual list, FORTUNE Small Business asked financial research firm Zacks to rank public companies with revenues less than $200 million and a stock price of more than $1, based on their percentage growth in earnings, revenue, and stock performance over the past three years. Banks and real estate firms were excluded.
- Dallas Morning News cites EFJ, Inc. as a "small firm having a big impact" on the US economy - June 12, 2006
"Michael Jalbert, chairman and chief executive of EFJ, said that a small business owner who takes his firm public shouldn't get too wrapped up in the company's share price.
'Make sure you're not managing for the street expectations, because if you do that, you're going to end up with a 90-day strategy,' he said.
Mr. Jalbert, who took over EFJ's predecessor company in 1999 and reorganized the firm in 2003, also said that when a small business grows to become a medium or large business, the management style has to change.
'I've turned around six companies in the last 25 years, and one of the things I've always found with companies started by entrepreneurs is they reach a certain level, and if they can't make the transition from being the decision maker on every single issue to being a delegator, they will eventually fail,' he said."

"EFJ could look to expand beyond its current voice-centric technology.
'We will get a lot of organic growth out of our current business
opportunities, but there are also technology opportunities out there
that will help us fill what we call the homeland security umbrella,'
said Jalbert. 'There’s data out there, video out there—communication
opportunities out there that are different than what’s done
today. We think we can spend that money in that area and gain
good returns for our shareholders.' "
