PROXY STATEMENT OF THE NORTH PITTSBURGH SYSTEMS SHAREHOLDER
COMMITTEE IN OPPOSITION TO THE SOLICITATION BY THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS OF NORTH PITTSBURGH SYSTEMS, INC.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS (To be held on July --, 2007)

The North Pittsburgh Systems Shareholder Committee, a committee
comprised of certain stockholders of North Pittsburgh Systems,
Inc. ("NPSI") is sending this proxy statement and the enclosed
GREEN proxy card to stockholders of record as of June --, 2007
(the "Record Date") of NPSI.  We are soliciting a proxy to vote
your shares at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of NPSI (the
"Meeting").  Please refer to the board of directors' proxy
soliciting material for additional information concerning the
Meeting and the matters to be considered by stockholders
including the election of directors.  This proxy statement and
the enclosed GREEN proxy card are first being sent to
stockholders of NPSI on or about June --, 2007.

INTRODUCTION

The only matter that the board has scheduled for a vote at the
Meeting is the election of seven directors.  We intend to
nominate two persons for election as directors and to introduce
a proposal that the poison pill be waived for a cash offer for
all shares of NPSI.  We are soliciting a proxy to vote your
shares FOR the election of our two nominees and FOR our anti-
poison pill proposal.

How Proxies Will Be Voted

If you wish to vote FOR the election of our two nominees and/or
to vote on our anti-poison pill proposal, you may do so by
completing and returning a GREEN proxy card.  If you return a
GREEN proxy card to us or to our agent, your shares will be
voted on each matter as you indicate.  If you do not indicate
how your shares are to be voted on a matter, they will be voted
FOR the election of our nominees, FOR the election of the five
incumbents named below and FOR our anti-poison pill proposal.
If you return a GREEN proxy card, you will be granting the proxy
holder(s) discretionary authority to vote on any other matters
that may come before the Meeting including matters relating to
the conduct of the Meeting.

Voting Requirements

The presence in person or by proxy of more than 50% of NPSI's
outstanding shares constitutes a quorum.  If a quorum is
present, the seven nominees receiving the greatest number of
votes cast will be elected directors.  The anti-poison pill
proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the
votes cast for or against it for approval.  Abstentions and
broker non-votes are not treated as votes cast and thus will
have no effect on approval of the anti-poison pill proposal.

Revocation of Proxies

You may revoke any proxy prior to its exercise by (i) delivering
a written revocation of your proxy to us at the Meeting; (ii)
executing and delivering to us a later dated proxy; or (iii)
voting in person at the Meeting. (Attendance at the Meeting will
not in and of itself revoke a proxy.) There is no limit on the
number of times you may revoke your proxy prior to the Meeting.
Only your latest dated proxy will be counted.

Information Concerning the Soliciting Shareholder

The North Pittsburgh Systems Shareholder Committee is the
soliciting person.  Bulldog Investors, Santa Monica Partners LP
and Monarch Activist Partners LP comprise the Committee.  As of
June -- 2007, the Committee's members and their affiliates
beneficially owned ---------- shares of NPSI, all of which were
purchased since March 24, 2006.   Andrew Dakos, one of our
nominees, is a principal of Bulldog Investors.

REASONS FOR THE SOLICITATION

We believe that changes in the telecommunications industry have
diminished NPSI's ability to continue to operate effectively as
an independent telephone company and that a sale of NPSI is
inevitable.  We believe NPSI can be sold now for a nice premium
above the current market price.  As time passes, it will likely
fetch a lower price.  We have attempted to communicate this
prospect to the board but it is apparently in denial.
Consequently, we have determined to elect two directors to the
board and to propose that NPSI's poison pill be waived for a
cash offer to acquire all the shares of NPSI.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The seven candidates receiving the greatest number of votes will
be elected directors.  At the Meeting, we intend to nominate two
persons, Peter Saulnier and Andrew Dakos.  Unless instructed
otherwise, we will vote any proxies given to us for their
election.  We also intend, unless instructed otherwise, to vote
any proxies given to us for the election of the following
incumbent directors if they are nominated: Dr. Charles E. Cole,
Frederick J. Crowley, Stephen G. Kraskin, David E. Nelsen, and
Charles E. Thomas, Jr.  We will not vote any proxies for Harry
R. Brown or Allen P. Kimble if they are nominated.  Mr. Brown
and Mr. Kimble are senior executives of NPSI.  We think they
should not serve as directors because they are conflicted.  If
our nominees are elected, there is no assurance that any of the
other directors will remain on the board.

Please refer to NPSI's proxy soliciting material for additional
information concerning the election of directors.

Our Nominees are:

Peter Saulnier (born 1961) 555 Spring Valley Road Morristown, NJ
07960.  Mr. Saulnier is Managing Partner of Harding Capital LLC
a financial advisory firm focused on emerging and middle market
companies in technology, telecommunications, manufacturing and
consumer products, which he founded in 1999.  Mr. Saulnier was
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Country
Road Communications, LLC ("Country Road") from 2000 to 2005.
Since its formation in 2000, Country Road has acquired and
managed five ILECs in Maine, California, Massachusetts and West
Virginia and started a CLEC and wholesale telecommunications
business in Maine.  From 1983 to 1999 Mr. Saulnier held
positions in investment banking and mergers and acquisitions at
several firms including Smith Barney, Bear Stearns and SG Cowen.
Mr. Saulnier has a BA degree in Political Economy from Williams
College and an MBA from Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth
where he was elected an Edward Tuck Scholar.

Andrew Dakos (born 1966); Park 80 West, Plaza Two, Suite 750,
Saddle Brook, NJ 07663.  Mr. Dakos is a principal of the general
partner of five investment partnerships in the Bulldog Investors
group of funds: Opportunity Partners L.P., Opportunity Income
Plus Fund L.P., Full Value Partners L.P., Full Value Offshore
Ltd., and Full Value Special Situations Fund L.P.  He has been a

Neither Mr. Saulnier nor Mr. Dakos personally owns any shares of
NPSI.  Mr. Dakos is a principal of the general partners of
Opportunity Partners L.P., Opportunity Income Plus Fund L.P.,
Full Value Special Situations Fund L.P.,  Full Value Offshore
Ltd., and Full Value Partners L.P. which beneficially own a
total of  ______ shares. Each of our nominees has consented to
be named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serve as a
director if elected.  Neither of our nominees has any
arrangement or understanding with any person with respect to any
future employment by NPSI nor do we know of any material
conflicts of interest that would prevent either of them from
acting in the best interest of NPSI.

PROPOSAL 2:  IN THE EVENT A CASH OFFER IS MADE FOR ALL SHARES OF
NPSI, THE POISON PILL SHALL BE WAIVED.

In the event of a cash offer for all shares of NPSI, each
shareholder should be able make his or her own decision to
accept or reject the offer.  A poison pill prevents shareholders
from making that decision.  This proposal is precatory.  Unless
otherwise instructed, your proxy will be voted FOR this
proposal.
