                           ACCELERATION OF EFFECTIVENESS
                           REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-1
                           FILE NO. 333-122394

Dear Mr. Buchmiller:

         We hereby request, pursuant to Rule 461(a) of Regulation C, that the
above-referenced Registration Statement be declared effective at 5:30 p.m.
Eastern time on June 30, 2005 or as soon as practicable thereafter.

         Emrise Corporation ("Company") confirms that it is aware of its
responsibilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 as they relate to the proposed public offering of the securities
specified in the above-referenced Registration Statement and acknowledges that:

   o     should the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") or the
         staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing
         effective, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
         with respect to the filing;

   o     the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated
         authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the
         Company from its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of
         the disclosure in the filing; and

   o     the Company may not assert staff comments and the declaration of
         effectiveness as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the
         Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the
         United States.

                                   Very truly yours,

                                   EMRISE CORPORATION
