Utah County Orders Additional SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM) Systems for Fire Season;
Aegis Announces Marketing Campaign
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aegis Assessments, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: AGSI - News), a wireless technology company that provides products that improve emergency communications for homeland security, public safety and commercial applications, today announced that it has received an order for additional SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM) systems from the Utah County Public Works Telecommunications Division for use in the upcoming fire season. The Aegis RadioBridge is a portable wireless device that interconnects incompatible radios and bridges them to ensure radio interoperability at an emergency site. This is an additional purchase of Radio Bridges for the Utah County Fire Department.
The company also announced a direct marketing campaign focusing on police and fire departments in the western United States that have received grant funding for interoperable radio equipment. The RadioBridge is listed in the Department of Homeland Security's Responder Knowledge Base, a national information resource for emergency responders, sponsored by the Oklahoma City National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism. This project is designed to provide emergency responders with a trusted, integrated online source of information on equipment and related items such as standards, training, and grants.
Communications interoperability among first responders is a high priority for approximately 50,000 public safety agencies in the United States, including 18,000 state and local law enforcement agencies, 26,000 fire departments, 6,000 emergency medical responders and several thousand utility and infrastructure public agencies. Industry officials estimate that the cost of purchasing new radio systems for every agency in the country could reach $18 billion nationwide.
"The Aegis RadioBridge is both an affordable and rapidly deployable solution for ensuring communications interoperability for public safety agencies nationwide," commented Richard Reincke, President and Chief Operating Officer of Aegis Assessments.
