IHSI put a PR out this morning involving BVTK
http://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/01/18/1296490/0/en/Intelligent-Highway-Solutions-Chooses-Bravatek-as-Strategic-Partner.html
Either would be good... bought some of both after the MAP announcements.

Look for BVTK announcements this week...
Tweet: Just the beginning of exciting announcements this week...:

Hadn't thought of that... a possible acquisition through the JV... that's an interesting point!
imo
BVTK
Do we have any idea what the next acquisition is?
BVTK
BVTK's CEO had the honor to attend the recent Presidential Inauguration and receive President Trump's umbrella at St. John Lafayette Church in D.C., as well as spent time with the First Lady who is very kind and gentile...Mrs. Cellucci loves the White House at Christmas.

BVTK
Did you ask him yourself?

BVTK
Apparently, he is that great, otherwise he would NOT be meeting with President Trump and the President of Kazakhstan this week... we just don't know the behind-the-scenes info... and that's okay. If he's good enough for the PresidentS of the United States (Trump, Obama, Bush), he's good enough for me!
imo
BVTK
That domain is still owned by Helpcomm, if you check the whois... so even if it's correct, that can't be attributed to BVTK...

BVTK
Thank you for the link...
I noticed that the letter says "The Applicant appreciates the Examiner's suggestion regarding this issue and has amended claim 1 in part to require "one or more devices" and "one or more processors" configured to perform the stated limitations."
If they weren't really working toward and expecting a solution (the Applicant and the Examiner), then it seems unlikely the Examiner would be wasting time making "suggestions"... this approval is going to happen, imo... it's just a matter of time and some amendments. You start with the broadest application, expecting it to get rejected, and slowing make it more focused until it's accepted... that way you get the broadest patent possible...

"why does nobody in washington d.c. want anything to do with him?" -stemcell
The President of the United States (in Washington D.C.) has something to do with him... they are in a meeting together this week with the President of Kazakhstan...
Not everyone has meetings with the President of the United States... they are checked out intensely for security purposes... and when a company CEO makes it ALL THE WAY TO A MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, you can rest assured that the company has been THOROUGHLY vetted, also...
If there was ANYTHING fishy about Dr. C or BVTK, it would have been found, and he would not have been invited to the meeting. Especially with the President of another country in the meeting... Dr. C and BVTK would have been very closely scrutinized before being invited to this meeting... if they weren't the 'real deal', he wouldn't have been invited to take part in this meeting.
No worries...
imo
BVTK
Wooohooooooo!!!
Go BVTK!
I guess we'll have to wait and see what BVTK does...
Let's check back in a year, shall we?
(no, I don't think it will take anywhere near that long, but it is an easy, 'round' number...)

And I have experience with contracts where the Prime performed NONE of the work, and the subs performed ALL of the work. Just because you haven't seen it does not mean it doesn't exist. DAU even explains it in their definitions. It's a real thing, and it happens ALL THE TIME. BVTK can win the contract as the Prime, and the sub/subs perform ALL the work. BVTK, as the Prime, would also receive part of the money paid on the contract in this instance.
And yes, it would be included in the solicitation, so BVTK would know if they should even bid on the work in the first place, if they are going to use 100% subs...
It's not 'brokering'... it's the Prime submitting a proposal for work, and the work is performed 100% by the subs that are part of the 'team'... sometimes the actual work breakdown (% of work performed by prime and/or each sub) is required when the proposal is submitted, sometimes it isn't.

From DAU.mil... the government Defense Acquisition University website:
"Subcontracting occurs when a Government prime contractor awards a contract to another company (the subcontractor) to perform part or all of the prime contractor’s obligations under its contract with the Government. It includes situations where a supplier, distributor, vendor, or firm furnishes supplies or services to another subcontractor."
BVTK could have a sub perform ALL of the work on a contract. It's done all the time. BVTK is ultimately responsible for the contract requirements being met, but does not have to perform ANY of the work.

If you have the experience, I'm surprised you don't know that a company does NOT always have to perform ANY of the work, thus the question about if it was cut and paste, or experience...
Some contracts say the prime has to perform a certain percentage of the work, but not all contracts say that.
BVTK can have a sub perform the work, depending on the contract.

And who says all the work is USA federal government contracts, anyway?

Is your information from "cut and paste" or from real life experience working on government contracts? Mine is from experience, and I am sure that is the case with some others here (with tons more real life experience than my little 10+ years). Depending on the contract requirements and the agreements set up, a 'Prime' company MAY NOT HAVE TO perform any of the actual work on the contract (a 'sub' with the capabilities can perform the work), and the 'Prime' can receive a pass thru fee, and have a 'sub' perform the work.

"Not even close. A General Contractor is a Prime Contractor. The US Government requires Prime Contractors to self-perform a minimum percentage of the work with their own forces on any given contract meaning the General Contractor has to actually be qualified to do the work and then to actually do something to earn payment." - foxwoodsfan
It depends on the requirements of the contract... I know (and have worked with) companies with government contracts that don't do any of the work... they don't have the capabilities... but they know companies that do... those companies do all the work, and the prime gets the pass-thru fee... sounds similar to what BVTK is doing... although it is called a 'finder's fee', rather than a pass-thru... but the idea is similar...
imo
BVTK
Doesn't a General Contractor use sub contractors/companies to complete different parts of a job (not do it all themselves?)? At least that's how it happened when I had my house built. Seems similar to me... different companies to complete the whole security setup... Like BVTK... they know what the need is, and set up the customer and the company... Maybe it's a 'finders fee' instead of a pass-through, but the idea is similar in providing the connection between what a customer needs and what a company offers (products/services), and getting paid for it...
That's how I equate BVTK to being anything like a General Contractor.
imo
BVTK
Didn't think of that... That would be nifty!
BVTK
When I saw it, I thought it was one of those computer generated 'fun' things that Facebook links let you 'create'... sort of like the ones about 'what does your name mean' or 'what is your ideal job'...
Doesn't the name on a ticket have to match your passport? I would think that he has his middle name or at least his middle initial on his passport. Also, it has a city name (Almaty), but not a country.
Or maybe it's a fun thing that lets you put info in and makes a 'ticket' graphic to post on Facebook, and he put that date because he knew he'd be meeting with the President of Kazakhstan that day (but here, with Trump... not over there, but he couldn't come out and say that before)...
It's still on his Facebook page, I just looked. It was posted January 6.
Or maybe it really is real, but it definitely didn't look real to me.

BVTK
Customers do not have to piece together their security solutions themselves... BVTK can offer all the pieces, and those pieces are designed to work together seamlessly, so there are no gaps in the pieces or the process... BVTK is sort of like a General Contractor, so the customer doesn't have to figure out what they need, what's missing in what they THINK they need, and doesn't have to try to piece it all together, and doesn't have to figure out what's wrong when the pieces aren't cooperating with each other, and doesn't get thrown between different disagreeing companies if they have a question or problem... BVTK takes care of it all! Genius!

Does anyone have evidence he's not?

And this will be TWO presidents at once.

and this is just the beginning!
This is so impressive! Just wanted to post it again! What a great CEO we have! Well connected and well respected!
BVTK's CEO, The Hon., Lord Admiral Dr. Thomas A. Cellucci received a special invitation to meetings with President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan and President Trump next week in Washington, D.C.

Honestly what legitimate CEO that has all these “high level contacts” and a direct line to the WH associates himself with bottom feeder companies.
The kind of CEO that is joining the President of Kazakhstan AND the President of the United States in a meeting next week...

This was not put out by BVTK, it was put out by LIBE, but includes BVTK.
(It doesn't say how much, but it is an order.)
“This is a version of the Guard Lite that is geared more towards municipalities or areas that need higher end security. This is our first order that falls under our new Joint Venture with Bravatek Solutions (BVTK)..."

From the link... it uses both:
The acquisition allows Fazync Corporation the rights to manufacture market and sell the Fazync Phase Angle Synchronization technology. Fazync Corporation will install the Fazync technology system in its new facility in Sacramento, California, that will be a live, real-time operational unit. IHSI is setting up demonstrations for utilities, large commercial and industrial users at our new facility.
Devon Jones, CEO of IHSI, stated, "The LOI that was signed last month with Fazync LLC was the initial step that moved us to taking an equity position in Fazync. This memorandum, and the forthcoming definitive agreements, are a natural evolution, moving our understanding of the technology from market testing to market acceptance. We have met with utilities, commercial and industrial owners, and the idea of recycling energy has generated enormous interest. We are moving forward to demonstrate the technology. We have scheduled upcoming, live demonstrations."

AppGuard, which is referred to in the 8-K. There are other companies that are sales lead finders/re-sellers for AppGuard, too, that this SAA 8-K has nothing to do with.
"Bravatek agrees to serve as a non-exclusive project sales lead finder for AppGuard."

Apparently, the US Government likes what they have to offer...
"Prominent industry analysts have recognized AppGuard as a leading next generation solution for endpoint protection.

In addition to those awards, the US Army recognized the effectiveness of AppGuard by granting it a Certificate of Net Worthiness in 2017." https://www.appguard.us/business/
Let's not overlook this...

For any business, there is value to all additional sales pipelines... BVTK gives them additional sales leads through BVTK's contacts... It is 'active' sales, rather than 'passive' sales. No one company can 'actively' reach all potential customers, or even 'actively' reach a tiny fraction of potential customers (every potential business (large, medium, and small), government agency (federal, state, local, international), etc) and a customer is MUCH more likely to buy from an 'active' sales method than a 'passive' sales method.

Why would anyone want to use the outdated technology when there is something better available to protect our country?

And if BVTK/DPT is a SUBcontractor on any work, the NDA 'rule-following' is even more intense, as they have to abide by the rules of the NDA between the Prime and the government/customer, AND the NDA information release limitations between BVTK/DPT and the Prime (the NDA restrictions between the government/customer and Prime would carry down into the NDA between BVTK/DPT and the Prime, and add any additional restrictions on information release that the Prime wants to add into it)...
