SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Apr 18, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Aegis Assessments, Inc. (OTCBB:AGSI) announced today that it has contracted to develop the next generation SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM) with new features for enhanced performance with CirTran Corporation (OTCBB:CIRT). CirTran Corporation is a full-service electronics contract manufacturer and has an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9002 registration.
The SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM) interconnects incompatible radios and bridges them to provide radio interoperability at an emergency site in a matter of minutes. The enhanced version features improvements in the sound quality of audio transmissions, the addition of an internal storage compartment for cables, headsets and other accessories, and improved bridging of trunked and non-trunked radios.
Communications interoperability among first responders is a high priority for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which manages Project SAFECOM, the overarching umbrella program within the federal government that oversees all initiatives and projects pertaining to public safety communications and interoperability 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.
There are different types of systems currently available that provide radio interoperability. The first is patchwork interoperability, where radios are connected through a system such as the SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM). The patchworking idea has support inside Project SAFECOM but DHS officials do not have a cost estimate for the nationwide deployment of patching systems. JPS Communications, a unit of Raytheon Corporation (NYSE:RTN), has estimated that patchwork interoperability, the kind of system sold by Aegis and JPS, could be accomplished nationwide for approximately $350 million. Patchworking devices allow public safety agencies to use their existing radio systems to temporarily integrate their communications with other agencies in any location in the country without the cost of building additional infrastructure.
Other proposed solutions to radio interoperability include the standards-based shared systems that encompass different radio systems working on a shared infrastructure, with various agencies working on their own frequencies and being able to switch to a shared network. Companies promoting standards-based shared systems include Motorola, Inc. (NYSE:MOT), which is the market leader in providing two-way radio services to public safety, transportation, utility and government enterprises in the United States. Estimates for implementation of a national emergency radio system run as high as $18 billion.
