CirTran Completes First Phase of Redevelopment of Second-Generation SafetyNet RadioBridge for Aegis Assessments
Business Wire - August 09, 2005 08:35
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug 09, 2005 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CirTran Corp.(OTCBB: CIRT), an international full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, said today it has completed the first phase of a contract to develop the next-generation SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM).
In April of this year, CirTran was awarded a contract for the redesign by Aegis Assessments Inc. (OTCBB: AGSI), a homeland security contractor headquartered in Scottsdale, Ariz.
The SafetyNet RadioBridge interconnects incompatible radios, bridging them to provide radio interoperability at emergency sites in minutes. The CirTran-developed 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.
"We are very pleased with the progress made by CirTran in our next-generation RadioBridge," said Richard Reincke, president of Aegis, after seeing the enhanced RadioBridge demonstrated at CirTran's West Valley facility.
Earlier this year, Aegis entered into an agreement with government IT leader GTSI Corp. (NASDAQ: GTSI), granting GTSI the right to act as a reseller of the Aegis SafetyNet RadioBridge to its diverse base of federal, state and local government customers. GTSI, he said, spearheaded the qualification process for the SafetyNet RadioBridge for purchase through the U.S. Communities program, which provides local agencies in the United States with publicly competitively bid contracts for various products and services.
Reincke called communications interoperability among first responders "a very 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. He said spending by local governments on products through the U.S. Communities program was approximately $500 million last year, and that estimates run as high as $18 billion for the purchase of new radio systems by every agency nationwide.
CirTran Ready to Meet Demand
"As sales of radio systems continues to grow, CirTran has the manufacturing capacity domestically in Salt Lake City, and through our CirTran-Asia subsidiary in China, to meet the growing demands in the interoperable communications product market," said Trevor Saliba, the company's executive vice president for worldwide business development.
The redevelopment work on the SafetyNet RadioBridge for Aegis, he said, is being performed at the same high quality that earned the prestigious ISO 9001:2000 certification for our Salt Lake City facility, where we work for other top customers including Lockheed Martin Corp., Nortel(TM), Linux Networx(TM) and Flextronics," Saliba said.
