Roaming Messenger Demonstrates Homeland Security ''Killer App'' at Emergency Management Conference
Tuesday November 15, 4:05 pm ET
The Company Addresses the Communication Interoperability Challenge Posed by Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff


SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2005--Roaming Messenger (OTCBB:RMSG - News), the provider of a breakthrough mobile messaging platform, today demonstrated its interoperability features from the show floor at the International Association of Emergency Management (IAEM) Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
Roaming Messenger was recently referred to as the "Killer App" for homeland security by nationally recognized strategist, David Stephenson, in his daily homeland security publication. Citing Roaming Messenger's smart messaging capability and interoperability across multiple devices and networks, Mr. Stephenson believes that Roaming Messenger's technology combines the necessary features and functions to make it the standard bearer for emergency communications in the post-Katrina world. Roaming Messenger possesses a unique ability to provide interoperable communication for federal, state and local emergency management systems over different networks and carriers, and across a variety of devices including desktop, laptop, cell phones and PDAs.

Michael Chertoff, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, calls communication interoperability the biggest challenge in recent hurricane response efforts. Addressing this challenge, Roaming Messenger demonstrated a hurricane response scenario at the Interoperability Pavilion. The following summarizes the company's successful simulation:

The National Hurricane Center warns of a Category 4 hurricane to hit Southeastern Florida, and sends messages to state and local Emergency Operation Centers ("EOC") running emergency management systems from leading providers NC4, ESS and MyStateUSA
EOC issues evacuation orders to field resources through RMSG which sends interactive messengers to BlackBerrys, smart phones, and desktops, delivering information and gathering responses
When the hurricane hits, fallen trees and debris block roadways leaving many communities isolated
Public Works needs heavy equipment to unblock roadways
Because of looting, the County EOC, running MyStateUSA, calls in the National Guard
Florida EOC, running Oracle, sends request to FEMA for tent cities as shelters become full
FEMA sends resource requests through RMSG to field personnel to assemble and deliver requested resources
All this is happening in real-time!
Concurrently in two other demonstration scenarios, explosion and pandemic flu, RMSG is similarly being used as a central gateway for delivering interactive time-critical information to various devices achieving mobile interoperability
Jon Lei, Roaming Messenger's CEO stated, "We are honored by the invitation to co-sponsor the Interoperability Pavilion with COMCARE and are excited to demonstrate our technology at such a high profiled event. It's taken us a long time to be recognized by the industry. Now, I believe that we have finally arrived!"

Mr. Lei commented further, "The world we live in has become increasingly more dangerous and we must use new and better technology to overcome and respond to these new threats. It's unfortunate that it took major disasters to put information technology investment on the front burner for governments and corporations worldwide. The return-on-investment in technology that saves lives and preserves assets is priceless. We are glad to be playing a major part in the value chain - that part is interoperable mobile communication!"
