AGSI News Aegis Assessments, Inc. Provides SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM) for Hurricane Relief Efforts
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 12, 2005--Aegis Assessments, Inc. (OTCBB:AGSI) announced today that it has provided its Aegis SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM) system to the United States Emergency Chaplains Corps for use in the greater New Orleans area in their hurricane relief efforts. The SafetyNet Radio Bridge interconnects incompatible radios and bridges them beyond their normal capabilities to provide immediate radio interoperability at an emergency site.
"The United States Emergency Chaplains Corps are the chaplains to the first responders," said Chaplain J. R. Miller. "We minister to police, firefighters, all the responders taking care of the public -- we respond to the responders. Along with that, one of the principal things you need is clear, concise communication, and that's been a problem. We appreciate the donation of a RadioBridge to help us in our mission. As different chaplains respond, we can patch in radios from anywhere in the country, which is very important to us."
"We're continuing to provide additional RadioBridges to the Gulf region to help first responders with their critical communications needs," said Aegis' President, Richard Reincke. "It's vital that federal, state and local agencies have the tools to communicate in emergency situations and we're committed to helping the relief efforts in every way we can."
The Aegis SafetyNet Radio Bridge was referenced in the Congressional Quarterly last year as a provider of radio bridging or "patchworking" devices. The article stated that the idea of patchworking appears to be gaining support inside the DHS because it can provide radio interoperability at a significantly lower cost than purchasing new emergency radio systems for every agency in the country. Modern radio systems can cost $150 million to $300 million per state.
