Aegis Assessments, Inc. (OTCBB:AGSI) is showcasing the SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM) at the 29th Annual International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) Law Enforcement Information Management Training Conference and Exhibition being held May 23-27, 2005 at the Joseph S. Koury Convention Center in Greensboro, North Carolina. 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 IACP is the world's oldest and largest nonprofit membership organization of police executives, with over 19,000 members in over 100 different countries. The IACP LEIM Conference provides an opportunity for its members to learn more about contemporary information management technologies and initiatives and plays a role in LEIM's mission to advance the law enforcement profession through technology. Agenda topics include mobile computing, information security and intrusion detection, evaluation of information technology, strategic planning for law enforcement information systems, technology funding, grant management, and wireless communications integration and interoperability.
Corporate sponsors of the LEIM include Cisco Systems, IBM, Motorola, Northrop Grumman, Unisys, GTSI Corp. and Cingular Wireless. Law enforcement participants include the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Office of Science and Technology, which features a series of presentations that highlight NIJ's latest information and communications technology projects. The SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM) was chosen to participate in the NIJ's Office of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization (OLETC) program last year. The program is designed to identify and commercialize innovative technology for use by the law enforcement community. The program provides support through every stage of technology transfer and commercialization.
Communications interoperability among first responders is a 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. Industry officials estimate that the cost of purchasing new radio systems for every agency in the country could reach $18 billion nationwide.
CirTran Wins Contract to Develop Next-Generation SafetyNet RadioBridge

CirTran Corp. (OTC BB: CIRT), an international full-service contract manufacturer of IT, consumer and consumer electronics products, said today it has been awarded a contract to develop the next-generation SafetyNet(TM) RadioBridge(TM).
The contract from Aegis Assessments Inc. (OTC BB: AGSI), of Scottsdale, Ariz., calls for CirTran to add features for enhanced performance in the SafetyNet RadioBridge, which interconnects incompatible radios, bridging them to provide radio interoperability at emergency sites in just minutes.
Shaher Hawatmeh, CirTran's chief operating officer, said the redesign will improve bridging of trunked and non-trunked radios, enhance sound quality in audio transmissions, and add internal storage for cables, headsets and other accessories.
"CirTran knows that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) places a very high priority on communications interoperability for first responders," said Hawatmeh.
Project SAFECOM, the federal umbrella program managed by the DHS, oversees 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.
CirTran Chosen "to Ensure Quality and Continuity"
"CirTran was selected to redevelop and manufacture the SafetyNet RadioBridge for a variety of reasons," said Richard Reincke, president of Aegis Assessments.
"We wanted to ensure quality and continuity in the process, from design to manufacture, and then to high-volume manufacturing," Reincke said. "CirTran will redesign the product and begin building units. As manufacturing needs grow, CirTran offers a unique blend of quality and quantity, including the ability to build at its Salt Lake City facility or control a higher volume output through its CirTran-Asia subsidiary in China."
Reincke said that while DHS officials do not have a cost estimate for the national deployment of patching systems, JPS Communications, a unit of Raytheon Corp. (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, Reincke said, allow public safety agencies to use existing radio systems to temporarily integrate communications with other agencies without incurring the time and cost of building new or additional infrastructure.
Other proposed solutions to radio interoperability, Reincke said, include standards-based shared systems. Companies promoting standards-based shared systems include Motorola Inc. (NYSE:MOT), the market leader in two-way radio services for public safety, transportation, utility and government in the United States. Estimates for implementation of a national emergency radio system run as high as $18 billion.
"CirTran is confident that we will meet the needs of Aegis with 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," Hawatmeh said.

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.
