Applied Global Technologies Develops New Ruggedized Portable Multimedia Communications Product for First-Responders.

ROCKLEDGE, Fla. -- The IC-360 Gear provides Emergency Management with complete onsite communications

Applied Global Technologies, proven experts in IP collaboration technologies and solutions, announces the development of a much-needed mobile communications package for Emergency Response and Management Applications. The compact, self-contained ruggedized kit allows first responders to provide terrestrial command centers with immediate data, video and audio from any remote location.

"The IC-360 demonstrates the best of AGT's Special Projects Group capabilities," stated Ben Atha, Chief Technical Officer, Applied Global Technologies. "AGT engineers pride themselves on the ability to develop functional cost-effective solutions to unique customer problems. Our long history of working with the US Military and National Guard provides our engineers with insight into the Emergency Response needs."

Easily deployable and easy to use, the IC-360 Gear allows police, fire, rescue, military and others to immediately communicate from the scene of natural disasters or man-made incidents. It is portable, can use any AC or DC power source, contains internal batteries for independent operation, contains critical communication tools and integrates cleanly into existing emergency management applications, tool suites and architectures.

"In working with numerous state, local, and military organizations, clients have repeatedly cited the need for a rapidly-deployable voice, video, and data suite that anyone from the 'boots to the suits' can utilize effectively," stated Matthew Rinehart, Senior Systems Engineer, Applied Global Technologies. "The IC-360 addresses these requirements with multiple network redundancies in both a secure and intuitively easy-to-use form factor."

In addition to aiding first responders, the IC-360 is also useful for pre-planned events. From military exercises to sporting events to political conventions, the IC-360 provides instant data, voice, and visual communication back to an on-site command post or terrestrial central location.

"With the return of hurricane season we are reminded how important it is for emergency response teams to be able to rapidly deploy and effectively communicate in remote areas," added Todd Jacobson, Vice President of Product Development, Applied Global Technologies. "We are excited about the IC-360, developed by AGT's R&D team, and its ability to effectively facilitate remote and rapid communication."

The IC-360 provides instant communications through instant connectivity for immediate command onsite. The list price for each unit is $27,000. To order or for more information, contact AGT at [e-mail] or 321-638-2007.
