(Chantilly, VA, September 9, 2002)
- SpectraRep announces that they will be datacasting live first response content
over digital television at the Homeland Security Technology Expo and
Conference being held at the D.C. Armory on September 18 and 19, 2002,
from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. The conference and expo is sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, in association with the Office of Homeland Security, and
is open to the public. This event will show that our government is dedicated to
homeland security and American ingenuity. Both public and private sector leaders
have joined together to find ways to ensure that we employ America's best ideas
today to protect our citizens of tomorrow. SpectraRep, along with more than 130
other vendors, will be on-hand to demonstrate their latest homeland security
technology.
"We will offer one very compelling example of how wearable computer
technology combined with digital television's ability to distribute wireless
last mile broadband data to literally an infinite number of receive locations in
the field can work," states SpectraRep's President, Rick Ducey. The
integrated mobile/wearable solutions provide operators fast access to critical
data related to buildings and other facilities. This information could include
blueprints, structural traits, communications/networking/electrical schematics,
and locations of fire suppressant equipment or locations of valuable assets.
Examples of applications include security and safety audits, and emergency
response preparedness for government or commercial installations at military
facilities, corporate campuses, public-use facilities, power plants, banks,
hospitals, and schools.
