HipLinkXS Chosen as Urgent Messaging Solution for Litchfield County E-911 Response Team
SAN JOSE, Calif.--Jan. 7, 2002--Semotus Solutions, the Wireless Architects(TM) (AMEX:DLK), a leading provider of mobile enterprise applications, today announced that HipLinkXS, a market leading wireless messaging software solution, is to be deployed at Litchfield County's Fire and Ambulance Dispatching Center (LCFADC) for its Emergency Response (E-911) Team.
The Dispatch Center was originally using a dated paging solution that frequently locked up when messaging was most crucially needed; when the company that developed the software went out of business, technical support became non-existent. LCFADC needed a highly robust and scalable messaging solution that would be well supported, and configurable to the Center's future needs as it added more dispatchers and field workers to its Response Team.
LCFADC chose HipLinkXS as the replacement messaging software solution for its integration capabilities (the software will work in conjunction with LCFADC's computer-aided dispatch application), its high scalability, and custom rich features as LCFADC plans to implement two-way messaging between the Response Team and Dispatchers in the near future. HipLinkXS will manage the paging function at 36 Litchfield County Fire and Ambulance facilities, comprised of approximately 250 field workers.
"The fact that HipLinkXS was chosen by the E-911 Response Team as its key urgent paging software solution is an excellent indicator of HipLink's proven reliability as a state-of-the-art wireless product that delivers," stated Steve McAllister, Semotus Group president of E-Commerce and M-Commerce. "It also clearly demonstrates that Semotus' wireless products are recognized in yet another vertical market, the Emergency Response industry. This sale brings immediate revenue to Semotus, as well as future revenue when two-way messaging is implemented at LCFADC."
According to META Group research, 75% of knowledge workers will be mobile at least 25% of the time, making it imperative to extend enterprise messaging and collaboration tools to them in a secure, reliable wireless environment.
Today, there are approximately 45 million mobile workers in the U.S.; many carry a cellular phone (there are 60 million wireless phones in use in the U.S.). Many carry pagers (there are 50 million pagers). And many carry a palmtop, handheld, or notebook PC (20 million).
HipLinkXS is a powerful, state-of-the-art messaging solution. HipLinkXS enables delivery of critical messages to and from the field with the customer's choice of carriers and devices, and is designed to fully integrate with any enterprise application. HipLinkXS provides the seamless and rapid link between applications, clients, customers, partners and employees. Users can send messages and request a response back from the receiver, with the ability to automatically trigger server processes based on the response from the field.
HipLinkXS provides a significant value proposition for corporations to generally improve customer service while reducing costs and increasing premise/mobile workforce efficiency and productivity. For more information on HipLinkXS, visit www.hiplinkwireless.com
