NORWALK, Conn., May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Defentect Group,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DFTC), a developer and provider of rapid
response software applications for the threat detection industry,
announced today the Company's newest initiative that incorporates
Defentect's intelligent messaging software with SmartPhone
technology for use in commercial and security related applications.
Defentect's recent shift in corporate focus from radiation
detection to rapid response software has opened the door to many
revenue generating vertical markets, such as the billion dollar
SmartPhone industry. These vertical markets incorporate the robust
architecture of Defentect's proprietary DM3™ software, allowing the
same technology that can protect cities and municipalities from a
dirty bomb to also safeguard multiple resources across a broad
spectrum of society.
"This newest addition to Defentect's suite of products is a
direct result of the Company's recent restructuring efforts. We
have identified a market segment that can directly benefit from the
power of our DM3™ technology and applied that knowledge to develop
a product to serve the rapidly growing SmartPhone industry,"
commented James Ackerly, CEO of
Defentect Group, Inc.
According to International Data Corporation, a global provider
of market intelligence for a variety of technology segments, the
worldwide SmartPhone market reached a new record level of 54.5
million units shipped in the fourth quarter of 2009, up 39% from
the same quarter of 2008. Vendors shipped a total of 174.2 million
units for the full year in 2009.
"Our research has indicated that just as the computer
transformed personal and professional lives in the recent past, the
SmartPhone is the next generation of transformative gateway
technology. Defentect is poised to take advantage of this
opportunity, implementing our platform for various public safety
avenues. That is what Defentect is all about," Ackerly went on to
say.
Currently, there are several applications in the development and
testing phases. Defentect anticipates making the application
available to marketing partners and individual iPhone users in the
coming weeks. The Company intends for future versions to be
compatible with additional "smart" devices.
