NORWALK, Conn., June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Defentect
Group, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: DFTC), a developer and provider of
rapid response software applications for safety and security
purposes, is pleased to announce that the Company has joined forces
with MayDay360, LLC, a corporation formed by Manhattan based Investigative Management Group
and Beth Holloway, mother of
Natalee Holloway who disappeared in
Aruba in 2005.
Leveraging Defentect's communications technology and SmartPhone
application, DefenCall, Defentect and MayDay360, have created a
unique personal security and emergency response solution.
DefenCall is the first program for a SmartPhone that enables
a user to broadcast his or her location in the event of an
emergency. When the user presses the MayDay360 panic button, the
user's geospatial coordinates and other pertinent information are
sent to Defentect's proprietary DM3™ response system and relayed to
MayDay360. A phone call is automatically placed from the
user's SmartPhone to MayDay360's support team, allowing the user to
speak with someone who can provide assistance. MayDay360 is
accessible worldwide; so no matter where a user is, the potentially
life-saving information will reach first responders so that action
can be taken within seconds.
James Ackerly, CEO of Defentect
Group, Inc., commented on the agreement by saying, "Partnering with
MayDay360 is a perfect example of how our messaging system can
facilitate a timely response to a wide variety of situations. Our
software platform combined with MayDay360's expertise and resources
in this market has produced a security service that will offer
priceless peace of mind to users and their families. We are excited
by the potential that this opportunity holds for us both."
"We are pleased with the way that Defentect's technology brings
to life our concept of providing security assistance quickly and
from anywhere in the world," stated Ross
Thompson, founder of MayDay360, LLC. "This agreement brings
us another step closer to providing as many people as possible with
the resources that they need to get help fast in a crisis
situation."
Beth Holloway, Executive Director
of the Natalee Holloway Resource Center and principal of MayDay360
reiterated, "I have dedicated my life to the protection of
traveling young people and this alliance between Defentect and
MayDay360 gives us all an important tool with which to accomplish
that."
